be done with it...

Inasmuch as we wish these sexual predators "done" for the harm that they visit upon society, I have greater contempt for the judges that release them, time and time again, upon society... Jessica Lunsford died at the hands of two sickos, one being John Evander Couey, and the other being the judge that last released him! His criminal history:

"Criminal history:
=> Outstanding warrant for violation of probation charge stemming from a 2004 arrest for possession of marijuana under 20 grams and possession of drug paraphernalia.
=> Arrested multiple times on various charges, including burglary, carrying a concealed weapon, disorderly intoxication, driving under the influence, indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, fraud, insufficient funds and larceny.
=> Arrested in 1991 on charges of a sex offense, fondling a child under the age of 16.
=> Registered sexual offender in Citrus County.
=> Has absconded more than once.
=>Driver's license suspended for 99 years.
Source: Citrus County Sheriff's Office"

Matter of fact, let John Evander Couey go so Lunsford's Dad can get a crack at him and put the judge in prison!

And we wonder why the US has more people in prison than China...

I wonder what Jesus would say…

well, I guess we now see what "rehabilitation" does.
He failed to follow the law (see that's what criminals do) and register his whereabouts and the victims paid for it.
An innocent child lost her life.


What I find so appalling is that his family helped cover up the crime if not out right help him.

Well, this one deserves it when proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.

...because our justice system differentiates between convictions proven "beyond a shadow of a doubt" and those other lesser convictions, right?

So the judicial system is about to spend a couple million bucks on this guy for what?

Ummm....if he pleads guilty and doesn't make use of his appeals, it certainly wouldn't last too long.

Pesky due process!

I think sex offenders(rape & molestation) should be given one chance to live a normal life after the first offense. If there is a second offense, they should be incarcerated for life. There needs sexual offender prisons, build them as high as they need to go, I would gladley give $100 more bucks a year in taxs for that.

Yeah, that pesky stupid parasite child really got due process.

What the smurf are you talking about?  Do you even know what due process means?

I never said the child was "pesky," a "stupid parasite," or that she at all deserved what happened to her. 

Have anything of substance to say?

is it worth the risk to have two, or more, lives ruined so that one (who has been found guilty) can walk the streets again?

So in your opinion, there is never a chance for rehabilitation, that there should be no option to allow for rehabilitation, and all convicted of being sexual predators should be executed (clearly unconstitutional, btw)?

Emotions are obviously running high with the recent discovery of Jessica's body. With out letting our emotions get in the way (and possibly BigBrothered

The only problem with this logic, NokX, is that look at rape cases. For example, the Kobe Bryant trial. What if he would have been convicted, or had decided to settle out of court? Now as a basketball player, Kobe's not really one of my favorites, but I do believe there was plenty of shady business going on on the side of the plantiff. Sometimes, celebrities will agree to settle out of court because it's less expensive in the long run. It doesn't always mean they are guilty. Finally, like it or not, or justice system is not infallable. Sometimes, innocent people get convicted, likewise, some guilty people go free. There must be some checks and balances when dealing with handing out death sentences. I'm not anti-death penalty, in the case of Jessica's killer, I too agree, if found guilty he deserves to die.
