And her family and friends.
Had they executed him back then, he would not have been a statistic in the prison costs for 27 years.
IF, by the age of 15, they don't know any better, then I believe the parents should be looked at as well.
We all know how intelligent dogs are, and if a dog, (that has no real concept of 'right and wrong', just a vague idea from praise and scolding) bites someone and gets put down because he is 'a possible menace or danger to other children', then I think any teen or older that consciously picks up a weapon of some sort, maims or kills another human, by that time definitely should know 'right from wrong' and should not be a burden on taxpayers serving life sentences, having meals, roof over the head, and basically no responsibilities except follow the rules.
OK, fine.
I don't agree with CN's outlook on this, but I've never seen the side of him you speak of.
And, any one of them with half a brain can act for long enough to fool people into thinking they are 'better or reformed'.
ask yourself this question , would you leave youre loved ones, children , familly locked in a house with this guy for a week ? if the answer is no then he shouldnt be free to roam society .
I see your point but he was only thirteen do you not believe in rehabilitation. In some cases I do and this was one of them paedophiles are never rehabilitated child or adult but some people just need a chance and let's face it I didn't know my own mind at thirteen and listening to him talk neither did he. Can you imagine how his mother must have felt, I have two sons and for one to be locked up from the age of thirteen would break my heart especially knowing he was going to die in prison.And even if one of those woman he killed was a relative of mine I would still have trouble getting my head round that it was a child hat did it.
I understand how you feel but I think if you had seen the programme you may feel differently, their were men in their that no doubt deserved their punishment that were pure evil and had committed terrible crimes, but this one just seemed to have redeemed himself through books and education and the fact he realised he was going to miss out on life basically and he was appalled at what he'd done it was quite sad really.
Trust me you would not want any body part of some of these animals, in fact it's an insult to animals to even call them that one of them had cut a four year old child's head off not nice would you want his heart I sure wouldn't!
He was only thirteen when he committed the crime it was a robbery initially.
I agree with you, but their was just something about this man that stuck out and he's got a family somewhere that loves him that watched him go into jail a child I dont know maybe I'm wrong but he's thirty five years old now and learnt a lot from his crime.
He was thirteen a child, and put in an adult prison at fifteen.
I guess I need to repeat myself.
So, yeah... I guess guilty verdicts are never a mistake.
good news is no one would have to suffer very long because of the mistake. Families heal from death quicker than loss. here's some money from the opps we fucked up but thanks for thinning the numbers fund. Still be cheaper than all the prisons.
No I disagree the boy was thirteen, I know plenty of lads that have had a shit up bringing that have done okay and never been in trouble, and I know plenty that have had a good up bringing and have turned into murderers you can't blame the parents for everything when you have a child they are separate human beings with their own personality,and views and they will do what they want regardless of the parents all you can do is guide them and hope they will follow that guidance.
