Yeah, isn't it lovely? The taxpayers get to pay for this piece of worthless slime to live in prison until he dies. Too bad they didn't have the death penalty then, but why not amend it so he can die? :roll:

I wanted to puke when I read he was "attracted" to little Josey. She was 11.

It's not that he doesn't deserve to. It's that his crimes were committed before the death penalty was re-instated in Kansas. Therefore, his crimes were not "eligible" for that sentence. At least, that's how I understand it.

That's correct duckie.

Of course the victims' relatives see it the way I do.

"This man needs to be thrown in a deep, dark hole and left to rot,"
"He should never, ever see the light of day."

Rest assured that the "general population" will introduce him to all the "niceties" of social graces for which "stir" is known...I don't expect him to live very long. :grrr:

I suspect he'll go the way fop Jeffrey Dahmer anyway. He'll be offed by a fellow inmate within a few years. It's cheaper and faster than a capital trial this way.

As a pro-lifer to almost all extremes (abortion, capital punishment, euthanasia, etc), I'll give you *my* side of the that argument.

It's not that I think he still has the right to live. I agree that he deserves to be punished. However, somehow we need to learn from and about people like him BEFORE the next body shows up and the next new serial killer/child molestor/rapist/teen rage killer ends up on the front page. If there was a way to understand those types of behavior and recognize them in the early stages before a crime is actually committed, there will be fewer graves, fewer news stories, and fewer court trials.

I'd like to see the day when people can recognize those traits in themselves or others and get help before they act on those impulses.

It's a long shot...but it might be possible.

But please, don't think that I think he doesn't deserve ANY type of punishment. I think he should be made to participate in in-prison studies with others who commit crimes like his so that psychologists can study what triggers thoughts and fantasies like he had. And I think the prisons ought to be refurbished into factories and they should be made to work and contribute (from the inside) to the outside world. Maybe if they did the work instead of us paying cheap illegal immigrants, it would pay for their time in prison and the products would still be inexpensive because we wouldn't have to pay for the labor to make them.
