The high court just upheld the ruling, and it will be the first time anyone has been executed for anything other than homicide (or rape and homicide).

Sound unjust or unlawful? SHE WAS 8 YEARS OLD. He deserves to be tortured then killed in a slow, painful manner.

Think it's still unjust or unlawful? HE BRAGGED TO ANOTHER MAN THAT THE GIRL "BECAME A LADY TODAY." He deserves to be tortured and killed slowly and painfully then to suffer for the rest of eternity.

Makes me scared and cautious to ever bring a child into this world.

IMO rapes deserves the death penalty. There are no excuses for something like that. Just a death by lethal injection is too good for them though. Slow and painful is the way to go for something like that. Hopefully he isn't put into confinement so Bubba and all his friends can hear about what he did and give him a taste of his own medicine.

[TidesHoss32]

chalk one up for the good guys!..and he'll have an eternity to think about it while he's burning in hell. Id LOVE to have a week with this guy. The quick death sentence is even too liberal for me. I agree that he needs to be tortured beyond the highest level of pain. Then right before he thinks he's about to die, have some big huge dude rape his pathetic ass..stuff like this pisses me off. All rapists, child molestors, and child abusers should recieve death penalties IMO..but our spineless judicial system will never have it like it used to be and should currently be.

I was just wondering if anyone had heard about this....

The animals pictured below; car-jacked, then raped Christopher Newsom, cut off his penis, then set him on fire and fatally shot him several times while they forced his girlfriend, Channon Christian, to watch. An even more cruel fate awaited her!

Channon Christian, was beaten and gang-raped in many ways for four days by all of them, while they took turns urinating on her. Then they cut off her breast and put chemicals in her mouth ... and then murdered her.

These guys should be tortured to no end. Make it last for like a month. Do all things to them that they done to these 2 people. This really makes you wonder what has happened to the world.

[thetribe]

That is sickening. I don't know how people are capable of doing such things. Seriously.

[TidesHoss32]

its ashame they couldnt have attempted to carjack me. Because Id be judged by 12 for the 5 I filled with hollow point .45's..and wait and see..if they get the death penalty, a bunch of human rights watch groups will be protesting outside the court house..

[Amun-Ra]

Yea there are always people advocating for the criminals, but where are the groups for the victims. The people out there protesting for those animals are no better than the opnes who did the crime.IMO.

[BoondockSaint]

Besides being sick and twisted, the story sounds like at least one of the victims and one assailant knew each other.

Is that true? Do you have a link to the story?

Here is a link to another message board where I saw this. It has pictures of the victims and the accused. There are links there to read their obituaries and sign their Guest Books.

^I don't know why, but I've been banned from that forum without ever being there before.

Do you think maybe you could copy & paste the reading and PM it to me. If not, it's no big deal.

Thanks.

For as big a joke and pansy as our justice system is, I'm glad that it finally grew a pair and did the right thing.

[-STAT-]

Sad and makes me sick to my stomach to read stories such as these.

[TidesHoss32]

I agree man..but the sad part is that itll be fought for 15 or 20 years before they actually get to die and go to hell...I wish there was something that could be done about that.
