Millie Bianco, the victim's mother, said although she believed Matheney deserved to be executed, she had mixed feelings about Daniels' decision. "This is a man who washed dishes in my kitchen and who could be charming, who loved his dog," she told The Associated Press by telephone from her home in Lake Alfred, Fla. "At times your mind skips back to those parts. So it is hard."

It is hard alright, hard to understand some people!

Forget about him being charming, and think about the sustained cruelty to your daughter, and the agony and terror of her last moments as he beat her to death.
