Too bad it took so long to kill him.

He put the victims in the trunk and set the car on fire, burning them alive.

how cruel and heartless humans can be...if he did this at 17 imagine what he would have done if he never was caught....

May God have mercy on his soul....maybe he accepted Jesus towards the end, who knows....

Obviously before SCOTUS, in its infinite wisdom, decreed that juvenile criminals, no matter how heinous the crime could not be executed, or even sentenced to life without parole.

Great news. Thanks for posting. Can we charge any family members for the food he ate, the O2 he wasted?

A robbery gone bad? That’s one thing. This appears to have been some seriously sick stuff, with thought.
