So all I have to do to protect my kids from getting the death sentence for whatever crimes they commit is to sexually abuse them when they're little?

Is this the world we want to create?????

Gatis did time at ECI and was one of those Muslims who loves Farrakan; like Obama of course!

Probably 80% of all Americans were either physically or sexually abused but they don't go around killing people. This is a perfect example of your bleeding heart liberals trying to keep a murderer from the death penalty. Tell me what did his girlfriend do to deserve to be murdered by him. I think he should get the death penalty. It gets sort of old making excuses for the criminals.
After awhile they will get off scott free because they couldn't help it they were abused as a kid. Well tough turkey alot of other people were as well. But they became law abiding tax paying citizens. I say kill the SOB just like he killed his girlfriend.

We (the working taxpayers) are more than likely paying his leech for filing the appeal and all of his other "expenses". Kill the bastard and save the people millions.
