There is absolutely nothing I can add to the discussion that has not already been said a hundred times over. This disgusting pair should meet the nearest tree at the end of a rope. I cannot comment on the perp’s mother, but it seems as though she is complicit in the matter at some level. Does MO have a death penalty, and if so does it get used like TX and FL? There is no better example of its need and expeditious use than these two, and possibly three. I have’t heard of the whereabouts of the gir’ls real father, and what he may be doing, but as for me I would be planning a way to get these two to meet their final judge a lot sooner than they expect. Yes, I know, vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord, but there are some things so heinous that I could not help myself..............
Your feelings are shared by many, including myself.
Yes, we have a death penalty. A friend of mine (practically family, he spends most christmas’ and thanksgivings at our house), who used to be the states chief criminal prosecutor working for John Ashcroft when Ashcroft was our state AG, has sent more than 13 men to death row.. a number of whom have been executed. He now works as a special prosecutor, travelling around the state handling cases such as this. He is a brilliant prosecutor, and I am hoping that he gets handed this case. I have little doubt that if he is given this case, the men will get a date with a lethal needle. Defense attorneys hate him, and the Kansas City Star refers to him as “Doctor Death”.
Missouri is not quite as prompt as Texas and Florida when it comes to carrying out the executions, but it does not generally take 10 to 20 years either. I think the average is maybe 3 or 4 yrs... and sometimes faster than that.
Missouri has executed 66 men since 1989. And we currently have 45 men awaiting execution.
