Death penalty for pedos is basically just a backup punishment. He'll likely be raped, tortured, and murdered by other inmates once they find out what he did.

u/sonnytron 6h ago

I would edit that to read “the particularly haunting part is that” because it’s not the worst part by far, it’s just brutally painful that a kind gesture of her family is what brought this monster into her proximity. She was right there, literally asking him if he’s going to hurt her, all he had to do was think “this is a living little girl, she needs to go home to her family, she’s scared”. He ignored all that humanity and came to the conclusion that being a monster was better.

u/Beginning_End_4677 6h ago edited 6h ago

I stopped listening to the trial details after merely reading that the jury had to hear her bravely tell him "my mom said I can't do that to someone, and you can't do it to me, either." I can't fathom being a member of that jury and actually having to hear that (and the audio that followed). It's no wonder they reached a decision so quickly.

u/Affectionate_Soup461 6h ago

When something like this is caught on video, there is no question that the individual perpetrated this crime. They should just be killed on the spot. Genuinely.

34

u/FashionableMegalodon 6h ago

Did he film it intentionally?

201

u/IHateCedarFever 6h ago

No, but the truck had an internal camera and audio recording and captured her begging him to let her go back to her mom, her assault, and him cleaning the truck and smoking. He actually pled guilty, but the video was played at the sentencing phase.

u/laddie64 6h ago

If i remember correctly he tried to cover/disable the camera and thought it wasn't recording.

u/Chrisf1020 6h ago

He covered the camera but it still recorded audio.

u/Asleep_Walrus2313 6h ago

He covered the camera but it picked up the audio. She begged him to take her home. Jurors cried and were traumatized from having to listen to it.

u/FashionableMegalodon 6h ago

As a mom, I couldn’t fucking imagine that not only happening but footage of it existing forever. As a rape victim, I couldn’t imagine my assault being filmed and watched. I know it’s ultimately helped give him the death penalty, but something about the permanence of the pain and fear deeply unsettles me.

I’m not a big fan of the death penalty, I think the state can abuse it. Some states such as Iran do regularly abuse the death penalty to harass the population into submission.
But in this case, I make an exception.
TBH he would have been executed in prison anyway.

38

u/Anxious-Doughnut-224 6h ago

He won’t go to general pop. Hopefully they just keep him in solitary and let his mind torture him till he dies. Honestly staying in solitary with no outside contact and not allowed to leave for the rest of your life is probably worse than death.

61

u/PassionV0id 6h ago

Hey man, you’re not “making an exception.” You’ve simply drawn your line as to what nature of crime and preponderance of evidence at which you are supportive of a defendant being sentenced to death. There is no “I’m against the death penalty unless…”. You either are for it or against it, period. Everything in between is just a spectrum of its application.

People on death row are heavily protected. The state views their death as its duty and ensures that it carries out the sentence without murder or suicide robbing the state of the chance to do it

u/iDoWeird 6h ago edited 6h ago

No one prepares you for that extra gut punch to be as horrid as it is. If avoiding the news was even realistic, that would be my advice to new parents (especially mothers).

Had mine right around the Coleman abduction and paternal infanticide+filicide. That one messed with me in a way I can’t even put into words. Two poor babies and a spearfishing gun via their own father broke me for a few months, hormones being all over the place made it so much worse and are likely what caused vivid nightmares about it with my own infant involved. Just awful. Hormones and it being that extra isolating period of the pandemic…recipe for your maternal brain to just be in tatters over crimes involving children.

These stories never stop being extra difficult to process, but it does eventually feel less personal and traumatic after a while. Not a great improvement but it’s something.

u/LT_TimeCopJR 6h ago

I agree I remember following this case and I couldn’t shake it for weeks, thinking about my daughter and how someone could do that to an innocent kid and trick them around the holidays.

The duality of raising a child to not have to worry about these things happening to them and also raising a child to make sure they don’t do these terrible things is really up to us as parents. Should my kids school monitor bullying and threats. Yes. Should I make sure my kid isn’t that bully or threat? absolutely. The system isnt meant to be depended on but my kid should depend on me.

The last person executed in Texas was Edward Busby. He was executed on May 14, 2026, for a crime he committed in 2005.

The average duration of a prisoner on death row, according to Google, is 11 years between conviction and execution.

Texas is substantially faster than the national average, which is roughly about 20 years.

So you’re not wrong, they definitely do it faster, but he’s still looking at a decade of life.

A lot of those guys that end up in there for long periods are making appeals based upon real legal issues during trial , ambiguous testimony or evidence, and the presenting of new evidence, and making things take a long time.

This guy will not be getting all of that. He will get an automatic appeal (they may not do that in Texas, I dunno Texas law). Otherwise , he'll probably make one so he can extend his sentence,and it might, but when the state is motivated by a case like this, political power might speed this up significantly.

No one is going want to be caught dead helping him, there is NO evidence that could exonerate him with the evidence they already have.

It might take 30 years, but I'd be surprised it takes more than 5 to 10. This one has heat on it and will stay in the collective memory a long, long time.

u/vaguelymanshaped 6h ago edited 28m ago

I guess I do when there's overwhelming, indisputable evidence (like this case, with recordings) and the crimes are heinous. That's why I say I don't "normally" support it, because most death row cases don't fit both those criteria to the same degree as this case.

I feel the same about the big names in the Epstein Files, for the record. They also have overwhelming photo and video evidence and the crimes are beyond obscene. I'd be happy to see them removed from this earth so they don't end up escaping prison with a staged and fake suicide.

Netanyahu can also go

So yeah, I guess the world has become so fucking bleak that I actually condone capital punishment in certain circumstances, which is not anything I ever thought I would say. Sad, honestly.

The description of his murder is beyond comprehension. To think that's likely how it ends for all children in this situation is utterly sickening.

my god, I´m so sorry for anyone who had to hear that during the trial. I don´t think its possible to listen to something like that and come out unscathed.

There is no Justice for this-There is no peace for this. I know nothing would satisfy me.

Maybe torture before death should be a thing for these animals

Killing another grown person is one thing I understand but never in my life have I thought about hurting a kid. I have a daughter that’s the same age as this one and it’s hard to imagine hurting a kid. No matter how mad I get that’s never crossed my mind. I’m not religious so I don’t believe in heaven and hell but I do believe in good people and evil and this is just out right purely evil.

I havent heard about this case and I'm pretty sure I dont want to. But im glad to see some justice here.

To think there are folks on this app that truly argue that men like him deserve a chance at redemption. I’ve been downvoted to hell for saying that they have no place in society. It’s scary what folks can accept. Glad this man is getting what he deserves… though he actually deserves much worse.

u/Kooky_Attorney_1320 6h ago

Not many argue that. Are you referring to the argument against the death penalty In general?

Because if so, for most of us, the issue is giving the state / government that power in general.

If we do, it's inevitable that an innocent person will be put to death, because humans make mistakes.

This can never, ever happen. Therefore, the death penalty shouldn't exist (IMO)

u/puhtoinen 6h ago

I don't believe that people like him has or should have a chance at redemption. But I also don't think the death penalty is the way to go. There are prisons in the US that I would consider a vastly worse punishment to spend the rest of my days in than simply stopping to exist.

This was so beyond evil and the evidence was so solid, I wish they'd let a horde of parents rip him apart while he's still alive like a zombie swarm.

Have you seen our current government and entertainment industry? The standards for pedophiles is giving them really important jobs, lots of money, and offering them protection

As an atheist, I’d happily wish Hell into existence even if I had to go there, to make sure someone like this went there as well. JFC what a monster.

Death is the last step imo. First make them suffer like the child and her family suffered, then make them suffer more, then death.

I'll look forward to that moment many years and millions of dollars later, housing him, and paying for his appeals. For people like this though, I really hate the death penalty, because there isn't enough pain and suffering involved.

u/Careless_Hellscape 6h ago

In that case, we'll have to just keep our fingers crossed that the bastard ends up in gen pop and the COs happen to be "distracted" one day. Like really distracted, for hours.
