The story also confirms what I'd guessed from the victims's picture: she was mentally disabled.

From the Washington Post story:

Stepfather Bobby Murphy, 62, of Mount Pleasant, told The Associated Press that the victim had the mental abilities of a 12- to 14-year-old.

Murphy said he was the last family member to see Daugherty alive, on Monday, when he took her to get on a bus to Greensburg. She had both a dentist and a counselor there who helped her with a mental disability, he said. Murphy said he's not sure which one Daugherty had an appointment with, but later that day, she called home and asked permission to spend the night at "Peggy's" house. Murphy said his stepdaughter planned to return home Tuesday.

Daugherty had become involved in a community center in Greensburg where she met several people whose names she mentioned as friends, Murphy said - including several whose first names share those of some of the suspects.

"I don't know 'em personally, but Jennifer mentioned some of their names as being her friends - but evidently not," he said.

I really don’t know, as all I have for input are the medias themselves. Unless I witness something, I have to take another’s word for it. My original comment was directed at FR, not the poor woman or the animals that did that to her. But it did show, that even here on FR, people pretty much hear/read what they want, not necessarily what is said.

Yes. I just heard it on the local news. Pennsylvania has the death penalty, but there is outside pressure by the ACLU and others to do away with it. I would like to be on the jury for this one. I am due for a call up.

Based on the known facts of the case, you should really have admin pull your post.

Sounds like they wanted to experiment with torturing and kililng someone, and they picked her as an easy mark. I’m with the freeper who wants them crucified.

The picture of Ms Daugherty at the link is one of a quiet, gentle spirit. Why on earth would these savages target someone like this?

We human beings tend to forget that we are animals first. In the animal world the weakest, least defensive animal becomes a target by predators. The reality is that without the Lord God we are all just animals.

I hope that none of these evil beasts have any children. They all need to be taken out of the gene pool.

the only “motive” for that kind of crime is to exercise evil. What kind of “motive” would you accept for this kind of brutality?

Well, if she had done the same thing to one of their little sisters or something, then I could see it. But I’m not expecting their motive to anything other than simple sadism, and I’m perfectly willing to see them hung upside down and slow roasted.

Wow, what a lovely group of people. My first reaction after reading what they did to this mentally disabled woman was to have them taken to the town square and burnt alive.

Okay, how about this. We find some distant deserted island, let’s say in the South Pacific and put all our convicted crimials there. Give them nothing, zero, nothing to sustain themselves. Let them fend for themselves.

An island? You're too kind. Take them 100 miles offshore and put them over the side without life vests.

Okay.

At least we’ll have considerable savings in the transportation getting them 100 miles offshore. : )

i don’t know what the connection is, that is one damn weird profile of people you usually wouldn’t expect to hang together. although they all look seriously drugged out.
