Jury recommends death to ringleader of 'ninja' robbers
This article is about a man named Leonard Patrick Gonzalez Jr, getting sentenced to death, also known as the death penalty. He is 35 years old. This happened because he was stealthily leading a crew of men with disguises of ninjas and mask that would sneek into a home in Florida. He was found guilty of the murders of Byrd Billings & Melanie Billings. Also a robbery in the same place. The death penalty would be on December 19 but he would stay in jail until the day. I guess this is both sad for the Billings family and the Gonzalez family, but if I was part of the jury, i wouldnt give the death penalty for anyone because no matter how bad of a person i am , I wouldnt want anyone to kill me ! I would probably just make the person go to jail for their whole life and some punishments inside jail to, because people are people and mosst of the time they regret many things ! :)http://http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/10/29/florida.couple.slain.case/index.html
