He deserves it. Why anyone would do such a thing to a little girl is beyond me. My heart goes out to the little girl's mother.

As far as I know he could be playing Monopoly and the same would happen.

The guy is completely sick and I pray that something like that never happen again to any other woman in this world.

God Have Mercy on Us.

The only way I could see people disagreeing with this is the length. Twenty years, are you kidding me? (I wasn't one of those disagrees, just trying to rationalize their thoughts)

He should have got the chair. Taking a child's life is the absolute low if you ask me. They didn't even get to grow to experience their first kiss etc etc. I think killing is wrong in general but, killing a child seems to carry more weight then killing a full grown adult that can at least fend for themselves.

And you are a complete idiot, making such a statement, this is no time to make foolish fanboy comments! Do you think that you are funny and making people laugh?

If so you are sadly mistaken my obvious fanboy friend.

I hope the guy gets everything he deserves behind bars.. and i think some of the hardcore inmates in there will not be to happy to hear that he did that to a baby, he will need protection for sure.. i hope he doesn't get it. What a fiend!!!

EDIT: i wish people could not leave anonymous agree/disagree.. would show the idiot or idiots who are disagreeing with all the proper comments made.

I hope something bad happens to you and someone makes a joke out of it.

12 - Don't worry
He'll get what's coming to him, good ol' prison justice. It's a lot worse than the chair.

My uncle works in a high-security correctional facility, he says baby killers/rapers usually get beaten or raped 3-5 times a week...It usually ends up in suicide, even my Criminal Law teacher tells me that.

Word gets around fast in a prison...believe that. He'll definitely get it worse if they find out it was over something so trivial as a broken xbox.

God I hope don't end up working in a place like that as well. My uncle has some pretty crazy/awful stories about that place.
