But that is far too lenient, instead put him in a place full of violent caged men for the rest of his life.

In this case, one of using one human being as a tool for hurting another human being. Killing a child to kill the soul of the mother. Transcends the need or desire for rehabilitation, moving straight to retribution.







It has been brought to my attention that my post was taken by some people as advocating torture. I said send him to prison for life in a way which highlighted the actual conditions in most US prisons. I backed off my initial reaction of capital punishment and advocated life without parole. The reference to leniency was meant as instead of halting his anguish for his actions (by ending his life), He should reflect on his extreme shortcomings as a human being for as many years as possible.
