I fear I'vm becoming desensitized by too much reading about this kind of horror.
I hope the guy gets life without the possibility of parole, if that sentence exists in NM. Either that or a bullet in the head.
I mention "life" as preferable, only because this man evidently has a deformed conscience: did you notice he told his neighbor he was going out looking for a child to have sex with? I think they call it a "depraved-heart" crime when the criminal shows himself as inwardly monstrous as this man.
Life imprisonment would give him more time, maybe, (unless the other inmates promptly beat him to death) to re-form his de-formed mind. To deny that this is even possible, would be to deny that Jesus is Our Lord and Our God.
This depraved criminal needs to repent and atone for his most repulsive, cruel, hideous, inhuman crime. It is better to suffer here than hereafter.
If life-without-possibility-of-parole doesn't exist in NM, then I must say he needs to be shot.
May the Lord make the little Navajo girl glorious in His Kingdom.
I literally couldn’t be the judge in this case. I’d shoot the bastard dead myself from the bench.
I don’t know how the cops restrain themselves. I do notice he’s wearing a bulletproof vest in his mug shot. The cops probably put it on him for their own protection.
The crime occurred on Navajo tribal land and jurisdiction of major crimes is with the Feds who have the death penalty. If the Wikipedia citations are correct, there are ample offenses Begaye could be charged with that could incur the death penalty.

Happened on Navajo land, so it's federal jurisdiction (because of the nature of the crimes - we have two counts of kidnapping, one count of rape, and one count of murder), and there is the death penalty at the federal level. New Mexico no longer has the death penalty.
