30 y/o Creep, Brendt Christensen was SPARED the Death Penalty and was instead sentenced to LIFE in prison for the horrific kidnapping and murder of 26 y/o Scholar, YingYing Zhang much to the disappointment and anger from the Zhang family after they publicly begged for the killer to reveal where her remains her so they can be returned home..but he STILL REFUSES to do so!!

They deliberated for the second day after clashing on whether they should give him the death penalty..but they DEADLOCKED on the vote and it automatically resulted with life behind bars without possibility of parole.

The same jurors took less than 90 minutes to convict him for the abduction, raping, choking, beating and decapitation as prosecutors called for the death penalty but a jury had to be unanimous.

Brendt lowered his head and then turned around and SMILED to his mother and father as they sighed in relief that their son will not die..

Zhang's family said in a statement they did not agree with it as Ronggao Zhang appealed to Christensen on revealing where her body is so they can take her back to China and said "If you have any humanity left in your soul, please end our torment. Please let us bring YingYing home"

US Attorney, John Milhiser said efforts to find her remains will continue as Lifeng Ye, the mother sobbed uncontrollably. Her poignant testimony on how the family was devastated over the loss of their daughter who aspired to be a professor and help her working class family financially which was the main reason for her coming to America. She said "How am i supposed to carry on living? I really don't know how to carry on" YingYing also was to MARRY her boyfriend who lived back in China as they planning on having a family. Her boyfriend, Xiaolin Hou testified that their family's only hope was to have her body found so they can bury her but Christensen smirked and REFUSED to tell them

Michael Christensen, begged the jurors not to execute his only son prompting it is "unbearable" as he broke down crying..that testimony may have been the deciding factor in some of the juror's decision.

The defense tried to HUMANIZE him by showing HOME VIDEOS of him playing the PIANO and him opening up christmas presents and said he was man "gone mad" who was in the prestigious doctoral program in physics. His sister Andrea said her brother was a ROLE MODEL who was never aggressive but a "gentle person"

Those characteristics were a far cry from the man described in court as Brendt had dreams of being an anonymous SERIAL KILLER and wanted to kill someone that day..he tried to murder another girl by luring her into his car but she refused..until he found YingYing who was on her way to sign a lease. The 6' muscular Brendt forced a 5'4 Zhang into his apartment where he began raping her and choked her. He then beat her with a baseball bat and decapitated her and did not reveal what he did with the body.

His gf was brave enough to wear a wire after approached by the FBI to bust him..He revealed to her that he would never kill her even though he THOUGHT of it but said she was TOO HEAVY..he went on vigils and searches for YingYing all while knowing what he did..

He's had homicidal fantasies for months as he posted on the Dark Web his dream of being the next killer..

He will now die in Prison without a chance of Parole.

Do you think the Jury made the right decision?

Wow

Not only letting a jury decide the punishment, but requiring a unanimous vote like with the verdict of guilty itself?

WTF? The parents wanted him to get the death penalty, why didn't the jury honor the family's wishes?

He never even revealed where he left her body, like as a plea deal. WTF?!

That shit shouldn't even matter. Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy were pretty charming gents too, apparently. So fucking what?
I honestly don't know how the victim's family could tolerate listening to these bastards praising the murderer like that.

They decided him guilty right?

Is the actual sentencing not the job of the judge?

...it always has to be unanimous. That's how jury trials work in the US.

Because we live in a civilized society? And letting the victim's family decide the punishment like that is some ancient world barbarism?

...because he either wasn't offered or didn't takea plea, it went to trial. If he plead out, one of the terms almost certainly would have been revealing where the body was.

I believe he didn't want to reveal the location of the body because it could potentially be used as evidence that he raped or tortured her, which would then lead to a death penalty.

Which seems in its own way like an admission of guilt, but whatever.

To determine guilt or innocence.

The punishment itself should be decided by the judge, but barring that, giving the offender the lowest sentence the entire jury could agree to is ridiculous.

Even if that is the case:

1. Why should he then be rewarded for his actions with the lesser sentence? What murderer would ever say where the body could be found if withholding that information results in a guaranteed lesser sentence? He was already up for the death penalty potentially. If you think he's keeping the body's location a secret b/c it's that bad, all the more reason to throw the fucking book at the monster.

2. Even after the sentencing was over and he was no longer at risk of being sentenced to death, he wouldn't reveal the location. Perhaps he's just an incredibly evil person, and the jury fucked this one up?

I was just surmising based on what I'd heard about the case.

On a personal level, I don't approve of the death penalty, and I don't really give a shit if a murderer gets thrown in prison or killed.

But in this specific instance given the options available, I don't know why he would be given the lesser sentence. I can only imagine it had to do with the jurors personal feelings on the death penalty, even though that technically shouldn't matter.

I agree that it doesn't make sense but this appears to be what happened.

Will he be in prison till he dies though? I mean from what little I know life in prison just means a 20 year sentence. Personally I'm against the death penalty because I don't like the government having the power to execute people. So I'm fine with this monster serving life as long as it actually means he'll spend the rest of his life in prison.
