I agree with Bart, he should be able to kill the murdering a**hat in any way he thinks is appropriate. The more painful, the better.

O M G, how horrific.

That poor child, that poor family. I can’t imagine the pain they’ve had all these years.

I hope one day they find peace.

I don’t know what else to say. It’s so sad.

With each appeal the family of the victim has the wound reopened over and over and over again. Always reliving it. Outsiders will remember the victim from the time they died and the crime. They don't know the life and story that existed before.

I once wrote a little to the Arizona Republic (that is still in the archives,of course) that stated while the convicted gets appeal upon appeal, what second chance does the person murdered get?

I speak from experience, since my dad's name is known by many first year law students. Because of what a wonderful person he was? No. Because his murderer took his case to the USSC. Who wants that legacy?

The death penalty does not work. Its not justice when a killer gets to use every legal tool at his disposal to thwart it. The families of murder victims deserve closure.

The perp:

[BuffaloJack]

in 1979 my cousin’s 8 year old daughter was abducted, raped and murdered by a 25 year old mechanic.
He was caught within a week, confessed his crime and announced that he enjoyed it so much that he would do it again if ever given the chance.
This creep was tried, convicted and sentenced to death in Tennessee. It took 25 years of appeals, postponements and stays of execution before he was finally put down. For my cousin, Charlotte, it was as if the state was punishing her for the entire 25 years.

I only read the head line that was more than enough. Doesn't matter if they carry out the DP, or if the prep goes to prison for a pittance of their plea bargained sentences.

Victim's families are given a life sentence of pain. THE PAIN FOR THE VICTIM'S FAMILY NEVER GOES AWAY. My Jeremy has been gone 21 years now and the pain is always in my heart.
