“He has earnestly devoted himself to self-improvement, contemplation, and prayer, and has grown into a mature, peaceful, kind, loving, and deeply religious adult. He acknowledges his responsibility for his crimes and has sought to atone for them and to seek redemption through his actions”

All on the tax payer dime for 23 years.

Monster.

Problem is Justice in our imperfect system is not swift and sure.
If it were, many lives of innocents may be saved.
The other problem is the prosecutors can’t be held responsible so they are reckless.

Yeah no wonder we have an out of control national debt. How much did it cost to keep this POS alive for these 23 years? Now consider all these illegals that are going to be murderers. We going to keep them alive for 20+ years too?

It’s real easy to stay on the straight and narrow when you’re in prison. The opportunities to kidnap rap and murder teenagers is extremely limited. He got what he deserved, just 23 years late.

I can only pray that he spent those (too) many years “in peace and repentance”.

I wonder what it was that this Dr. Grippon said, not mentioned in the article. Just the mention of that kind of pops up.

That guy died a lot easier than the girl did.

Visitors bleachers for the witnesses to watch ‘em ride the lightning.

Just don’t get them mixed-up!

I appreciate his words of repentance. It is much better than the ugly or in denial things we sometimes see.

That said I feel like if i had done this I’d have taken my punishment and not fought it. Maybe that is easier said than done. But that’s what I think.

I’m still not sure if he should rot in prison or have a quick execution. Although the cost of maintaining people like him with free room and board is an argument for a quick execution.

That is why the death penalty “doesn’t work”. No one even remembers the case. If it was 23 months people would think, I I remember that, crap, that’s what will happen if I do that.

It’s a scam, the lawyers make more money the more it’s delayed. The same thing will happen to those two scumbags from Venezuela that raped and killed the 12 year old.

The last sentence of the article speaks of Oklahoma waiting 40 years to execute someone for raping a child. What was that Trump said about quick trial, death penalty?

Might you be a fan of Babylon 5? Garibaldi said the exact same thing on an episode of that.
