I am a firm believer in capital punishment for most deaths including manslaughter, however, I really get annoyed when people called these murderers evil etc.
They are just humans, and had problems. This guy had problems.
Are you for real.
He tortured the child over a period of a month. He inflicted 107 separate injuries. Her arms and legs were broken. Note the plural. The girl had been battered with a pole. She had been put in a tumble drier. She died after fat deposits from her broken bones got into her bloodstream.

Unbelieveably I think he is indeed for real.......sick isn't it? How he can say that doing all the above is "not evil" is beyond absurdity and fathoming.
I think thats my point. The endless view that this is evil.
What is evil?
The Moors Murderers could be defined as evil. The consioulsy took children to a far off place, tortured them and recorded it. This would be a fair description of evil. Ina Brady would argue that he has an unalienable right as a human to carry out such actions. If you cant understand his argument then you are lacking, in my opinion. But what he did was evil.
This guy progressivly lost control over an extended time. How often did he repent and treat the child, try to make it better? The time probably went by quite quickly. He probably began to not care, but subconciously hoped the child would not die.
The court ruled. Justice was done.
Perhaps if he was sent to Iraq to bomb children his 'evil' would have been seen in a better light?

What I got out of your post. He just took it too far....too far, in torturing for over a month, a toddler, who couldn't run nor hide from his torture. Too far...in *killing* no, beating to death, a toddler, over a hideously long period of time.
You say he just took it....TOO FAR....
How far would have been OK by your standards...huh....
The fact, that you empathize with this...evil monster...I can't wrap my head around that...

Its actually pretty simple.
Too far in that he caused DEATH.
Thats opposed to people that abuse their children and dont cause DEATH and as such dont get caught and as such are otherwise described as normal respectable parents.
Asuse happens alot, and most of it doesnt get punished as they dont result in DEATH.
Should be pretty simple to understand something like that.

You need a description of evil? really?
23 years being coddled and seperated from violent people in jail is not justice in response to the month long torture and eventual death of an innocent child! WTF planet do you live on?
and no, if one's intent is to bomb children it would indeed NOT be looked upon in a better light.
For your benefit, This is from Merriam Webster's Dictionary.
Evil
Definition of EVIL
1
a: morally reprehensible : sinful, wicked
b: arising from actual or imputed bad character or conduct
2
aarchaic: inferior
b: causing discomfort or repulsion : offensive
c: disagreeable
3
a: causing harm : pernicious
b: marked by misfortune : unlucky
It kind of seems to me that what he did actually fits several definitions of evil on LOTS of levels. To argue otherwise is either ignorant, illogical or both.

Just wanted to let you know. Reading that reply you wrote...made me sick to my stomach.
I can see you being a lucrative defense attorney. For the likes of Casey Anthony....
