No, but he would have become a media darling.
Why this bastard got to live an additional 33 years after the murder would be my question. You’d think the prison system would rather they die from old age before they meet Ol’ Sparky (how I miss him).
Better late than never, I guess. But 33 years is a long time to leave the victim’s family waiting for closure.
It’s cruel and inhumane.
This is not Justice, Life in prison is not right.
Death to all murderers. .
It would be better to execute someone by mistake then let someone like him live in jail for 32 years. I believe in everlasting life and the person who is put to death by mistake will have plenty of time to get right with the LORD, and will live in heaven forever.
Thirty-two years - too many.
RIP Elisa, your death has been avenged.
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.This man should have been dead decades ago. The effect of the huge delay in delivering his punishment is reflected in the behavior of so many today.

He would have been executed yrs ago if he capped a black thug youth in self defense....
I know the area.... He drove at least 35 miles to Hwy 39 from where he a abducted her....
I can only imagine the terror she endured before getting her head smashed in... By this POS...
He should have been dead 24 hours after his first appeal....
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
32 years of injustice... they should have put a bullet in his head when the jury said guilty.
If it were my family I would bring BILLBOARD sized death scene/autopsy photos of the victim and duct tape them to the anti-death penalty protesters faces.
Once again, the Daily Mail trumps the rather weak Tribune article:
California has about 700 of these people sitting on death row.
They will be sitting there until they die of natural causes.
The death penalty is no deterrent when they get to live and have 3 hots and a cot for 33 years before execution.
One thing is certain, as long as they have a buck for a lawyer, there will be a lawyer there to take it and keep them alive.
But the case's biggest break came a few days later when Mann's wife, Donna, went to his truck to retrieve his glasses. On the front seat, she found Wendy Nelson's note excusing Elisa for being late to school. It was stained with blood. She gave the note to detectives.
They had the guy's fingerprints but didn't search his truck?
Hey Texas like you, if you kill someone we Kill you Back in Florida also. Took to long though should have happened a week after the killing.
Isn't that special.
32 years is too long. Should be about 32 hours.
Thirty years is a travesty. He should have been dead at least 25 years by now.
Better late than never; good riddance and rot in hell.
That took more than 30 years longer than it should, but I’m glad to hear the good news.
