Cutts was found guilty of aggravated murder in the death of the unborn child because he did not seek help for the baby even though he knew the mother was dead. Then he was convicted of just "plain old" murder in the death of the mother, as well as he was convicted of abuse of a corpse, burglary and child endangering.

Yes, I'd say the law won this case. Thank goodness. Maybe some of these mommy/baby killers will get a clue as to the outcome of such a cruel decision to kill people that you supposedly love.

Glad to see that those crocodile tears did not fool anyone. Next cop mommy/baby killer up, Drew Peterson?

That was very encouraging to see how Judge Brown had complete control over his courtroom. It's so different than what I'm used to seeing. He brought this trial to an end rather quickly.

He was very strict on ensuring counsel stuck to their one hour limits on closing arguments. And I thought all the questions to the jurors was very interesting too. To preserve the record and ensure the jury wasn't tampered with.

It's a good day when someone so obviously guilty is found so, by a jury of his/her peers.
With all the controversial mumbo-jumbo over such tv fare as "notorious," "csi," "law & order," etc. hopefully many people are learning things like that it is just NOT that EASY to accidentally kill someone.
You can't poke someone in the throat, choke them for a minute, or hit them in the head once and kill them instantly.
Murder is hard work, and anyone who does it is doing it on purpose.

Hallelujah!!! Not often is justice served so swiftly, and especially when it involves an employee within the system! Hope he enjoys himself . . . not a place I would want to be having been in law enforcement, nor going in there thinking what a "bad ass", "pretty boy", and "ruler" I am behind those walls! Her family deserved justice, her baby deserved justice, and I hope he realizes that he still is alive and well throughout all that may happen to him in there! When will this pregnant mommy killing stop?

Next-up on my list is best put by [Sandra] | 02.15.08 - 1:18 pm: "Next cop mommy/baby killer up, Drew Peterson?" They need to find another tactic to interrogate this guy (not sharing what I would suggest . . . against every code in the book). He has continued to prove a defense attorney's worst nightmare, which is telling to me in some ways, and yet again, this asshole is to arrogant to listen to anyone. I am surprised he even has an attorney! I hope and pray they find this mother, sister, daughter, and friend! Pretty shocking, to say the least, that they have not yet found anything substantial enough to incarcerate this monster (I know, innocent until proven guilty). If he is 'innocent', I will bow-down here and take the punches!

I was so thankful that Cutts was found guilty! I had a feeling that the jury actually reached the decision on the 14th, but wanted to "sleep on it" before taking a final vote. I am happy that he won't ever be out in the general public again, even if he doesn't get the death penalty.

Somewhere I am sure Jessie and Chloe know that earthly justice has been served.
