    "Authorities are believed to be considering whether to bring murder and capital felony charges against both men, which would make them eligible for the death penalty."

    Why, in God's name, is this still under consideration?
    Sheesh. You kill someone, you get charged with murder. Simple as that. The capital felony charges just sweeten the deal.

    Because its Connecticut. When Michael Ross wanted to get the lethal injection, had his lawyer fight to get the lethal injection and wanted to meet his maker, the case was held up by people who said that piece of shit should live. Dude, you rape and murder eight women, you die.

    As for these scumbags, if Connecticut had a three strikes law, they would still be in prison. He had graduated from petty thefts to his last case where he broke into the home where people were still inside. BTW he only served about 5-years of a 9-year sentence.

    I can't imagine how that father is going to survive this, knowing how his children died.

    If this had taken place a few miles away in Waterbury, the prosecutor in that district would probably go for the death penalty. of eight (?) suspects on CT's death row, he's responsible for seven of them.

    If the prosecutor in this case DOESN'T go for the death penalty, there'll be a lynch mob outside his office, and they'll be screaming for HIM.
     
  6. And Three Strikes Laws are exactly what I mean. They get passed in a feeding frenzy after a peculiarly atrocious crime. Nobody thinks them through. Nobody asks the professionals. It's like legislating by talk-show. And then, a few years later, some of the pros come out and say that the law doesn't work.

    Gotta disagree here Boomer. That part of CT always struck me as a pretty solid area.

    Go 45 minutes to the northwest to Winsted, home of one of the raggies? Yeah. That's Deliverance land.

    Yeah - that is what I meant - You start heading north of 84 in that area and it gets weird fast.

    You can staying hearing the banjo around Torrington and it fully kicks in when you hit Winsted. Always get strange vibes.

    Some of those towns have weird grouping of raggies and yuppies from Fairfield County looking for cheaper real estate.

    Actually, I'd say you can hear it as soon as you leave the Waterbury town line on Rte 8.

    But yeah, there's a weird combo of raggies and yuppies the whole way all the way up to the NY/Mass borders.

    Hayley Petit, 18, and Michaela Petit, 11, were dead. The girls, sources said, were tied to their beds and raped, then left to burn after gasoline was poured around their beds and ignited.

    This was done by the folks F_B doesn't want to incarerate until they do something really bad.
    These two geneticly defective humans and the mutant animals that forced a son to rape his mother in Georgia should be strung up by the balls, NOW.

    And if these horrible things keep happening, the people to whom the power is vested may need to rethink the justice system.
    It's supposed to serve to keep the people safe, not that criminals free.

    Everyone seems to have 3 fingers. I think it's something in the ground water from all those chemical companies.
