Finally - justice! This should have happened 16 years ago. His last plea - the lawyer said that lethal injection is inhumane - yeah like what he did to those kids wasn't. Sorry if this sounds bitter. I knew one of the kids.

Lethal injection "inhumane"? He dares to make such a claim?
Rolling committed a horrific crime -- I'm glad no more of my tax $$$ will be wasted on him.

He should have burned in the chair like Bundy did. Anyway hes explaining his actions to his Maker now.

Just wondering: why can the US law give one person 5 death sentences? Is one not enough or is there a specific reason?

The defendant recieves a seperate sentence for each crime committed. So if multiple crimes are committed the defendant gets a seperate sentence for each crime. Multiple death sentences arent that uncommon.

Ah, thanks for the explanation, I understand it now. Never heard if this 'multiple sentencing' before. The usual maximum punishment is 20 years here, so I was kinda surprised this is actually possible.

too bad he cant be killed 5 times

Leathal injection inhumane???? Is this dude stoned? For his crimes I say he got off too easy.

I totally agree. the lethal injection was much too humane for the way he tortured, raped and murdered those 5 young people.

I'm not a fan of the death penalty by any means.. But this is 1 of those cases where he would have deserved to be fried.. more like burned to a crisp.

They actually had an interview last night with 1 of our local mets.. who was a student at UF during the Danny Rolling incidents. Scary stuff I'd say..

No, that would be inhumane.

I'm joking.

I just can't fathom how the death penalty has to be humane.
If one is sentenced to death for a heinous crime, then why does the State have to be careful not to "hurt" the person?
Ridiculous..

i agree. he should feel pain. lots and lots of searing pain.

i have always felt when a person is executed they should be executed in the same manner they butchered their victim.

What is horrible is that he "posed" some of them to shock authorities. One victims head was sitting on a shelf surrounded by mirrors. He did that to give an effect through the window.

Christa Hoyt worked for the sheriff's dept. there.

i've been reading alot about what he did Linda.. it's just sick! Stories about what he did to the victims have been in the local papers all week.

Yea Helen I hear u and I understand how u feel. But we do not need to stoop to the same level as the criminals we are executing. Lets either electrocute em, hang em..or inject them. Just remove them from society. Unlike many I do not feel electrocution is inhumane but it is quick. Ditto for hanging.

Looks like Rolling may have confessed to 3 more murders in Shreveport, LA.

Looks to me like he should have successfully killed himself when he was younger or his father should have beat him more...to death. Kids get by with so much these days and parents don't discipline them properly.
