I say this every time a death penalty issue comes up on the board but in situations like this reactions are like a glass. You can fill it full of emotion, or you can fill it full of intellect, but that glass only holds so much and you can fill it full of both. We should make our decisions when it comes to extinguishing a life based on reason and intellect. Not quick emotional responses. Look where a quick emotional response got the perp. Frigging lynch mob action developing here. Pitchforks and torches for everyone!

Not always true. If someone took the life of my kids I am making that emotional decision and imagine you feel the same about DW. When the person isn't close to you it is a lot easier to step back and think clearly.

Sorry rogue but it absolutely does. I can't believe you're actually saying he doesn't have a right to a trial. I would expect it from Scorehead. Also, killing this guy won't bring back his son, but it will make us a society who kills people. That said, I at least understand the death penalty argument. I don't understand the trial argument.

Riley Fox (March 31, 2001 – June 6, 2004) was an American three-year-old girl who was reported missing in Wilmington, Illinois. Later that same day the girl was found dead in Forsythe Woods County Forest Preserve, a public park that was just a few miles from the family’s residence. The girl was found face down in a creek in the park. She had been bound, gagged, and sexually assaulted and then drowned.

The night of the disappearance, Kevin, Riley's father, had picked up his kids from their grandmother's house around 1 A.M.. Too tired to carry his children up to bed, he laid Riley down on the couch and Tyler, Riley's older brother, down on the living room chair. He then went to his room, watched TV and went to bed around 2:30, according to his statements to police. The next morning, Kevin Fox was awoken by Tyler. Tyler informed him that Riley was gone, Kevin searched the entire house for Riley. He noticed that the front door and screen were open. Kevin went next door to a friend of Riley’s to see if they had seen the little girl. When the neighbors had not seen Riley, he then called the police.

Kevin Fox, the girl's father, was initially charged in the young girl's murder, based almost solely on a videotaped confession that he had killed Riley. He spent eight months in prison before he was cleared of all charges due to DNA evidence and the confession was ruled out based on coercion.

I'm guessing you would have shot this guy like a rabid dog as well?

Yes, some people are. Why do you constantly go to the well with this statement?
