Frankly you are sarge...

what worries me is that you seem to feel a certain satisfaction that a child was put to death. The murder was a tragedy. If the child is executed it is a double tragedy. Not a source of satisfaction.
Justice may have been done by the letter of the law. But how do you know what the kid went through before he went and did somthing as crazy as this. Fact is you don't, so you don't really know if life was fair to the kid. Granted killing another human is not excusable, no matter what trauma you have experienced. But maybe he didn't deserve to die.. fact is we only know the facts of the case. Not the facts of the kid's life
