The death penalty applies to 41 Federal Offenses:
http://deathpenalty.procon.org/view.reso...eID=004927
Several apply to the murder of Kelly Burkhardt:
Quote:5. Retaliatory murder of a member of the immediate family of law enforcement officialsYou may believe Hexenette was stupid enough to think Kenneth and his Verat thugs had only pure intentions while they loaded their guns but it she absolutely and irrefutably used Kelly's trust to betray her and lure her into the ambush, murder and decapitation. She directly participated in planning the murder of Kelly and her neighbors by providing details to Kenneth.
13. First-degree murder
20. Murder during a kidnapping
38. Murder involving torture
Kenneth's introduction of her to King Fredrick is particularly damning evidence:
Quote:Kenneth: May I present Miss Juliette Silverton, without whose help this would not have been possible. Juliette, this is King Frederick Von—Nick clearly knew she was the only one who could have betrayed Kelly:
Frederick: That's plenty. I cannot thank you enough. You will be well taken care of. A whole new life awaits you in Vienna. I've always had a soft spot for Hexenbiests.
Quote:Nick: She was set up, Hank. My mother was smart. There was no way she would have showed up if she didn't think she was safe, especially with the child.Even if Hexenette was a clueless imbecile she was clearly key to Kenneth's murder and decapitation of Kelly. She was an Accomplice in the murder, earning herself the death penalty. Unfortunately, Nick was unable to avenge his mother and Trubel had to kill Hexenette.
Hank: Why would she come here at all? You didn't contact her.
Nick: Somebody did, and the only way could have been from my computer.
Hank: So who had access?
Nick: Only me... and Juliette.
Hank: Kelly would have trusted her.
Nick: With her life.
Hank: I think maybe she did, Nick.
