Jururs cringe watching Duncan torture tape
Under most circumstances, I am adamantly opposed to the death penalty because the life taken is often an innocent life.
But, in this circumstance, I am whole heartedly in favor of the death penalty. But, I think a few things should happen first:
1. The trial should finish in due course.
2. This evil man should be sent to a psychiatric hospital for scientific study. Find out why he is so demented. Find out what led him to these brutal rapes and murders.
3. Once it is clearly understood, put him on "the rack", and make it known publicly that it was his punishment for what he did. The victims surviving family will determine when he has suffered enough, even if the rack tears this monster's limbs completely off, it is their choice.
4. After that, end his life in the fashion he inflicted on his victims.
5. Burn his body, and dispose of it in an unmarked grave.
6. Use the information obtained to determine how to identify those people who need intervention in order to keep them from becoming similarly demented. It must not become a witch hunt.
I would like to mention that this evil man was diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder in 1980. When reading the wikipedia article about antisocial personality disorder, I noticed how it's prevalence in prisons is upwards of 75% (the general population is around 3%). This means there is a strong correlation between this disorder, and unlawful behavior that leads to prison.
If more research and psychological help were given to those people showing signs of this disorder, perhaps we could drastically reduce the prison population. My guess is that most of these people have no idea what is wrong with them, and they probably feel discriminated against for one reason or another.
One final note about Antisocial Personality Disorder: There are three strong indicators of childhood problems that correlate strongly to this disorder in adults:
1. Bedwetting (after the age of 7).
2. Animal Abuse
3. Pyromania.
I think, considering his past behavior (raping a young boy at gunpoint), he should have never been granted bail in 2005. Certain offenses should not be bailable, period. If you are arrested for murder, rape, assault, or drug dealing, you should not be granted bail.
In closing, this man should never see the light of day. Try him, learn from him, kill him, and be done with it.
