Prosecutors rested their capital murder case against Curtis Lavelle Vance, 29, after testimony from the state's deputy medical examiner, who spoke about Pressly's final moments of consciousness.

Vance, of Marianna, has pleaded not guilty to murder, rape and burglary. If convicted, he could face the death penalty. Dr. Stephen Erickson said an examination of Pressly's body after her death revealed that her face shattered "like an egg" during the attack.

“There are some crimes that scream out for bloody etribution”

NO, there are some crimes that demand the ultimate penalty, which is death. In our entire history we have administered the death penalty in a quick and dispassinate fashion, that is the way it should be. What you are advocating is revenge (which is full of fury and rage), not justice,

When I see this I see the Fort Hood killings.

Political correctness is killing us all very slowly.

I respect your opinion. However there must come a time to hoist the Black flag and begin slitting throats. We will just have to disagree on this.

The criminal is the epitome of evil and must be removed from the earth. There is no redemption, no rerhabilitation, just be gone.

When that time comes we will do more than disagree.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is what really happens when their is a violent blow to the face and head. Bones crush and shatter like an egg. Movie entertainment rarely shows the true extent of the damage done by a punch to the jaw or a blow to the skull.

This is the kind of murderous animal that the anti-death penalty crowd gets so excited about. This killer deserves no mercy and an expedited date for execution

How do you know he wasn’t teased? How do you know he wasn’t harassed because of his faith? I don’t think we should jump to any conclusions here.

"WE value human life"

You may wish to consider that there are some crimes so hideous, vicious, and some perpetrators so ruthless that they abandon their right to be called "human being".

This individual needs to be destroyed right down to his dna.

A lonely road, a bullet to the head and an unmarked grave.

There are places in Arkansas that the “authoritys” could take this creature, that God himself wouldn’t be able to find him with an radio telescope.

Yep, it was good enough for my great-grandfather (a sheriff known as Hickory Bill) it's good enough for me.
