Jodi Arias faces a very real possibility that she will be sentenced to death for the murder of her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander. Jurors decided today after deliberating three hours that Arias' actions constituted "especially cruel" behavior. Death penalty cases require the jury to first determine if the crime was deliberately cruel and then to unanimously agree on life or death.

The prosecution was clear to mention not only the length of time Arias stabbed Alexander — about two minutes — but also that he believed Arias was aware of Alexander's suffering. Jodi Arias spoke last week after she was found guilty of first-degree murder and commented that she prefers to die. "I said years ago that I'd rather get death than life, and that

Kermit Gosnell received three life sentences for the murders he committed while he operated his gruesome abortion clinic in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Despite emotional statements from his victims' relatives and friends, Gosnell remained unemotional and offered no apology. Gosnell is already 72 years old and was found guilty of three counts of first-degree murder in the death of three infants who were murdered during late-term abortion procedures. Gosnell often attempted to terminate pregnancies at six months or later (24 weeks). While physicians disagree on the exact definition of late-term abortions, most consider anything after 16 to 20 weeks late-term. Almost all fetuses are viable — able to survive outside the womb — after 27 weeks. The AP reports that Gosnell's clinic was not certified in obstetrics or gynecology and offered no trained nurses or medical staff. Moreover, federal law enforcement uncovered "deplorable and unsanitary" conditions — we will not mention the details here. Victims'
