I didn't follow the evidence to prove guilt, but if he is guilty, death is too good for him.
"He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the innocent,
they are both alike an abomination to the Lord."
(Proverbs 17:15)

Not really. Justice would ONLY be served if the girls family were the ones to decide his fate and if they were the ones to carry it out. THAT would be justice. Anything else is just interferance by people that, once they had found the guy and proved he was the one that did it, should have had NO say in what happens to him. Justice...REAL justice is about the family being able to have a real sense of closure that can't happen unless they are the ones making the decision and carrying it out. It is their right to do so.

It sure was. However, I think it cheaper to the state if he had been given a life sentence. Within 15 minutes of entering the general population of a prison, other prisoners would kill him. That, I think would be a more fitting sentence, rather than being relaxed and lying down while being taken out with a needle.
Plus, it would allow a few prisoners to work out their frustrations. Whoever took that pervert out should receive a pardon...
He wasn't as retarded as his defense team argued. It was oblivious, he know right from wrong because he buried and killed his victim hoping he wouldn't get caught.

I believe so. The man took a little girl from her own bedroom which should be a safe place for her, sexually assaulted her, put her in a trash bag still alive and buried her. He willfully committed three very heinous acts - kidnapping, rape and murder. As far as I see it he serves no purpose rotting in a jail cell for endless years at taxpayer expense because he was a convicted sexual predator when he did this to poor Jessica so he will not change.

of course nothing will replace or can replace Jessica
however some crimes are so heinous, I can understand why a serious penalty must be enforced.
It was a disturbing case...the other people in the trailor harboring the sex offender should not have done so and should have cooperated more fully with investigators in my opinion and possibly had some stiffer punishments themselves.. but these are issues for the authorities and legislature to work through
I hope God comforts the family of Jessica in their loss, as one of the jobs Jesus said he would do is to bind the broken hearted

i have to admit this is a good question
i can certainly see good arguments on both sides
he certainly should never be free
do two wrongs make a right?
should taxpayers have to pay to keep him in prison?
what about all the innocent people that were on death row?
when they starting using dna testing they found lots of them
they were mostly black
well i didnt hear about the case
and was refering to death penalty in general

Yes, in fact God commands the death penalty for murder.

Yes. If we had more sentences like that we would have less perverts. I just wish there was a way we could make his death as painful as hers was.
