Seems like Florida has a set precedent where child killers are concerned. This seems to be a fairly straight forward case. Premeditated murder, aggravating circumstances (sexual assault, kidnapping) and he confessed. Now with the circumstances of her death coming to light - this seems the perfect case to impose a death penalty.

Jak, we tried your way and its not working.
Child Molestors and repeat offenders are being let out on the streets to kill and molest again and again and again.
How many kids will die or be assaulted before you realize...something has to change! Sometimes your first instincts (KILL EM) are the ones you need to listen to....God gave you those powerful instincts for a reason my friend.
USE EM!!!

Pathetically transparent.

I merely pointed out that in the quest for justice blind rage and vengance were not perhaps the best accomplices.
A fact that, when not drowned in a sea of pathetically shallow attempts at heart string pulling worth of only red-top tabloid news papers, I would have thought blatantly obvious to even the most misguided.
On tax dollars, from what I have heard, it costs more to execute someone rather than imprison them for life, because of all the appeals in the process and the special attention.

Heart string pulling? I hope I'm misunderstanding you here, but it seems as if you are saying somebody has to make an attempt to pull heart strings in a case that does a perfectly good job at pulling them with the facts alone.

Jak, no need to get all bent-outta-shape.
Im not trying to insult you, but your post was about as clear as oatmeal
Making decisions while having your mind clouded by anger is not a good idea,
let alone being held accountable for making a just and balanced one.

t's not just a quest for justice, it's also a quest to deter other extremely perverted individuals from repeating these crimes

If someone is convicted without any doubt 100% then why bother with appeals and trails
It should be an automatic lynching for this sort of crime.

And if the Jury is thinking rationally and competently, then they will realize that it doesn't matter. If they have to rely on instinct and rage, well, those things are dulled sitting in a jury box and un sequestering.

I still want to know what makes these child predators have to kill their victims. It must be something psychological.

You are misunderstanding, that was my exact point. Such a case needs no emotion card played
Originally posted by Indy The tougher we make the laws on this the more likely it will be that the kid will get killed.

he said otherwise, that he would do it eventually because he kept being released and he feared for other children because he couldnt stop himself.

Anyone who can do what this pig did is not going to be thinking rationally about 'what if i get the death penalty'.
