Oh and this animal is repeat offender:
Morley, who had previous convictions for rape, attempted rape and indecent assault against children, and was a registered sex offender, used a false name and address and an internet cafe to avoid detection.
So PLEASE tell me again why he should LIVE? Go ahead....TRY IT.

I have been judged, as fairly liberal, but here is where I get hardcore straight up evil. I have a son and 2 daughters. Anyone, and I mean anyone did anything like that to my kids, they would hope and pray for a swift death.
And all the people foaming at the mouth at this crime (which is horrendous) might do well to accept that your initial reaction may not be the most appropriate.

Lets not forget that I never defended this guy, or committed his crimes, so just because you can't yell directly at him, don't vilify me in his place.
Now that that's out of the way, lets look at this logically instead of passionately shall we?
So far, the argument is that this crime leads to much harsher crimes (although if you read the article you'd see that he had previous convictions for rape and attempted rape, which might have a better chance at arguing for a death sentence).
However, since not all cases of possession of this type of material leads to rape and murder, we can't punish for what someone 'might' do. Otherwise, we might as well execute a pot smoker for his possible future crimes of murder and gang violence.

Morley, 64, of Greenford, Middlesex, pleaded guilty to 50 counts of distributing, making and possessing hundreds of indecent images of children between January 11 and March 6 this year.

whereas every possessor of child porn is at least thinking about offending.

In fact, I can safely say that many people who posess (i admit, not involving babies, but young children and teens) child pornography would never consider doing anything themselves.
