So because after he sexually brutalized this child he didn't kill her, it should be a mitigating factor at his trial? The law says the two acts are equitable, and this man deserves much more than he's getting. Which let me remind you is a cozy bed and candy bars every week and fun times watching T.V. and being coddled by correctional officers. Meanwhile this poor child is going to live in fear for the rest of her life, among other problems she is sure to face because of his abuse. I think the death penalty would be too kind for people like him.
