Forcing a jury to face the depravity of Duncan — through days of explicit testimony, and graphic video evidence showing Duncan's sexual abuse of Dylan Groene — serves no purpose in terms of justice. With no question as to Duncan's guilt, the sole question before jurors was the sentence: death or life in prison, without the possibility of parole. This does not justify subjecting 15 decent people (12 jurors and three alternates) to a traumatic experience they didn't deserve, any more than they deserve to be insulted by being referred to as Duncan's peers/Kevin Richert, Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: Do you agree or disagree with Opinion Editor Kevin Richert that justice wasn't served by the Duncan sentencing case?
