A U.S. teenager who admitted stabbing, strangling and slitting the throat of a young neighbor girl wrote in her journal on the night of the killing that it was an "ahmazing" and "pretty enjoyable" experience -- then headed off to church with a laugh.
The words written by Alyssa Bustamante were read aloud in court Monday as part of a sentencing hearing to determine whether she should get life in prison or something less for the October 2009 murder of her neighbor, 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten, in Missouri.
Bustamante, 18, sat silently as law enforcement officers, attorneys and forensics experts read aloud the thoughts she had recorded as a 15-year-old.
A handwriting expert described how he was able to see through the blue ink that Bustamante had used in an attempt to cover up her original journal entry on the night of Elizabeth's murder. He read the entry aloud:
"I just f------ killed someone. I strangled them and slit their throat and stabbed them now they're dead. I don't know how to feel atm. It was ahmazing. As soon as you get over the 'ohmygawd I can't do this' feeling, it's pretty enjoyable. I'm kinda nervous and shaky though right now. Kay, I gotta go to church now...lol."

Her grandparents were respected members of the local Mormon Church, where the killer was very active in youth activities.
Mebbe so. But her mother and father were the beneficiaries of an enabling environment that didn't hold them directly responsible for their "mistakes".
As a society, we no longer penalize anti-social behavior, we actually reward it -- thereby encouraging its propagation.
The Bustamante girl did what she did because she thought she could get away with it.
That was a useful discussion, thanks.
A short rule of thumb is also that psychopaths are motivated, while sociopaths are merely opportunistic.
Think Hillary and Bill. Hillary is a psychopath - she's motivated, driven and obsessive like a shark. While Bill is entirely opportunistic, and lives off of the carnage of Hillary's constant depredations like a catfish eating what falls to the bottom.
Both, I believe are also sadistic. The psychopath is sadistic in that they equate making people suffer with success through dominating them and achieving their goals. The sociopath enjoys watching people suffer because they enjoy their own indifference to the suffering.
And both psychopathy and sociopathy have their roots in psychotically obsessive narcissism - they can't empathize because they refuse to empathize, as in refuse to the death. To them, empathy is for suckers, and life is nothing but war. They are reptilian - not mammalian - and that's why they're so hard to comprehend.
And when reptilians want to control creatures, they turn them into insects - which explains the government and corporate bureaucrat mindset.
Busy little bees and ants and roaches, run by lizards.
And if you join a secret society (take your pick), you too can be turned into a meat puppet for these energies.
But hey, you'll be popular! What a deal!
Maybe Romney will pardon her if he becomes the next POTUS.
We have tried lenient sentences for juveniles. They don't work, & this imperils society.
I also favor holding BOTH parents, custodial or not, criminally responsible for the actions of their children. If they are gonna have kids, they are responsible to civilize them.
I do not often side with society over individual rights, but in the case of violent perps, young or old, male or female, I believe the safety of society heavily outweighs the rights of a violent felon. IMO, a violent felon forfeits his rights forever the moment he/she commits an unlawful, violent act. A violent felon has no more rights than a rabid dog, & for exactly the same reason. Without humanity they aren't human.
The perp may not have deserved such a quick, painless and dignified ceremony. But it had the appropriate deterrent effect and administered proper justice blended with proper mercy.
And that was what was most important.
Point taken, and in this case very grudgingly agreed with, despite my post.
Civilization started to go downhill once we became squeamish about it.
Perhaps that's why it's so easy to dismiss your civilized (and correct) reminder of how to deal with these things - because civilized justiced has been raped for so long, that atrocities are being protected in the name of compassion, while childrens dead bodies lay blood in the dirt.
And I don't believe psychopaths "can't be reached." It's just a matter of being willing to speak their language.
Don’t care what gender or age. Psychopath murderers all just need to be executed when found. They are deadly to the rest of society at large.

Agreed. Rehabilitation is not possible.
It might have been environment, or it might have been the genetics of having a double dose of criminal genes.
I like a good laugh, but don’t you think humor is out of place on a thread that describes the brutal murder of a child?
Just don’t make her the beneficiary on your life insurance policy. There’s risky behavior and “adventure”, and then there’s “stupid”.
Partying with you and yours is on my Bucket List , , ,
Yeah, she’s a dream isn’t she?
I think you’ve found the perfect long-term punishment for her: Life with Laz. It’d likely be ruled cruel and inhumane, though. ;^)
“Bucket List” — as in, “kick the bucket”?
“Just shoot her.” Before she finds Islam in jail and gets paroled on that basis.
String her up.
According to a friend who is a PHD psychologist, the creation is during the most formative years of the child, the years between birth and approx. 6 or 7 years of age. It's all related to the lack of proper nurturing when they are infants and very young children.
True, but it's an explanation as to how this soulless child turned out the way she did. She can't be rehabilitated.
What's really scarey is the fact that there are literally tens of thousands of children being brought up under the same circumstances AND worse that are nothing more than ticking time bombs......
Excellent point and no offense taken. I don't presume to judge whether or not they can be reached.
All I can say is that there are certain crimes so heinous that it is beyond the ability of the smartest and most civilized of men to deal with them. In such cases, the only proper solution is to return them to their maker and let Jesus judge and deal with them.
Those who have really found Jesus don't fear meeting him.
I wonder if she was one of those sacred rape spawn?
