My question is this... how can this be SECOND degree murder? Comon. He burned her and then beat her to D E A T H. How long does one "get" to premeditate an action? In my opinion, as soon as he started burning her, he was attempting murder. Therefore, he had it in his mind that he was going to kill her before he burned her. Therefore, it was premeditated. Therefore, it was FIRST DEGREE MURDER. Wow, maybe I should be a judge.

I'll tell you one thing, if I were a judge, we wouldn't have cushy prisons like we do now because of stupid "human rights". In my opinion, you LOSE your human rights when you are locked up for murder, rape, burglary, incest, assault, etc.... ISN'T THAT THE WHOLE POINT OF PRISON????

This pile of crap, just got FREE meals, room and board, exercise, health care, and anything else he wants for the next 32 years. Heck, maybe Obama will make it to where this guy can get some good retirement benefits from us hard working AMERICANS once he gets out since I'm sure he'll be unaccustomed to the world in 2044. Poor guy...

I am a correctional sergeant for a prison here in Alabama. This crap sickens me. As a supervisor i have to do my job though or lose it because of inmate rights. I used to really struggle with it, but God has taken that from me so i can better do my job.

I'm glad to hear that Joeco- and welcome to the club. I realize all prisons are not like this, but some of them are literally like a luxery resort for criminals. I believe that prisoner should be allowed a place to sleep, place to use the can, place to shower, and a place to eat. What more do they need?
When I send me 3 y/o up to his room for bad behavior, I don't allow him to take Toy Story toys with him so he can sit there and play.
I also don't agree with the whole "visiting" thing. That's my opinion. If you have done something wrong, you are in prison, locked up and that's it. NO extra rights. If you are sentenced to 3 years, well buddy you'll see your family in 3 years. If you are sentenced to life (obviously for doing something terribily BAD) guess what? NOPE, no more family. You screwed up. You lost your rights. In many cases, you ended someone elses life as they knew it. Whether by murder, molestation, sexual-verbal-emotional-physical abuse, or just stealing every cent a person or family owned. You changed that life forever and now your life needs to be changed forever.

EYE for an EYE. Many criminals would not like it if I were a judge.

Well, the good news about the case here in Texas is that the local District Attorney will not be prosecuting the dad for 'accidentally' killing the guy he caught molesting his daughter. The emergency responders reported they found the guy with his pants down around his ankles and his genitals exposed when they arrived.

If I found some guy like that with my daughter, I probably would have done the same thing, even if it was with my bare hands. Bad thing is the poor little girl will now have issues for the rest of her life.
