[Intolerant in NJ]

He murdered 2 children in Watertown (WAY up North). Was sentenced to - I'm not sure, I think it was 20 years. He served about 13 years and was released on parole...13 years for murdering two children...Philly TV tonight carried a story about a local pharmacist who was selling drugs illegally - he faces fines of up to $48 million and 1600 years in jail...our justice system certainly seems to have its priorities backwards and upside down sometimes......

Hopefully the authorities will find this creep and he will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This is Louisiana - IF he gets life he'll serve it at "The Farm" (Angola). Trust me - even hardened criminals have no use for child molesters/murderers -- He won't live to see parole.

"He served about 13 years and was released on parole ... " (for the murders of two little children). Groan! That is so terrible! And I could cite you even worse cases from England and Australia. The whole of society is guilty, that it lets these things happen. But who will listen? Because I take an interest in the Middle East, I get bulletins from a group monitoring human rights in Iran. They do speak on some important issues. But at one time, I got a notice asking people to protest about the latest round of death penalties. In one case, a man who killed his three children had been flogged before being stoned to death. The judge who sentenced him symbolically threw the first stone. (Well - he won't need to bother with a parole hearing, will he?) In another case, a man had been sentenced to death for adultery and incest, because he repeated raped his two teenage daughters. Instead of sending a protest against the death sentences, I felt like writing a letter of complaint that they hadn't been carried out sooner. Also, the Iranian judge who sentenced the child murderer should be sent on a world tour, to instruct his fellow judges on decision making. I guess I sound rather raving, but recently there was an English case where the parents murdered their children (stabbed and strangled) but walked free because it was impossible to apportion blame between them, and each blamed the other. They were both in the house at the time. I would send them both down.
