I’m sorry, but I don’t believe that prisoners should be killed or abused in prison. When he is convicted of murder in Peru, he should serve his sentence or be put to death humanely if that is the verdict. I think it is sick for anyone to desire rape, torture or a horrifying manner of death for another human being, even if they deserve it.

Yes, at the risk of sounding like a bleeding heart liberal, we should live under the rule of law, and prisons should not be places were inmates get to rape and kill each other. In addition, fantasising torture upon another human being degrades the soul of the person doing it. I would say on the other hand however, define executing someone 'humanely'. I don't think condemned should be brutally tortured to death, but putting them down like a sick dog ignores the fact that execution is a punishment as well as a means of removing them from society. Hanging them kills them instantly, but it also gives them a few seconds whilest they're standing on that trapdoor to contemplate on the gravity of their crimes and the punishment they are about to receive...

"Why would a former SPANISH possession have a "Napoleonic Code" legal system?? (I'm from Louisiana, which "does" have a "Napoleonic Code" system)."

That's a good question. The answer is because Napoleon occupied Spain, and left behind the Napoleonic Code which then spread to Spain's former possessions.

He is a citizen of the Netherlands and they could intercide.

I doubt it, Spain’s control over its colonies following the French takeover was loosened and collapsed within a few years of the Napoleonic Wars, certainly not enough control or time to instigate a major legal reform throughout the entire Empire, assuming Spain’s reactionary monarchy would have wanted to do such a thing. Many of Spain’s former colonies were influenced by Napoleon’s Code after independence however...

[Munz]

Hope he suffers first

[Blue Highway]

Is it van der SLOOT (think snoop) or van der SLOTE (think slope)? Initially everyone called him van der Sloot, now after he’s been in jail I hear them saying it differently van der slote. Come on what gives?

His father died in February of this year. He dropped dead.

[Eddie01]

Either way he’s gonna be ‘satisfying’ the other nine before someone sticks him in the temple twelve times with a 4” shive.

He may not die right away.

beautiful.

Justice needs to be served up to Deepak and the other lowlife who assisted this punk in killing the high school girl. And the Aruba judges who let him walk.

"The answer is because Napoleon occupied Spain, and left behind the Napoleonic Code which then spread to Spain's former possessions."

Hmmm. I knew there was a connection to Mexico, but wasn't aware that Napoleon was in power long enough for his law changes to affect the whole Spanish Empire.

It probably wasn’t a coincidence the guy in the next cell is a hit man.

Amnesty International is still out there, he knows where the Holloway girl is, so he still has bargaining chips if he moves fast.

If he moves fast enough, I bet we hear about many more young women he's killed throughout the years.

Daddy died of a heart attack on the tennis court back in Feb. Mama holds the purse strings now and she’s not very happy with the bad seed.

Audrey II?

[magslinger]

LOL! Nice thought. It is a corpse flower.

[driftdiver]

Smells like sumtin died.

[Dem Guard]

Whittle him up for body part donations, piece by piece. When he gets down to 49% shoot him for trying to escape. ;-)

[ladyjane]

I just hope he lives long enough to get married

LOL That is so bad.

Why am I here reading stuff like this? okay, I'm addicted.

His father is dead.
