Killer's Appeal Denied

The appeal of one of the two killers of 13 yr. old Jesse Dirkhising has been denied by the Arkansas Supreme Court. If you're not familar with the case, Google Jesse's name cuz I'm not going to repeat it here. What they did to that child will make you toss your breakfast.

Killing's too good for both of them.

Can't someone just take those two a**holes out behind the jail and put a bullet in them? I know a bunch of people who'd volunteer. We can only hope that some of those nice gents in prison make every day a living hell for them.

That's what I'm hoping.

Followed your advice and read one of the articles about Jesse. It is a tale of horror, but beyond that, I also sense that there is something truly vile about the way the aftermath is managed in all cases of this type. We preserve the murderer and rarely for reasons relating to the murder. Another example, two weeks ago an Albuquerque Municipal Judge lowered the surety/cash requirement from $20,000 to $2,000 (on a $100,000 bond) for a child killer who admitted attacking his girl friend's two year old daughter and crushing her skull. When questioned by the Sheriff's Office, D.A.'s Office, and local press, Judge Sedillo advised that he is in charge, that he can do whatever he wants in his court, and that no one will be allowed to question his decisions. The second this new variable surfaced, the child with the crushed skull became irrelevant and the rest of the story will be played out for entirely different reasons. What kind of syndrome has us chained to these monsters?

No disagreement here. I thought these two particularly deserved the death penalty because of the heinous nature of their crime.
