During the time period covered in these news reports (summarized here), how many people of OTHER ancestry : Orientals, Blacks, Hungarians, Germans, etc. were charged with similar crimes ?

How about if you reseach that and then get back to us with the answer, ok? Also, make a note of how many of them were illegal aliens.

Yes it is. That Corslime could have put the death penalty to a vote here in NJ. I know many people who want it & are very angry it wasn’t allowed to be voted on. I hope we can get him out of office.

What a shame some people don’t consider any crime horrendous enough for the death penalty.......... Gov Corslime could have put the death penalty to a vote...... people are very angry it wasn’t allowed to be voted on.

Corslime is on his knees as we type-----sucking up to illegals----- handing out govt freebies including driver's licenses and in-state tuition to scum like this.

Dumb Dim has no conscience----he'll suckup to anything---as long as it can pull the lever to vote.

Why should a piece of trash like this be breathing?

The scumbag is not only breathing----but that look
of arrogance on his kisser is downright nauseating.

And, if I do, should I title it “European-Born Rapists on the Prowl” ??

How about : “People that look just like us on the prowl “ ??

Politicians are mentally unbalanced-----they can only "feel good" about themselves by throwing money around------pumping themselves up by buying the adoration of "the people."

Spendaholics like Corzine suffer from very low self-esteem----guy bought himself two public offices-----ingratiating himself by sucking up to hyphenates----spreading money around like manure, buying votes to the tune of $108 million.

Now Wall Street Jon's "return on investment" has been better than any Goldman Sachs deal.

Ever since Corzine got in, billions have disappeared from the Treasury. Billion dollar funds for transportation, schools construction, UI, have gone bankrupt. The pension fund is down $25 billion (and counting).

Jon's "return on investment" is paying off bigtime. Who knows? Several $$billion more and Jonny may even get his self-esteem back (snicker).

Obama has appointed the anti-life PORN PROTECTOR, David Ogden, to work in the Justice Department

What is wrong with you?

PORN is not the cause of someone being a rapist.

Millions upon millions of people look at porn, and they do not become rapists.

Who are YOU to decide porn is sick and the cause of a Honduran rapists behavior?

That is what you have implied. PORN PROTECTORS are sick people who become accessories to rapists.

I ask again, what is wrong with you?

Bush task force to assist aliens

Pedophile who murdered boy, 10, gets life term

Victim's sister makes an emotional appeal prior to sentencing

An illegal alien from Honduras was sentenced yesterday to life in prison without parole for the murder of a 10-year-old boy, whom he abducted from a Morristown park nearly eight years ago and beat to death with a gardening tool after trying to rape him. Porfirio Jimenez, 43, was sentenced in Superior Court in Morristown by Judge Salem Ahto to life in prison, plus 25 years, for the kidnapping and murder of Walter Contreras Valenzuela on May 20, 2001.  A former day laborer, Jimenez lured the Morristown boy from a park where he helped him feed cookies to ducks, and they ended up at a wooded area along the banks of the Whippany River. There, he first tried to rape the child, and then used a four-pronged metal garden cultivator to beat him to death to keep him from telling anyone. Jimenez was convicted by a jury last year.

At the sentencing, Jimenez professed his innocence, claimed he was railroaded and said his attorneys would not listen to him or let him speak during the trial. "An innocent person has been accused," Jimenez said through a Spanish-language interpreter, causing family members of the boy and others in the full courtroom to gasp in disbelief. "Since the trial has started, there has been racism. Everything is slander." However, Ahto told the killer, "Based on the jury's findings, my conclusion is you are a depraved, ferociously brutal pedophile who stands before me and shows absolutely no remorse."

After the attack, Jimenez left Walter to die. His death was not immediate, but was painful and torturous, as he eventually succumbed from brain swelling from repeated blows to his head. His body was found two days later and Jimenez was arrested on June 7, 2001, after a DNA sample linked him to the killing. During a victim-impact statement, Walter's parents, Rolando Valenzuela and Eleodora Contreras, flanked their daughter, 16-year-old Isamar Valenzuela, who was 9 years old at the time of the killing and was the last family member to see Walter alive. The family displayed a large, framed school portrait of Walter, who posed smiling broadly and wearing a necklace with a fish pendant. In an emotional statement seething with anger, Isamar spoke of her brother's love for the outdoors and wildlife, and "his big eyes" that "drank in the world" around him, and described Jimenez as a "monster" who took Walter's life and now haunts the family.

"What hurts the most is I can't remember his laugh. All my memories have his painful death attached to them," Isamar said. "A pure child tainted and hurt in ways that are unimaginable -- can a human being really have done this? Can this man be human?" Morris County Assistant Prosecutor John McNamara called Jimenez "evil" and sought the maximum sentence of life without parole, and a consecutive term on another charge. "This pustule of a man has to be removed from the corpus of the community," McNamara said. "Sentence him to all the law will allow."

Jimenez's attorney, public defender John Paul Velez, sought a sentence of 30 years to life with 30 years of parole ineligibility, and said he plans to appeal the sentence. Walter's death brought Morristown together at a time when tempers sometimes flared over the growth of the Hispanic population. At a press conference after the sentencing, Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi spoke of the dedication and efforts of law-enforcement authorities to capture the killer and secure a life sentence. The case was the fifth murder trial and conviction for the prosecutor's office in the past eight months. "There's no greater satisfaction than bringing this animal to justice," Bianchi said.

Jimenez, an illegal alien who has been in America 13 years, has an ex-wife and three children in Honduras. The judge noted Jimenez also had killed a fellow soldier while serving in the Honduran military. On the day of Walter's slaying, the boy left his Abbett Avenue house around noon and headed for the playground one block away, where he liked to fish, feed ducks and catch frogs. In his pocket was money his mother had given him to buy Chinese food before she headed to work as a hotel housekeeper. Jimenez had been hanging around the playground that evening drinking beer with friends, and was chased out twice by a police officer. Authorities believe Walter met him there. A witness said he saw them at a church carnival in Morris Township, about two miles from the park, at 8:15 p.m. They ended up at the river, where the boy was assaulted and tried to protect himself as Jimenez hit him repeatedly with the cultivator tool.

A jury of seven women and five men deliberated nine hours over two days before finding Jimenez guilty of murder, felony murder, aggravated sexual assault, kidnapping and a weapons charge. Abby Buccelli of Randolph, who was a juror in the trial, attended the sentencing "to support the family and for closure." "It's closure for me and maybe closure for the family," Buccelli said. "They can be at peace -- whatever kind of peace you can have" after such an ordeal.

Pornography is a moral evil. It can, for some people, be a stepping stone to larger evil. That’s the truth, whether you want to see that truth...or not.

Perhaps if justice is working this POS will get the Jeffery Dahmmer treatment not long after he arrives.
