My 15 year old daughter was raped but thank goodness she didn't suffer the fate of the Pena and Ertman girls. My heart aches for their parents and what they have had to endure. Going back to court each time one of those bastards wins an appeal and another time in court must be pure hell for them, allowing them no closure and no peace. Losing a child is a parent's worst nightmare but especially in such a sadistic, terrifying manner must be almost impossible to live with.DUSTY ROSE MARIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936191114678131655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17213045.post-21300322361835775962008-08-07T04:48:00.000-05:002008-08-07T04:48:00.000-05:00I've always supported the death penalty, especiall...I've always supported the death penalty, especially in extreme circumstances such as this.<BR/><BR/>Prison is no different than torture in some of these cases.

I used to drive a member to visit and went in also to avoid waiting in the car in the Texas heat.Several of the death row inmates told of how the murderers boasted of the rape/murders and regaled others with details of their actions as if they had done a great, macho deed.<BR/><BR/>One of the juveniles had been a student of my friend, "Professor" Bob. Bob had mentored the boy, met his mother and dined with them on a number of occasions. He said the juvenile was a "sweet, good boy and good student, very loving and respectful to his mother".Too bad he failed to be sweet and good and respectful to other females. Bob was very shocked when he read the news of the boy's involvement in such a terrible, vicious crime.<BR/><BR/>One of the gang members was suspected of murdering another woman and police had good evidence against him. However, the D.A. believed that the Pena/Ertman case would bring the death penalty and that another prosecution would be redundant. <BR/><BR/>I have ambivalent feelings about the death penalty but in some cases I approve. This is one of them. Right-to-lifers plead that execution is wrong. These two little teen agers had a right to life also. Their sadistic killers forfeited their rights. When executed, there is no possibility that some namby-pamby parole board will release them later upon the public to murder again - as has happened in the past.Worried Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15025693881754554346noreply@blogger.com
