Man Who Suffocated a 25 Year old woman and her four children

Good riddance to the trash of society.

Isn't it something that he doesn't want to die? Maybe the three year old did.

He should be glad I don't have control on how people like him should be exicuted...
Tied to the back end of a truch driven through a cactus patch...

ha ha dan that would be too good for him. how about 1001 tiny paper cuts inflicted on various parts of his body then dipped into a flaming vat of alcohol,rolled in salt,wrapped in wet leather,drizzled in honey and left in the desert sun to dry over a fire ant hill? nahh that would still be too go for the likes of him.

I'm with you Dan.

Sounds like the lawyer should go to the chamber with him.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Carol, Hi! What a Post. I did read a little about this when it happened and my Heart just ached. I pray they did-not suffer.

As for Jason, I'am sure he will get what he deserves..

I agree, Carol. I think that they should hang him in the town square after he has one appeal to the United States Supreme Court. Or... he could die in the same manner as his victims.

That's what I don't get. How did they die? In what order? How could he think he doesn't deserve a shot in the arm?

he should die the same way as he they did..

This is the way I think too, Larry. The way you kill someone is the same fate you should meet. Only you will know the final outcome!

I agree with Larry on that one,,, sick and twisted people out there, I believe he deserves death,however death of injection is tooo nice to people like that,they feel no pain so they should get the chair if you ask me... or rot in prison

Do it he old way. Don't waste time on these characters. Try them, convict them, and hang em high. All the same day. In his case put the noose on wrong so he just hangs there choaking to death for a while.

If it was up to me, they would have to go through the same thing their victims went through.
Maybe if people knew look you do this to someone the same thing will happen to you...
they might think about it before they do.

I say turn him over to the family of the people he murdered. Let them punish him. He knew when he killed them what the punishment would likely be. He chose the death chamber and we shouldn't disappoint him.

Just shoot.

I like that one.

I'm not familiar with this case - but murdering 5 people should certainly warrant the death penalty!

an eye for an eye... I like the fast track Texas has in place all states should have that. no one gave those babies or their mother a chance to appeal. if the evidence is over whelming and there is no doubt that this man is guilty why should he get a 2nd chance? Read my reply to Dan R.'s comment and you'll see what I really think should happen.

Oh my gosh, that is just brutal. Was this psycho introxicated? How disgusting and yeah, he needs to be executed. I have always been pro death penalty.

Why do we believe in imposing the death penalty?

* Is it a deterrent to others?

* Does it save tax dollars?

* Or, does it just provide retribution for those affected by violent crime?

The fact is that there is no conclusive evidence that the death penalty is a deterrent. Deathpenalty.procon.org cites a number of experts both pro and con to show that the death penalty is an effective deterrent, and neither position is persuasive. See -

There is also no conclusive evidence that the death penalty saves the taxpayers money compared to life in prison without parole. The additional cost of confining a prisoner for life in prison without parole is offset by the huge legal costs associated with death penalty cases. See -

So, we come down to the question of retribution to justify our position on the death penalty. Deathpenalty.procon.org says, ""Death penalty advocates justify capital punishment under the principle of lex talionis, or 'an eye for an eye' -- the belief that punishment should fit the crime. In particular, people who favor capital punishment argue that murderers should be executed in retribution for their crimes and that such retribution serves justice for murder victims and their survivors. Death penalty opponents emphasize the sacredness of life, arguing that killing is always wrong whether by individual or by the state, and that justice is best served through reconciliation." See -

So in the final analysis, your position on the death penalty depends on whether you believe in an "eye for an eye" or you believe in the sacredness of human life, because there is no other quantitative data on which you can base your choice. The "eye for an eye" people haven't changed much since the days of the Old Testament, since that is the rationale used in those days. The "sacredness of life" people apparently believe that society evolves over time.

Either position provides an interesting insight into ourselves and our process for making moral judgments.

Linda, thank you for your comment. However, it does not answer all of my questions.

Could you explain what you mean by "justice for the victim"? I'm not sure why you believe that two deaths instead of one show more regard for the "sacredness of life" if there are other means for protecting society. With our maximum security prisons, life imprisonment without parole protects society, unlike the options that existed in society in biblical times.

As far as the your assumptions about my thinking, I firmly believe in the "sacredness of life". In fact, that is the reason I can not understand why the taking of two lives instead of one is consistent with the "sacredness of life", as long as society can be protected by life imprisonment without parole.

I also have strong beliefs about justice. Your remark about "trying to portray yourself as 'better than' those of us who think the victim is more important than the criminal" is unfair and untrue. I have struggled with this issue and changed my position only after a lot of thought and prayer.

You say, "It is not a deterant (sic). So what. This guy won't murder anyone else once he is dead." You might consider that the guy also won't murder anyone else if he is given a sentence of life imprisonment without parole.

Linda, I didn't say that anyone is not a Christian for believing in the death penalty. I stated what I believe in order to start a discussion.

Capital punishment is certainly an issue where people of faith can disagree. God said, "Thou shalt not kill", and then left it up to us to figure out how to apply that commandment to the many different situations that have existed over time in the many countries of this world.

It is not easy. God never said it would be.

But, through prayer and working together, people of faith can influence the way that society deals with the problem of killing in all of its various occurrences. We can make a difference, as they say.

I believe that our best efforts will be pleasing to God who, in the long run, will determine the outcome which is beyond our capability to control.

In my late teens and early twenties, I was against the death penaltty. But at my age, having read or seen through the t.v. scores and scores of similar stories, I have changed my tune. The innocent should be appeased, An "Eye for an Eye" is just punishment.

And since he took so many "eyes", "drawn and quartered" does sound appropriate.

castration anyone?
