what form of justice is enough ...

Recommended Posts

... for the rapist & killer of this child, whether it be this guy or someone else?

Obviously nothing will suffice. While I am a strong believer in the our criminal justice system, it is sad this pervert will spend 20 years appealing, if he isn't shanked in prison first.

it's damn near impssible to argue DNA evidence found on a corpse you have no business being near...much less inside of



You think so, eh? I don't think you remotely appreciate the complexity of DNA evidence and the variance in multiple scientists' analysis of such evidence.

Please list every item of scientific evidence submited by the defense at trial; and for each such item, provide a cogent rebuttal, linked to specific items of evidence submitted by the prosecution.

On the strength of reading one single news story, in the absence of a shred of evidence being presented or rebutted in court, you have single-handedly convicted and sentenced the defendant, and rendered every judge and jury in America, not to mention the Constitution, irrelevant.

Is it justice we seek or revenge in this supposedly christian country.



In a (near) perfect system ...

Justice: If an individual can be rehabilitated then incarceration, if an individual can not be rehabilitated then capital punishment.

Revenge: Never, an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Good question. Part of me certainly wants to hurt the guy. I have a granddaughter that is 6 years old too. Perhaps I'm too close to be rational. If he did it, and DNA says he did, then there is NOTHING too strong of a sentence for what he did. Imagine your 6 year old being raped by someone, then strung up like side of beef. Would anything make you feel better? I doubt it. However, that being said, if it were my granddaughter that he did that to ... well. let me say I think my Christian convictions of justice would be put to the ulitmate test.

Actually I think it's more of having seen plenty of child murder cases in the news where DNA evidence is the first thing they use to match the scene to the suspect. After that, they're all pretty much doomed.

I'm impressed though that you have the ability know how many articles I reference in researching an event such as this. :P

Admittedly I am a bit more hardline when it comes to justice. If he is guilty without a shadow of a doubt, then I'd wish we still had the burning at the stake punishment.

Another form of punishment, turn the prison population loose on him in the yard. they can bury his carcass in a corner of the yard. Cost: free.

Justice is not suppose to be emotional. If we think of it as in terms of "had it happen to my granddaughter", then we will soon begin to cut hands for robbery, legs for running away, and tongues for verbal offenses.

A fit punishment would be a life in prison (without parole and doing hard labour) and if the close family of the victim wants a bit extra punishment (and who can blame them) the can always go to the prison to visit a random inmate whith a pack of cigarretes and tell them what the guy did.
