Cary Stayner willingly negotiated a confession for four killings while sharing pepperoni pizza and sodas with the FBI agents who caught him. He wanted three things, starting with a ``good-sized stack'' of child pornography photographs and videos.

The taped conversation, played in front of a jury for the first time, was among new evidence introduced Tuesday by Stayner's attorneys in the Yosemite killer's death penalty trial in San Jose.

During the Middle Ages, when witches were burned at the stake, (al la St. Joan) the executioner would attach little sacks of gun powder under their armpits. This charity would hasten the burning.

I say no gunpowder for this perp!

Can you imagine being the parents? Recall, if you will, that Cary's brother, Steven, was abducted by a man, and sexually abused for seven years. There was even a book and miniseries based on it, called "I Know my First Name is Steven". I've seen the miniseries. Cary is in it, and is portrayed as a regular older brother. Of course, this was well before his arrest.

It makes one wonder if Cary might have had something to do with his brother's abduction, given that both Cary and Parnell (the guy who abducted Steve) were into child pornography.

Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

Nobody talks about his infamous past anymore.

He's the older brother of Steven Stayner, the boy who was kidnapped as a child and then returned to parents many years later. It was the basis for the book, I Know My First Name Is Steven. Steven Stayner was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1989.

What a messed up life.

This guy needs three things:

A hole deep enough to bury him in up to his neck.

A can of honey to pour over his head with a thin trail leading to:

A large active anthill.

By introducing the evidence, Stayner's defense team hopes to convince a jury that Stayner was tricked into confessing before he had a chance to consult a lawyer.

I guess I wouldn't be good jury material. If I saw that, I'd be convinced the guy was guilty and forget about the stupid technicality.

That's what I figured. You know, I wonder how the family (and the murder victims) would have turned out if CARY had been the one abducted. It would have been a 'Minority Report'-like scenario where Cary would be punished by sodomization well before committing his crimes.

I can't go to prison for the rest of my life and be happy without seeing it.''

This perv thinks he should be able to be happy?

The sheer gall. The sheer, unmitigated f-ing GALL. He has his prosecutors over a barrel with technicalities and NGRI pleas and whatnot and he's playing it for all it's worth.

On that Missouri girl thread somebody made the comment that there are "devoids" who walk this earth with no trace of humanity in them-- hollow shells, sub-animals with no interest other than feeding their own voracious perverted appetites...

There are indeed.

"Moral flatliners" is another term for them. No sign of any honorable traits.
