With all due respect to the young girl, do you think that is what she would want?
Was she in favor of corporal punishment? I'm sure she understood the concept of death, as her punisher killed her.
Never, anyone at anytime think life in prison is worse than the death penalty, it is not.
However many times the prison population takes thier due from this child killer it doesn't equal the one time he has to face god, and his judgement!
Give him to god as quick as possible, so he doesn't pollute us further.
God bless this child, an angel, given to us to in glory, yet taken away in unknown horror. In Jesus' name I pray, never again.
