Just because he is insane doesn’t mean he should not go under the train.

well at least we can hope that his first walk around (if he ever gets one) in the prison yard is his last one.media says he has allready received threats against his life from other prisoners.

Gee - ya think? So - what - now he’ll get 10 years instead of the maximum of 15? But yeah, lets hope he slips on a bar of soap in the prison shower.

I’d say MOST people who get caught doing this kind of atrocity are *Mentally Ill* but, IMO, that fact shouldn’t save them from just punishment.

Hang the bastard now!

to be realistic he will get between 15 and 20 years. if they are able to proof him that the baby which has died and was burned by him has not been born dead he will get lifelong (btw. lifelong in austria means only 25 years). but then i remeber that he is 73 so it will be enought this time. but in general we really need harder punishment for criminals.

I have no idea if you will get this post.

There seems to be an idea that a mentally ill person who commits heinous crimes should be not responsible. Now they may have not known what they were doing, or see it in a different light, BUT since they are capable of horror, they should be immediately killed. They cannot be trusted and have proven it.

B.S. He’s not normal. That doesn’t mean he’s criminally insane (didn’t know it was wrong at the time) or is unable to participate in defending himself. That he carried it off undiscovered for so long is proof positive that he knew the wrongness of his actions and possesses ample cleverness.

Well of course he’s insane! What sane person would think up a twisted plot like this?

I wish we could make a difference in our society between a person who has a simple mental disorder, such as being depressed, and a person who is criminally insane. Somebody who is a deranged murderer or rapist needs to be kept away from normal people, I don’t care what went wrong in their head to make them that way. Somebody who suffers from depression or something like that but doesn’t commit crimes or hurt anybody else needs loving support and shouldn’t be lumped together with crazed criminals.

He’s not sick—he’s evil.

Crazy Ludwig may have spread a lot of his seed around the Austrian countryside but that is not Fritzl’s excuse. Fritzl is the classic textbook version of a narcissistic sociopath. Very, very evil.

They should lock him in the cell, and bring him irregularly scheduled meals and a male visitor from SINGSING to keep him company on occasion.

That will keep him nice and safe-just like he kept his kids.

From article:"Elisabeth and the children are now in care with the Austrian authorities, who are protecting their privacy at a psychiatric clinic."

So now Rudolph Mayer wants Fritz put in a psychiatric unit? Geeez!

On another note. I have been wondering since Elizabeth was imprisoned for 24 years and her oldest child is 19, how did she keep from getting pregnant for 5 years.
