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.

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

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.

[Noah930]

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

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.

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!
