For Those People Who Oppose The Death Penalty
What would they recommend for this guy?
Put him down at the local animal shelter. As in, "put him down" permanently.
Is there any question about whether he should be kept comfortable at government expense for the remainder of his (un)natural life? I don't understand why there should be. His attorneys believe differently of course.
He is a monster, no question. There is no upbringing that excuses his crimes... no mental illness or impairment should prevent his execution.
I'm convinced there is currently no effective treatment for sexual
predators and pedophiles. Once they start, they are always going to be
a danger to others. Until there is a way to ensure public safety,
deterrence is our best legal protection and execution our best legal
remedy.

The
issue for the jury will be whether Joseph Edward Duncan III deserves to
die for kidnapping two young siblings in a bloodbath at their home and
whisking them away to the remote wilderness of western Montana, where
he tortured and raped them, and then killed the 9-year-old boy.
Put him down at the local animal shelter. As in, "put him down" permanently.
For the next several weeks, Duncan sexually abused and tortured the
children, in some cases videotaping the acts. He eventually shot Dylan
with a sawed-off shotgun, leaving the boy's body at a campsite in the
Lolo National Forest. Duncan brought Shasta back to Coeur d'Alene,
where they stopped to eat at a Denny's restaurant around 2 a.m. on July
2, 2005. A waitress recognized Shasta and called police.

"A jury will be tempted to see him as a monster, and the last thing the
defense wants is for them to think of him as a monster," Bibas said.
"They'll try to at least put in context what caused him to do this,
pointing out if the defendant has a history himself of being abused,
beaten or mentally impaired in some way."
He is a monster, no question. There is no upbringing that excuses his crimes... no mental illness or impairment should prevent his execution.
Duncan also has been charged in California with the 1997 slaying of 10-year-old Anthony Martinez in Indio, Calif. Prosecutors also intend to seek the death penalty there. Duncan has denied involvement in that crime, and Shasta's afraid she'll have to go to California to testify in that case, Smock said.
In addition, Duncan is a suspect in the 1996 Seattle-area killings of 9-year-old Carmen Cubias and 11-year-old Sammiejo White.
