Update on the man who brutally killed the 10 year old and had plans to eat her...

He was given the death penalty.

After deciding I wanted him to die for his crime, I'm finding myself kind of feeling bad. The jury had the choice to give him life in prison without the chance of parole or death, and after 8 1/2 hours of deliberation they decided on death. I feel especially bad for the jurors. When I first read this case I felt this man deserved death, since he had this all planned out, murder, sexual assault, decapitation, and cannibalism, but at the same time, now his death is the result of the jury. These 12 people now are responsible for signing a man to death, and that's hard to think about as well. Even if he is mentally ill and a murderer...he's still a person. This death penalty buisness is way more complicated than I thought once you take everything into perspective.
