December 19, 20168 yr He will have all on making 13 days. Hope he lasts longer so he can experience some of his punishment. Its a sickener he has enjoyed all these years free after such an horrific crime.

December 20, 20168 yr Why keep him at our expense. Lethal injection required asap IMO. I'm aware such an opinion won't be popular but given his age just get rid.
December 20, 20168 yr Author When I first read it that was my initial thoughts, too old to rehabilitate nor is he a danger to people. Seems a waste of tax payer money sending him to jail and the 13 year sentence is a joke. Won't the prison now have to cover funeral costs? Regardless of age there has to be some form of punishment for the crimes he's comitted, I don't think I trust our justice system with the power of lethal injections and castraition would be pointless given his age.
December 20, 20168 yr Just make sure he gets the cell with the dodgy radiator and give him used sheets from the medical ward. Pneumonia will do the job in no time at all.
December 20, 20168 yr Author Probably has the private en suite with a TV and morning paper given his age, no way will he be next door neighbours with an 18 year old face tattooed gold toothed thug.
