Man who killed pregnant woman and three other children sentenced to die in prison

[Blackleaf]

The 8 girls was the OTHER psychopathic story i posted this evening, - this is the one about the homocidal family annihilator that raped his daughter before killing her , her mother, and 2 other kids one of which was just visiting. I know i know - it's getting hard to keep all the complete psychos out there straight.

The woman Bendall murdered was pregnant with his child when he killed her, and he knew it.

Bendall told cops: "I used a hammer. I did not realise what I did until I walked into my room and saw my missus and my daughter." I don't know why he said that because his child was the unborn one.

Since 1983, around 100 prisoners have been given whole life tariffs in England and Wales. Many of them have committed suicide behind bars - such as serial killer Harold Shipman (2000) and the Freddy Krueger Killer Daniel Gonzalez (2007) - and some have died behind bars by other causes, such as serial child killer Myra Hindley (2002) and serial killer Donald Neilson (2011).

I'm betting this guy will be added to the "other causes" list.

It's a pleasant notion that people who committed particularly heinous or shocking crimes are beaten, abused, or murdered by other prisoners.

I've never seen evidence to support the proposition. And without such evidence, I decline to trust the story that the righteous, upstanding population of hard-timers is so civic-minded.

I've heard it said that how you got into prison doesn't matter, your status in the population is determined by your conduct in prison.

I agree with you on that, although some would say spending the rest of your life in prison is a worse punishment than the death penalty.

And while he may very well deserve it ( i'd happily put a bullet in his head and sleep like a baby that night for what he's done), giving the state the power of death over the citizens is a bad move. At least with 'true life' if it turns out later that the state or it's agents screwed up either by accident or intent then you can at least undo some of the damage and give them their freedom. There's just too many cases of the gov't or the cops fabricating or hiding evidence and good guys getting convicted for years till the truth comes out.

I too support a true life sentence over death penalty. Not 25 years or any chance of parole but locked up until you die.

Or until the government kicks you out of prison to avoid paying the medical costs associated with advancing age, like they do down hereabouts.

Still better than them putting a bullet in your head because some cop decided it was easier to fake evidence you were guilty or bury evidence of your innocence than to actually do his job.

But yeah - there's always some left wing jerk of a judge somewhere who thinks it's cruel to lock people up just because they murdered and raped their family and some other kid who happened to be visiting. Can't be cruel to that person now can we

I would be ok just withholding the medical care. Let them die of natural/unnatural causes in their cell.

That actually is "cruel and unusual punishment," forbidden by international and U.S. law. That's why they kick 'em out of jail.

You are kind of generous with taxpayer's money. I'm in favour of the death penalty in cases where there is no doubt. Video tape or caught red handed would work for me.

Always technicalities. I suppose releasing them at 30,000 feet without a parachute is also against the conventions?

Hmm. . . don't know that it's come up. Courts'd have to rule on it.

"How long can you tread water?" Or in this case, air.

Yep. And make it "long ladder, short rope." Ammo's expensive.

We could use them to check out crab traps without the bother of lifting the trap. Give them a logger's necklace and a video camera, and down they go. Pull the camera back when done.

Considering the gov't collects the evidence, there can never be a case where we could possibly entirely trust the evidence. There's always doubt. Even with a confession. It's simply too easy for the state or it's actors to filter what we see. You can not trust the gov't, and if you read some of the stories where they were "010 percent sure" and it turned out later to be proven false - not just questionable but PROVEN that they were innocent - you'd be very nervous about giving them that power.

Locking someone up with zero hope of ever getting out and making him think about what he did every day with no freedom and nothing to look forward to is actually a pretty nasty punishment.

And it's been shown many times that it's actually more expensive to execute a person than to feed him for life on average. And it's a lot easier to get that conviction than a death penalty conviction, so more bad guys wind up taken out of society permanently.

Two big holes in your theory. 1 with our joke of a just us system there is no guarantee that life means life. They also don't have to contribute to their room and board or medical. We pay for that.
. 2 The only reason execution is so painfully slow and expensive to enact is because lawyers have made sucking off the government tit a career enhancer.
