Thank you. The death penalty can be applied justly. It would be appropriate for a crime like this, if there were not the possibility of keeping the perv in jail until his last dying breath.

So it's unjust that they didn't give him "life, with no possibility of parole." Still, as it is, he will be dead before his 23 years are up: he may be dead on Day One if he other cons get ahold of him.

I desire for this man what I desire for myself: salvation. Jesus saves. Savior is His Name.

Even if they had, another judge could decide to "revisit" it, perhaps years from now.

That could be ... that Boston priest who was actually a pedophile didn't last long. However, I don't think this form of "justice" speaks well of our society. If we, through our organs of criminal justice, aren't willing to sentence him to death, we shouldn't be sneaks and let someone else assume the responsibility.

A prison sentence should be a sentence of incarceration, not a sentence to death, beating, or rape. It just not an honorable way to operate.
