If he got a fair trial, I’m totally cool with this.

We need to start executing pedophiles before they murder.

For a moment there I thought the U.S. was coming to its sense and handing our capital punishment for a pedophile murdering a child. Fat chance. I see this was in INDIA.

[Mr. K]

I love that last bit of reasoning

That showing leniency does not hold any hope for an improvement in his behaviour- in fact according to past experience leniency made him worse every time.

[Cheetahcat]

In Vermont he would get time served.

Good for them.

The courts order should read, “To hang by the neck until death.”

I have no issue with what the Indian court is doing. Where’s the beef?

[SandRat]

Paedophile sent to gallows for 10-yr-old’s murder. Now that’s how to deal with Paedophiles.

[Wile E Coyote Genius]

I say if he got a fair trail then hang him at dawn!

Anthony Arick Swamy Joseph, alias Anil....

Appropriate alias.

[null and void]

It is wrong of me to wonder, but I can’t help but think the outcome might have been different if he were a Hindu, not a Catholic.

(I’m assuming he’s Catholic based on his name, and knowing another Indian with the same family name who, like many from his state, is Catholic)

Okay, my favorite part of that murder sentence is the fine. When you’re looking to put the guy up the rope, even for India, a $220 fine is adding insult to injury. And then he’s getting ten years at hard labor and (heh) a $22 fine for the sodomy. Let’s call the three years for disposing of the body an afterthought.

Hung for practicing traditional Islam...

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[GeronL]

all pedophiles should be executed

[swarthyguy]

Actually, rather speedy for Indian justice.
