Not a mistake. Jasper County jurors will make sure these two get what they deserve - what the law will allow anyway. Turning them over to the family and friends would be the only way they would actually get what they deserve.

Eh... it's opening things up for a super-easy appeal and retrial. Might as well get it over with properly... with a change of venue. This is how you learn who the stupid judges are.
