Just so you know.

We KNOW he is guilty as he, himself has confessed to the crime.
Yes he should have a trial but if he is found innocent it isn't because there isn't enough evidence but because he has money. This is why many people including myself are so frustrated.

You may not like this but a confession means nothing, a confession can be forced from anyone.
Let me be clear, my personal opinion is that the weight of evidence is really against him, but it is wrong how so many people on this thread happily abandon the idea of a fair trial. That is my issue.

The confessionS...plural...were not forced. Read about them and view them so you can see for yourself.

Ok so lets abandon the idea of a court and just punish those we perceive to have done wrong based on gut reaction. That is what you are asking for. Such reactions feel great but are not the mark of a society that carefully dispenses punishment.
If he is found to be guilty then he should be left to rot in a jail until he dies and i won't feel anything for the man, until then he should be afforded the same legal rights that you or i would if accused of something. It's kind of sad you so readily wish for his punishment without proper legal process.

Of course the creature should be sent through a "proper" trial first. After all, we must treat him like a human being, no matter how vile he is. I'm just making the valid point justice isn't fair in this world. I was making sure you were aware of that.
lack of empathy combined with strongly amoral conduct, masked by an ability to appear outwardly normal.
Psychopaths "use charisma, manipulation, intimidation, sexual intercourse and violence" to control others and to satisfy their own needs.
"Lacking in conscience and empathy, they take what they want and do as they please, violating social norms and expectations without guilt or remorse".

The idea that justice is not fair in this world is universal and the fact you felt the need to make that point is pathetic. Anyone who lives knows that legal punishment does not always equal justice. So why bother making the point
Visceral reaction is so easy, logic is rarely used.
