Petit Murder Trial: Coroner Describes Teen Girl's Death in Fire

Dr. William Petit and several of his family members walked out of court today, some of them in tears, unable to listen to the coroner's testimony describing the final moments of his teenage daughter who died in a fire set by a pair of robbers.

Hayley Petit, 17, died along with her younger sister, Michaela, on July 23, 2007, tied to their beds in a suburban Connecticut house splashed with gasoline. Their mother, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, was raped and strangled before the house was set ablaze.

Bring these two to Maryland. Put them in a cage with child-killer.

Tell them the last one standing gets released.

When the lone winner is standing there alive, say, oops, I lied.

Then shoot him in the forehead.

That was one of the most terrible things I have ever read.

Neither of those men deserves to live and neither deserves to die easily.

I'm 6'2", 240 pounds and I just cried reading that.

take both defendants out behind the courthouse and kill them immediately. They will now do nothing but cost the taxpayers millions for trials, appeals, and food. Cut our losses. It's very sad that people don't recognize the need to have a firearm at the ready everywhere they go. Can you imagine how the outcome of this situation would have been different if the victims had been armed and proficient? I met a guy today who has a holster fastened to the side of an end table next to an easy chair where he sits in his living room. It holds a .357. These criminals would have been dealt with very differently had they decided to break into his house. It would have been over in less than 30 seconds.
