That's good. But his accomplices should all fry too.

I'd like to see a death penalty that stipulates that the sentenced, gets to die the same way his/her victim did.
In the case of Couey, it would be to stick him alive into 2 garbage bags, and let him suffocate.

"had argued that he couldn't be executed because his client was mentally retarded......

....mentally retarded people cannot legally be executed under a 2002 US Supreme Court decison...."


+++++++++++++++

You know who never gets the death penalty? Crazy people and mentally retarded people

"Oh, but your honor, my client client is retarded, he didn't know what he did"


JUDGE: Fine, then he doesn't know we are going to kill him.

You know the guy is THAT retarded, you put him in the electric chair and . tell him it's a F**king RIDE.

This guy should be hung by an ankle and skinned alive.

I wish the judge could issue a time of execution based on the evidence presented to the court.

"You are sentenced to death by lethal injection at 12:00AM tomorrow morning. Have a nice night."

Does anyone know the accomplices?

The guy broke into the home and abducted her. Talk about nerve.

I never understood why the killer had to understand what he did was bad for it to be bad.

It is because the law requires a "specific intent" or other characteristics equaling a specific intent (depraved heart, recklessness, etc) as an essential element for committing the crime of capital murder and other "specific intent" crimes. If due to mental disease or defect, one does not or is incapable of knowing that the act is illegal, then one cannot form the specific intent to commit the designated crime.

Good

Someone like that should have their gonads nailed to a stump, have a fire built around them, and be given a rusty butter knife.

A piece of ***** like that I have no mercy for

Why would you want to execute a retarded person? It can't be for retribution when the person against whom retribution is sought doesn't know what you are doing or why.

If any crime deserved the death penalty it would be what this guy did to that poor girl. Killing this man, though, just brings us closer to his level. IMHO.

Ohhh,this legal folderol about "mentally Ill"people is a lawyers trick.

Think about it,if someone is truly mentally ill,incapable of productive integration into society,and perhaps dangerous to those about them then what use are they?

We've become too soft and afraid as a society thanks to unfettered legalism.The distinction nowadays between what's morally and ethically apropos has been blurred to such an extent that one is simply afraid of expressing the opinions of common sense....not for the few but for the collective whole.

As an example wide'O the mark,how do YOU like subsidising health care and education for illegal aliens?

It has nothing to do with lawyers or their supposed "tricks." It's about moral judgments. Society, from time to time, makes the moral judgment that people who commit heinous crimes deserve to die. As I understand it, the state-sponsored killing is warranted by the depravity of the crime. If that's true, then killing retarded people makes no sense because they, by definition, are incapable of making evil choices.

That's not for me to say.

My point exactly.

Doesn't bother me a bit. Where I live immigrants give much, much more than they get. I figure they are probably getting tired of subsidizing our need for reliable labor.

If I lived in one of those areas where the ecomony and everything else is getting turned upside down by illegal immigrants, I would probably have a different opinion.
