Geoghan was an evil creep, but nobody deserves to die this way. I'll pray for his family...they've certainly suffered enough.

Surprised that he didn't get raped too in the process.

I disagree - he did deserve to die that way.

I think what he did is about the worst thing a person can do. He earned it.
To: hole_n_one
He then repeatedly jumped from the bed in the cell onto Geoghan's motionless body and beat the defrocked priest with his fists.Man - that's a workout! Guess all the Stairmasters were in use at the gym.

I agree with you - I can't summon up one ounce of sympathy for that evil, evil man.
To: hole_n_one
Geoghan may have deserve to die, but that should have been the State's decision. Unfortunately, Massachusetts has no death penalty. Geoghan's murderer will continue to serve his life sentence without any real punishment. Say what you will about California, at least we've a death penalty.

Now I understand the situation. As I understand, Massachusetts has no death penalty. The murderer here is already serving a life sentence. So, he has just committed a "free murder." He will be tried, convicted, and sent back to where he is.
Since this was both a "free murder" and a planned one -- rather than spur of the moment -- the immediate question is what the killer stood to gain. Does he have family or friends? Have they suddenly received some money? You see where this could be headed.

Doesn't sound very painful, they could have done better.

You have a death penalty, you just don't use it. That's much better. (/sarcasm)
To: hole_n_one
Sounds like he went too quick. He deserved worse.

By the actions of his attacker, I'm guessing that the attacker had been similarly abused (raped) as a child, and this was his way of "getting even."
If it was a professional "hit" as some aledge, the attacker wouldn't have jumped up and down on someone they knew that they had just strangled to death.

He needs help? What about me? I laugh at the thought of the depraved sick f--k being stomped to death. He molested over 100 boys. That is something they will all have to live with forever. I heard some reporterette refer to him as "Fatheer". What a silly b-tch. May he burn for eternity.
To: Congressman Billybob
Maybe he didn't like perverts who abuse boys. FYI, it is common knowledge that child molestors are not looked upon kindly by the average thug. Even thugs have a code of honor.

True, under Gray Davis there've only been 6 executions in the past four years, but that's six better than in Mass....
To: ItisaReligionofPeace
I laugh at the thought of the depraved sick f--k being stomped to death. How can you write such a thing? Yes, you need help too.
To: ItisaReligionofPeace
From the WP article......
"We may not ever find out why this happened, but it is not secret that [child molesters] are considered the lowest of the low in prison," said state Rep. Demetrius J. Atsalis (D). "They are considered targets."
