Do you mean that this could have happened to any family?Originally Posted by Falls City Beer
Just can't get too thrilled about executing a mentally ill/mentally retarded man.
Sorry.

What would you propose be done to him?
"There but for the grace of god go I"- based on your response, I take your post to mean that but for the grace of God you could be in that killer's shoes?
If that were your daughter, murdered in such a cruel and torturous fashion, would you be saying what you're saying?
If that quote should be used in any sort of context in this situation it's that anyone with a sister or a daughter or a little boy, but for the grace of God, could be in the same, terrifying, hell-on-earth faced by that little girl and now being lived by her parents and family on a daily basis, for the rest of their lives.
Some people believe that justice is never served by the execution of another human being.
We'll burn that bridge when we get to it.
I'm not so self-satisfied to believe that had my parents not been healthy and sane people I would have turned out just fine. Or had my parents been like what this killer was like I would have been able to pull myself up by my bootstraps and been "normal." The great myth of our society is self-determination. Just thank whatever deity you worship that you had a good family or had someone in your life to show you the right path.
But don't break your arm patting yourself on the back for being sane because all that is is great freakin' luck.

Too painless...........go for ole sparky.
I don't know what this line from the story makes me feal more. Pure rage or just break down and cry.Her body was found in a shallow hole, encased in two black plastic trash bags. She had been buried alive and suffocated, and was found clutching a purple stuffed dolphin. Two fingers poked through the top of the bags.
Her body was found in a shallow hole, encased in two black plastic trash bags. She had been buried alive and suffocated, and was found clutching a purple stuffed dolphin. Two fingers poked through the top of the bags.Before I read down the thread I was going to post the exact same thing. I definitely tear up everytime I think of that part of the story.
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
The purple stuffed dolphin is what got me for some reason. Just so sad thinking what that little girl went through.
State of Florida got their justice. Jessica is dead and buried and that is an extremely sad fact that didn't change one bit based on the outcome of a trial.
The sole purpose of what was going on should have been to make sure the he doesn't get an opportunity to do it again to someone else.

There is no justice for what he did. I don't care what phony-baloney 'illness' they try deflect blame to -- there is no justice for the torture, rape and death of this young girl.
The system let down this girl. This loser had been nailed before for this sort of behavior and let go on his merry way.
I suspect you're confusing your definitions of 'justice' and 'vengeance.'
