The suspect actually has three kids, all daughters I believe.

The unfortunate ills of the death penalty range from state-to-state. In Florida, where this murder took place, it will take 12 yrs. for him to be executed. 12 yrs. of incarceration leading up to a date with the needle is punishment in itself since he will have no freedom and a very finite outcome to his life. The problem that I see with the death penalty is the millions in legal fees that will be utilized to finally engage the execution, and of course the time taken as the suspect waits on death row.

I have no problem with the death penalty. I have issues with the legalities that have wormed themselves into the system. Bork's book, on that account, makes much sense.

As for the suspect's prior record and release, it has been suggested that GPS-type chips be inserted into these criminals upon their release, but of course our liberal-minded justice system has ruled that as being too invasive and a violation of Constitutional rights.

You know, if you look at that tape, you can see that the girl had no chance of escape. She was stalked as brazenly as a lion stalks an antelope. Should I feel appalled of the thought that possibly she should have been armed? I don't now considering the circumstances. In cases like this, I don't say, "Look at the world we live in." I say, "Look at the world our justice system has allowed us to live in."
