Make him wear a burka.

   

Let me see. The guy was arrested for murder. Had a shitload of tattoos already. Goes to jail, gets more, and very offending tattoos (paid by whom?). Now there is his trial. The jury cannot see those new tattoos, because they MAY offend them and have their judgement based on that...

You know, if you are so proud of your new tattoos, show them to the world. If that costs you your life, that is your probem. You could have NOT have that swastika tattooed on your neck before your trial, right?

Covering it up is not doing justice.

   

What is bad is this may set a legal precident that might effect trials in the future. Why should the state pay for this for a slime ball?

WHat the judge might have ruled is to allow medical bandages to used to cover the tatoos. It would look ugly, but it would fulfil what the judge wanted without sticking the state with a $150 a day bill.

   

Why cover tattoos in the first place? They show the true guy, right?

   

I do agree about the bandages, btw Cover the swastika with a bandage, but only the tattoo, not the skin around

(swastika bandage )

   

If you're butt-ugly, can you get a makeover before your trial too.
Because the jury can have a negative opinion if they get sick just looking at you.

   

I take it the victims they brutally scarred will get a make over too, to make them look good again, because the jury might think something really bad happened to them.

   

One victim did if the service was open casket.

   

$150 a day for a makeover? How much is a supply of paper bags worth????

   

Well, if we take into consideration that criminals convicted and sentenced to death will try many (many) appeals, and that he could possibly plead that the tatoos he has may have had an influence on the verdict, he could then possibly win an appeal based on it. Like it says in the article, the judge could've make his decision in that matter, as to try and limit the possible questions raised by a verdict.

Although I agree that if the tatoos are hidden to ensure him a better defence, I do think it's wrong and makes no sense; but it might be possibly just the other way around, to ensure the state limited "liability" in the verdict (not sure if I chose the right word).

And 150$/day is really not expensive compared to the overall cost of such a trial.

   

It is ONLY the tattoos he got in jail. While being locked up for the crime he is on trial for now. Why did anyone let it happen?

   

I'm told one of his victims funeral was an open casket, this jerk should be buried in a closed casket the sooner the better.

   

I read somewhere that that sniper who got executed not too long ago got a funeral. I never really thought about that, that they get that. Why? Why can't they just be dumped as medical waste?

   

Because, unlike medical waste, they never served any useful purpose in life and who'd want to contaminate medical waste anyway?
