    Good to hear. Too bad we can't just put a bullet in his fucked up head and save us all some money. Better yet, make it pay per view and make some money for the victims and their families

    why should tax dollars pay for that? I'm with MM. You get convicted of 45 sexual assaults, you don't get to live anymore.

    i guess you can say that for every lifer then. I personally don't believe the death penalty should be applied unless you murdered someone.

    No, because some "lifers" were convicted only based on testimony (which turned out to be lies).

    I personally believe that if you repeatedly commit felonies (especially sexual assaults and violent crimes), Society doesn't need to pay to lock you up. They need to pay for the firing squad--who I'm sure would volunteer.

    regardless. you argue that we shouldn't have to pay for them. kill away.

    what about career criminals/thieves? they should die too? what is the litmus test here? its pretty arbitrary.

    do you not see the difference between someone convicted on the word of someone else (which could be a lie), vs. someone who's confessed and/or has mountains of evidence against them?

    I argue that they had their shot at life and ruined someone else's with it. Die away.

    you say this is about money, isn't it? that's the rationale for not keeping him incarcerated forever. So if we will apply that to rapists, then apply to all lifers.

    if you are convicted, you are convicted. there isn't a partial life sentence or "maybe he's guilty lets convict him anyway".

    Robbing someone is ruining someone's life. beating someone up is ruining someone's life. committing financial fraud ruins someone's life.

    and you don't see the dangerous slippery slope of killing prisoners out of financial convenience?

    Wait, isn't he convicted on the testimony of other people? Not on his confession?

    When did I say it's just about money? He ruined the lives of multiple people, to include 14 1st-degree felonies. And if you think stealing money is worse than raping children, God Bless You. We'll agree to disagree.

    When does "living behind bars on society's dime b/c you're too much of a danger to ever let out again after committing 14 1st-degree sexual crime felonies" --> being killed come out to financial convenience?

    so to get this straight in my head...

    A jury of his peers has convicted him of 14 1st-degree felony sex crimes, among the 45 total convictions.

    He faces a maximum sentence of 400+ years.

    The legal system will most likely pronounce that he is unfit to ever be placed back into society, and must be incarcerated for the remainder of his natural life.

    ...
    Why should society be responsible for his care and feeding? Why should they expose him to other sexual predators in prison? Why is he allowed to live?

    Because we are not a society that kills prisoners based on the financial burden they will have on the legal system. By your logic, any lifer is subject to these terms, and like I stated, its a very perilous slippery slope.
