Joseph Duncan doesn't plead for his life
Idaho Statesman ^ | 8/14/2008 | Patrick Orr

Posted on 08/14/2008 11:01:47 AM PDT by Domandred

Joseph Edward Duncan III is a sadistic, detail-oriented rapist and killer who went on a GPS-guided quest to abduct and rape children before he settled on a Coeur d'Alene family, U.S. Attorney Tom Moss told a federal jury Wednesday.

Duncan, who is representing himself at the sentencing hearing, told the jury that most of Moss' description of events was "fair and accurate." He also said he would testify "to clarify things."

-- SNIP --

The six-woman, nine-man jury (12 jurors and three alternates) mostly kept their composure as Moss detailed the grisly crimes against Dylan and Shasta. Some jurors wrinkled their faces during some of the more graphic parts of Moss' opening statement.

-- SNIP --

Shasta's ordeal ended in the early morning hours of July 2, 2005, at Denny's in Coeur d'Alene when she was recognized by a waitress, who called police.

Continuing coverage of the Duncan sentencing trial. I edited the excerpt for content instead of just picking the first three paragraphs. This article made me squeamish, and it came out of the newspaper.

Fair Warning: I would not have included some of the details mentioned in the article. Read if you want details on this case and as to why this cretin needs to be put down, don't read if it you have a weak heart and stomach.

If anyone ever deserved to be executed it’s Duncan, he’s a genuine degenerate.

Hanging is too good for this piece of slime (my apologies to slime). He deserves a very slow, painful, and lingering death.

i guess my only question is, The man pleaded guilty. Why has it taken three years to get to this point? His execution should be as bad as what he did to the little boy.

That was enough for me. This slime is "getting off" by reliving the crime in a public courtroom. In a fair and effective system, he would have been executed as soon as his guilty pleas was accepted by the court. This has little purpose beyond disgusting public titillation.

Appreciate it. Seriously. I read this story first thing this morning... I was immediately sick to my stomach.

Fair Warning: I would not have included some of the details mentioned in the article. Read if you want details on this case and as to why this cretin needs to be put down, don't read if it you have a weak heart and stomach.

I sometimes have issues with the way the death penalty is meted out, but at the end of the day, it exists because of animals like this.

Have there been any reports on how the little girl is doing now? Prayers for her healing and for those who care for her.

This whole think sickens me. I agree that he is only doing it to relive it. If they really feel they need to show the tape, they should make him leave so he can’t, man it is hard to say, “enjoy” it. Makes you want to go grab your kids and not let them go...

I agree. I actually held posting this for about four hours because I was debating whether posting would add to the spectacle. Decided to post with content edits and fair warning.

Unless something bizarre happens mid trial I can't see anything else "newsworthy" coming out of it until the sentence itself is handed down.

Lethal injection is WAY too humane. Drawn and Quartered would be far more appropriate for this MONSTER (that is, indeed, what he is).

Should have been something more like this:

He is arrested, charged, he pleads guilty, the take him out in front of the court house and hang him... Case Closed.

Duncan has also been linked to the murder of a young boy in Riverside County in 1997.

Yep I’m aware, but California can’t have him till we’re done with him...if that means California gets a corpse to put on trial so be it.

The sooner he's dead, the better, as far as I am concerned.

Have at it.

My point was that this guy has been at this for a long time.

There may be others.

Stoke the Hellfires.
