Quotes about the death sentence for Rodriguez
I believe the verdict is just in this case, and my thoughts and prayers, and the thoughts and prayers of all North Dakotans, are with the Sjodin family.

John Hoeven

North Dakota governor

Responding to this senseless act of violence with another act of violence through imposition of the death penalty does not erase the hurt caused by the first act. Rather, it reinforces the false perspective of revenge of justice. In doing so, it diminishes respect for all human life, both the lives of the guilty and the innocent.

Samuel Aquila

Fargo Roman Catholic Bishop

While no decision will erase the pain of Drus loss, I commend the jurors on making a difficult, but appropriate, ruling. Justice is served by todays decision. We pray that Drus family and friends, who have been so affected by his heinous act, will find some closure in todays outcome.

Tim Pawlenty

Minnesota governor

We commend all of the law enforcement officials involved and, indeed, all of the judicial system involved in bringing Alfonso Rodriguez to justice. Our thoughts and prayers have been with the Sjodin and Walker families throughout this long ordeal that began nearly three years ago. We all admire the dignity and grace they have shown.

Charles Kupchella

University of North Dakota president
