A min of 60 years. This works.
The first thoughtful answer I ever got to that question and wasn't loaded with Oprah-speak or accusations against me... Thanks.
Well put.
She had a duty to shoot the bastard in the head the first time he touched her children. Even the lowest form of vermin will protect their young.
You can't spot a psycho the second you meet one either. You just think you can.
He's correct, which is why we backed off on kidnapping as a capital offense. Once you made the act of kidnapping a capital crime, the kidnapper had no reason at all to not kill the victim.
Does BTK ring a bell?
This is a story I read the other day that really disturbed me.

What is missing from the story is that the mother finally went to the authorities for help and that is when the husband followed through on his threat to kill them.
By the way, Judith Barsi was the voice of Ducky in "The Land Before Time".
death penalty for ALL child molesters .......first offence ..........no exceptions .....no appeals!!!!!!!!!!!!
You overstate the case. The incentive not to kill the victim is reduced, but to say "no reason at all" is wrong.
In the case of rape, the probability of being convicted of rape+murder due to the extra police interest and evidence (dead body) is higher then being convicted of rape where there is no strong physical proof that a crime even occured (no dead body, he said she said, etc.)
And yet if she were Canadian, she'd be out in 12 years. We have a mass murdering sexual predator of a similar disposition living free in Montreal right now with her little dog, after 12 years behind bars.
Canada does not believe that any sex crime against a child is serious. They actually give most perps house arrest.
What does it take to EARN capital punishment?
In my book they shouldn't be breathing NOW.
"Death is to merciful a punishment for them."
BULL!
Stop that self righteous crap!
Give em capital punishment, save taxpayers money and let them get a head start for eternity in hell.
And YOU get to PAY for them!
My method is to assume that everyone is psychotic, and I'm not exagerating... I keep very few friends.
You know, I thought my Mom had issues while I was growning up.
I think I came out pretty good. Stuff like this reminds me it could have been a whole lot worse..
I do feel sorry for her since she'd clearly beeen driven past the point of rational thought but there are some crimes that are unforgiveable. This is one.
Which is worse, being violated like this by your father, or having your mother not only stand by and do nothing, but facilitate the assualt? To me, this is the worst sort of atrocity: betrayal at the hands of those who are to nurture and protect.

Everyone is psychotic. At least that's what the voices in my head keep telling me.
