BOSTON — The inmate accused of killing defrocked priest John Geoghan told his defense attorney yesterday that he wanted to avenge the more than 100 children who said Geoghan molested them, the lawyer's spokeswoman said.

Defense attorney John LaChance also is expected to explore an insanity defense for Joseph Druce, a convicted killer who is accused of strangling and stomping Geoghan to death in his Massachusetts prison cell Saturday, a spokeswoman for Mr. LaChance told Reuters news agency.

Druce's current sentence should be shortened for GOOD behavior!

Don't waste any tax dollars trying to convict him
for volunteering to be Geoghan's executioner. I can't
imagine any jury of 12 agreeing unanimously on a punishment.

Give the guy a medal and our thanks.

After all, how many people are sad that Jeffrey Dahlmer
served only a short stay in our penal system?

Works for me. The Lord moves in mysterious ways. If it takes a fruitcake Aryan Nation guy to take charge of this rapist's execution then so be it. He raped scores of boys from troubled families. A predator of the worst kind
