...this is a general all purpose message, and should not be seen as targeted at any individual I am responding to...
He’ll be out on parole after 400.
Put him in a small, cold dark place and see how he likes it..scum of the earth
Prosecutors would rather go after people they can “Nifong” like the Duke lacrosse team or George Zimmerman.
A known rapist, kidnapper, and murder gets off easy.
Hopefully he will be Dahmerized.
I would have made sure he gets put into general population
‘life’ in prison would be about 6 months, max.
Should have gotten the Death Penalty for sure, but, we don't wanna have to argue the "life begins at Conception" issue in the Courts.
Another life-long burden on Taxpayers to fund this incarceration, with cable TV, Internet Access, food, shelter, etc., etc.
We could save Millions for Taxpayers if ALL prisoners on Death Row were executed immediately, free up needed prison space, AND, eliminate Repeat Offenders.
Unfortunately, the bilking of Taxpayers to pay the Lawyers to Argue for 20 years in Courts on useless/baseless Appeals is not gonna happen in YOUR lifetime.....follow the money.
OK, I’d like somebody to explain to me how in the world can someone admit guilt, so he can escape the ultimate penalty...
Under Ohio law, he’s a murderer.
In ohio, is the punishment for murder the death penalty?
Give the victims’ families a rope and be done with it.
What's my point? I don't know if Ariel Castro killed some women and caused miscarriages earlier, but at least he kept the three women alive and by all accounts took good care of his daughter. There are probably other predators out there holding women. Cleveland can't even figure out which women are missing and which ones moved elsewhere. The message that has to be sent is that a predator will be better off letting any women captives he has free. Unless that's the case, there's no incentive to not kill the victims.
I don’t care how cozy the confines of a prison these days. It’d go nuts cooped up.
Rather they just shoot me and be done with it.
There should be some option that refuses these people the right to plead “not guilty”. He was caught red-handed. Now he has agreed to life+1000. Does that say he actually thought he was “not guilty”? To me it says he didn’t believe that plea of his for a second. He knew. He knew we knew. He knew it was insurmountable. Yet he had the audacity to stand in court and say “not guilty”.
They need pleas of: innocent, not guilty, I’m-gonna-try-to-beat-it, it’s hopeless, and guilty as sin.
He won’t live to see 5 years in prison.
Not that I condone such things, but I have feeling this guy is gonna learn first-hand what’s like to be locked up somewhere and used as a sex toy by others.
I’m thinking that since one indictment is kidnapping and that’s federal he could be sent to a Super Max like in Colorado(?).

He’s playing to every prosecutor’s weakness: Fear of going to trial. The deal - some version of it - will fly, and judge, prosecutor and defense will all claim a victory.
Plea bargains were devised to please the courtroom triumvirate noted above, and the victim, as well as the people, completely shut out, because, in reality, they don’t count as far as those three are concerned. Empty dockets and win/loss records are all that matter.
The system is corrupt. How many times have you heard of plea bargains where the criminal (oops, alleged criminal) pleads guilty to a ‘lesser charge’ which is not even the crime he committed, just something from the books that “sorta fits”.
We accept this corruption by saying “good” in such cases, by approving this dirty deal, because of the costs, the length of the trial followed by the length of time it takes to bring the case to trial, the endless appeals, all things that in a better system should not happen, and would never happen in the Wild West.
