Dad: I'll kill my son's murderer if he's released - U.S. news - Crime & courts - msnbc.com


The father of a five-year-old boy slain in 1975 has vowed to murder the man who did it "as aggressively and painfully as he killed my son" if he is released from prison early.

John Foreman told WPRO-AM radio that he blamed himself for accepting a plea deal that saw Michael Woodmansee convicted of the second-degree murder of his son Jason in South Kingstown, Rhode Island.

Woodmansee was sentenced to 40 years in prison in 1982, but the plea bargain deal allowed him to be released early for good behavior. This could happen as soon as August, the Providence Journal reported.

In the interview, Foreman claimed a journal kept by Woodmansee, which has not been released by police, details how the killer had eaten the young boy's flesh.

"I do intend, if this man is released anywhere in my vicinity, or if I can find him after the fact, I do intend to kill this man," Foreman added.

"I cannot think, I cannot sleep. All I think about is trying to find a way to get this man to kill him," he told WPRO-AM.

Foreman said he wanted to kill Woodmansee "as aggressively and painfully as he killed my son."


He said he remembered only one detail contained in the journal, that Woodmansee "ate the flesh of my son."

In the interview, Foreman said his decision to accept a plea deal had been "spineless."

"I've got myself to blame for that ... allowing him to be released early to become a predator to someone else. I'm to blame for all that and I'll make that right," he said.

Foreman said his son was a "well-behaved boy, very smart, very intelligent for his age."

He added that he had been full of "hopes and dreams" for his son. "I know he was going to be somebody. I had real hopes for this young boy," Foreman said.

Amy Kempe, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Peter Kilmartin, said in a statement Monday that he was concerned and outraged about Woodmansee's scheduled release, The Associated Press reported.

Kempe said Kilmartin had asked Rhode Island's Department of Corrections to look into ways to keep Woodmansee in prison.

Kempe added that the attorney general's office would work with the Department of Corrections to examine the legal options.

Patricia Coyne-***ue, chief legal counsel for the Department of Corrections, said that the only way an inmate could lose his entitlement to early release for good behavior was if he did something wrong.

Coyne-***ue said the early release was based on a law first introduced in 1872. It was last changed significantly in 1960.

I'm Ok with it. As a father I have no problem rationalizing it.

Well, if that's the way he wants to spend the rest of his life....

I'd say the man needs some professional help.

Better that he monitored the convict and got him returned to prison. The percentage of redaction (edit: What I meant to say is "recidivation") is pretty high. A little help and the guy goes back.

Right after he murders another little boy ?

I swear..
he was here with me..

Rika

The only thing done wrong is the father made this information public.

Good behavior my hiney, this dude ATE the kid....

I'd happily do it for him but it'd deprive him of the satisfaction and closure that I think he needs far more than I do.

Some people should just be immediately reduced to worm food. That boy's killer is one.

Maybe the released murderer will go and eat his former attorney's kid? [/sarcasm]

+1

I didn't say I agreed with the judicial system. But I would take advantage of the system and put the bastard back in prison. Not likely he will kill another right out of prison. He'll need some freedom of movement.

In the meantime, he's likely to violate probation. Maybe you missed my point. I'd be glad to help him violate his probation to the point that I'd set him up.

This is the job I suggest to the father instead of rotting away for killing a piece of worthless trash. There are no heroes behind bars.

or me -

I'd do the same thing...

...but I DON'T think I'd announce it on TV.

I think the biggest issue would be that at least 8 or 9 of my friends would all maintain I was at their house when it happened. :D

blow torches and pliers.

i thought the indoors population had ways of dealing with those that hurt children.
haven't been inside myself, but that's what i've heard.

To save my neck I can't see why he accepted a plea bargain. Seems like an easy conviction to me with a death penalty. We have lots of hungry 'gators here in Florida. They probably wouldn't touch a cannibal though.

Obviously, this perp hasn't had a dreadful accident while in the joint.

Jury nullification exists for cases like this boy's father will become. I only worry about a wrongful death lawsuit by the perp's family if the father offs him, even if he walks with an acquittal or hung jury for his murder/manslaughter trial.

From what I understand the father accepted the plea to prevent the details of the abduction and murder from being heard at the trial. That is why he refers to himself as "spineless" and has grown to regret his decision.

I'm sure this POS was in protective custody the whole time he has been in. I'd love to know what constitutes "good behavior" from a scumbag like this??

OPSEC, Father needs some!

Amen!

Sickos like that tend to kill again, just like sexual predators.

The father doesn't want it on his conscience when the guy kills another child, I can understand that.
But like others have said, if someone really wanted to kill someone there are ways to go about it and not go to prison.
Talking to the press about it isn't one of those ways.

People who prey on children are never cured. Though I think it should be a mandatory death sentence to prey on a child, there's no point in giving them anything less than life in prison with no parole. They cannot be cured or rehabilitated and are guaranteed recidivists in waiting with anything less than life/no parole.

My guess is that due to the threat, he won't be released prior to the forty years being served.

I'd contribute to the father's defense fund. If it's Providence, RI, the guy could have the murderer taken out for pocket change.

I remember back in the UK some years back, the "Bring back hanging" issue was up for debate in the House of Commons. The then Minister heading the Home Office (the Gov Dept responsible,) said he could not support it because if an innocent person was hanged, he could not live with the knowledge that he made it possible.

What BS. Thats why we elect these people. If you can't make tough decisions on our behalf, then don't stand for office.
They have no compunction sending kids of to war when it's not their arse on the line.

Hanging or injection may be too ritualistic for this type of killer, just drag them out the back & shoot them.

Sorry dagriff, while I think the death sentence is appropriate in some situations I'm reluctant
to support it.

Check how many death row inmates in TX have been exonerated by DNA last couple of years.

The system makes too many mistakes.

True 'dat. Providence is a pretty rough hood. Parts of it anyway. Lots of destitute individuals down there who'd probably "dirty deeds done dirt cheap".

Stoning sounds good. Have the father throw the first rock.

Can't wait to see your favorite candidate's campaign slogans:
"Not afraid to kill innocent people!"
"I'll kill the innocent in order to protect the innocent!"
"I'll kill the innocent to get revenge on the guilty!"
Or take a line from Animal House, "Crime absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!"

I don't think there is a jury in America who would convict him if he was able to do it.

Thanks Will-I see his reasoning now.

This dude ATE the kid man. forget that noise i'd kill his ass too.

They will prolly put the guy getting out, in Wit-less protection.......

Sounds like the DA didn't do his job!

16 States have civil incarceration for sex offenders following criminal incarceration. It may be a mental institution, but it is just like jail. Instead of plotting and planning murder, Dad should petition the State Legislature for a quick pass of a copycat law of one of the 16. I recommend South Carolina's Statute. Good behavior in prison in no way equates to "cured sex offender".

Jury's should decide whether the plea bargain is appropriate. After they have made their decision, if there was a plea bargain, the jurors should decide whether it stands or is quashed based on the severity of the crime.

In the US....a jury can be over ruled by the judge on ANYTHING. He can even take a not guilty verdict and say WTF...ya stoopid?

Matter of fact, a defense lawyer can ask for a non jury trial if he feels that the mouth breathers are all gonna hang his client from the get go.

Absolutely incorrect.

I fully support the father in this but he should not have made the public statement....

If he does it in Arizona, we have a lot of shovels and several bags of lime. Its a big desert out there...

Like Hugh's comment about using a blowtorch...

Even the cops here say they'd not convict him.
