I also hope every parole board member feels this for the rest of their life. Nah, they'll probably sleep just fine at night. This makes me so angry!!
Sure, but it doesn't invalidate my hypothesis. If he wanted to go back to prison, why not kill again? Like you said, killing feels good to him. He had to know he'd get caught. It's not like he picked a stranger. He apparently confessed immediately upon being questioned. If he was just looking for the thrill of killing, he could have made it a lot harder for the police, maybe claimed more victims. Killing again and going back to prison may have just been two birds with one stone to him.
And your proof for this statement?!?
Both Kansas and Washington State have civil confinement, although Im not sure if either state has faced the Supreme Court yet. As for a criminality gene, I dont know either. But a mutated gene could cause prevention or enahancement of proteins or enymes that may or may not influence behavior. Also, mutated genes are hereditary. For example, and this is pure speculation, we know that the frontal lobe of the brain is the area that deals with impulse behavior. Suppose a mutated gene caused disruption of lobe activity by issuing instructions for impulse control that were corrupted in some way. I dont know, maybe I should have included a sarcasm tag. Stories like this really p*ss me off. But I do believe there is a wiring difference in those that commit these crimes and those that dont. Just my opinion..
"Let's start with the Parole Board first."
I second that.
Thank you Indiana for having the death penalty. This slime was paroled from prisonfor slitting the throat of a woman and stabbing her kid to death. I guess 25 years wasn't enough.
Which part? That there is clinical evidence of sex offenders having different wiring? Or that we dont know much about it?
No flames here, I have no problem with studying him, as long as they take him apart and examine every piece.
Which, in that case, he ought be shot down like the rabid dog he is.
Studied on a cadaver table, maybe.
Liberals.
Can civil confinement be ordered for someone who committed no crime, but might have a genetic predisposition to crime?
Look, this "we should keep them, alive to study them" argument has been used by opponents of the death penalty. It is not very convincing.
However, you did say that murderers should be studied on death row; apparently you are not an opponent of the death penalty. So I will meet you half way: We should study the "hard wiring" of murderers -- as part of an autopsy.
It provides a number of theories-some hormonal, some possibly genetic, and some sociological. The large amount of theories leads me to believe there is much to learn..
The conclusion is that if you put a rope around their necks and drop them 15 feet, they do not re-offend.
LOL! Fair enough..
Let's start suing these parole boards and the psychologists that deem these predators 'safe'.
That would stop it pronto.
agreed.
"Look, this "we should keep them, alive to study them" argument has been used by opponents of the death penalty. It is not very convincing."
And has yet to happen. So far, the only thing that has happened when they are kept alive is so they can draw pretty little pictures and watch TV in their cells while writing letters to psycho women who want to have their babies.
Anyone still think the DEATH PENALTY is not the only way to prevent a murderer from being a repeat offender. Our justice system has failed to the cost of this young woman's life.
