As closing arguments begin in the Cheshire home invasion trial, it amazes me what suspect Joshua Komisarjevsky will do to avoid the death penalty. Maybe he should have thought of that before he killed three innocent women and nearly killed a fourth man.
Today his defense team (who wants to defend this guy) tried to delay the trial by saying Komisarjevsky had convicted suspect Steven Hayes tell him before the crime that he had written a woman in North Carolina bragging about killing 17 people in the northeast, and raping many others. For more, click here.
Clearly, this is just a stall tactic by a desperate man and a desperate defense team. Komisarjevsky was hoping the trial would be delayed while police wasted their time to see if these allegations were true. Plus, by doing this it would force the state the keep Komisarjevsky alive by having to testify against Hayes if further charges were brought.
I am glad the judge was smart enough to see through this stall tactic. Most people feel Komisarjevsky, along with Hayes, cannot be convicted fast enough and put to death. Once they both are... goodbye and good riddance!
