Hey, I'm willing to admit I'm out there on the fringe here. And I do think it's a reasonable response to say I'm all wet. I'm just saying what I think about it. And I'd agree that it will never happen.

Many neighbors and friends of the van Dams also would have same indirect cicumstantial evidence. It is like Westerfield was just picked at random, given what the DA has presented against him. He is no more proven guilty than any one picked from a hat among a a few dozen other neighbors and friends.

If anything, the trial so far has shown him most likely to be innocent, rather than demonstrating proof beyond a reasonable doubt that he is guilty.

Now the media spin is a different story. There Westerfield has been convicted and hung.

Your choice.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the family of the the victim to be be able to decide the punishment? Why the hell not? In my mind, the only justice in the world is for the father of this little girl to be able to take the scumbag out in any way he feels is right.

His comments were lame, tattle-telling is infinitely lamer.

"Want to bet the very same sentiments are being expressed at demcom."

I don't know about that, but this issue isn't even in the breaking news topics at the DU although Bush's vacation plans are. Unbelievable.

Sorry, I don't respond to well to people that insist whites only have white children. And a death threat was uncalled for.

Sorry, Fres, that just goes into a mess and nothing of value comes up, after a lot of waiting. The entire transcript is already posted directly to this thread back about #600 I would say.

In most states, the defense must demonstrate that the defendant was so impaired they could not distinguish between right and wrong when they committed the "act."

In my mind, there is only one proof of that: did the person behave thusly. Let's take this case, for example. How would somebody who did not know right from wrong act? I suppose the man have just walked up to Samantha, had his way with her, then killed her - right where she was, in front of her house for everybody to see. He would not lure her into the car, go somewhere secretly and commit the crime. Doing so would demonstrate that he knows what he is doing would be thwarted because he knows that every body else knows it's wrong. Insanity should be hard to prove.

...it is all media hype.

And God didn't make little green apples, and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime. There's no such thing as Dr. Suess, Disneyland or Mother Goose...no nursery rhymes.

According to the statistics.....if there isn't a child molester in your house.....there is one on your block. They were always there, but until now, they had to reign in their twisted sex drives. In the past...the whole community would descend on them and leave them a bloody pulp. Nowdays.....they get "counseling" and a few months in a prison with HBO. Time to turn back the clock!

Illbay, I've never been one to advocate inhumane treatment myself, although I do support the death penalty. But if there ever were a case where a guy should be kneecapped, castr--ed and left in the desert for the buzzards, this guy's the one.

I agree, that is the first thought of even the most God-fearing. But when reason kicks in, you realize that you just CANNOT leap into the abyss, where creeps like this wallow.

This guy was willing to send a message. "I don't care that you might catch me. I can take it." Okay, then let's dish out something the guy can't take.

Yes. But in reality no matter how "tough" this gesture might seem, this guy is a craven, lily-livered coward.

Wow, how impressive, to kidnap, rape and murder a child!

People like this, decades in prison where other prisoners might get at them from time to time to exact a little "exercise yard justice"--talk about hell on Earth.

Jeffrey Dahmer actually lucked out.

I'm sick to death of these acts on children.

You and me both, brother.
