First, I don't approve of media covered trials. Second and most importantly, I think the death penalty should be reserved for serial killers and serial rapists, people who are repeat offenders and obviously incapable of contributing anything to life. The people who want her dead need to read the scripture which states "vengeance is thine lord"; it is not for us to decide..... killing her would be purely be stooping to vengeance and would bring no spiritual peace. Let her live.
