How many chances should Michael get?

 

Michael Jerome Marble was arrested for burglary of a habitation in 1981. He was arrested for burglary of a building in 1985. He was arrested for aggravated robbery in 1987, convicted of 3rd-degree robbery, and sentenced to life in prison.

 

He served that life sentence pretty quickly, because he was out of prison and on parole this past January when in broke into 60-year-old Roberta Moore's apartment in the complex where he lived. He tied her up and strangled her to death. Her television and her emerald ring were found in his apartment.

 

Roberta's sister said they knew Marble was the murderer as soon as they found out her sister was dead. She says that Roberta was a  Christian, and their last conversation was about the Lord. "So I do find comfort and peace in that," she said.

 

Roberta's sister hopes they find justice, and I do, too. Justice, in this case, is nothing short of the death penalty quickly administered. Then, Marble won't have another chance to kill other innocent people just to take their possessions.
