It was inevitable.

Stephen Barbee was sentenced to death for killing Lisa Underwood, her son Jayden Underwood and her unborn child a year ago.

The jury had to find him a threat to society and I suppose that’s exactly what happened.

Now, Stephen Barbee’s family blamed the outcome on the media coverage of the trial. I would suggest that they (members of Stephen’s family) practice a little compartmentalized thinking here.

"
To those who were sad and upset at the verdict, I would say, go ahead and love Stephen Barbee if you do but, also accept the fact that he is a murderer and that one way or the other, he is going to eventually die for this.
"

He confessed to what he did. I am not sure about exactly how you can swerve out of the way of a death sentence after you admit to killing a pregnant woman and a seven year old but that’s what usually happens when you do.

Regardless of the reason, (Stephen Barbee says that Lisa was going to blackmale him among other things but that’s heresy) there is no justification for it that is going to satisfy any jury.

The cool part is, if he got life on appeal (you get an automatic appeal if you get sentenced to death) the general population may very well kill him anyway. Even prisoners have standards. At least this way, he would get the violent death he deserves.

A year ago when this happened I wrote an article, stating that there are consequences to certain actions. If Lisa Underwood, me or anyone else messes with the wrong person, something bad may happen. A lot of people wrote in and commented. Well a lot has changed and what I wrote was based on what I knew at the time. Some of it may very well be incorrect. There are however a few facts that remain.

• Nobody will ever know what really happened that day. I would say that if I am going to admit to committing capital murder that I have nothing to gain by lying about anything else or why I did it. That’s me though.
• At one time, Lisa Underwood thought that Steven Barbee was a great guy. It’s a moderately safe assumption that she wouldn’t have dated him otherwise. Calling him all kinds of names, “The Devil”, or whatever runs contrary to what Lisa thought of him at one time.
• Lisa Underwood went whatever length of time she dated Stephen Barbee, a second length of time after they stopped seeing each other and six months being pregnant all without being killed by Stephen Barbee. Sorry folks that’s a fact. Something happened and that is undeniable. Keep reading the next point below.
• Something had to happen to set him off. The only explanation so far, is what Steven Barbee said happened. Short of a lie detector session we’ll never know.

I personally have no bias here. Just telling it the way I see it.

Kevin Rousseau, prosecutor said: “He got what he deserved.”

Amen to that.

Its going to take a while but one way or the other Steven Barbee will get his.
