What's with the phrase COULD face the death penalty? My god what do you have to DO in Ohio to get fried?
p.s remind me not to eat at that sausage shop
Did you resent my comment or that Ohio doesn't dish it out more often? If it was me it would be the latter, I wouldn't want my taxes keeping this guy incarcerated for the rest of his miserable existance.
At least Ohio does dish it out unlike our neighboring states.
"One of Sowell's two defense attorneys, John Parker, said Sowell deserved to live because of his troubled childhood in an abusive home, his service in the Marine Corps, his job history and his good behavior while serving 15 years in prison for attempted rape."
It is things like this that make me wish I was a judge. Once the defense attorney said the above, I would ask him to come up to the bench. Then I would ask him, "Did you just say that a person who raped and murdered 11 people should be allowed to live because they had good behavior while they were serving 15 years in prison for attempted rape?" As soon as the attorney said, "Yes, I said that.", I would start hitting him on the head with my gavel until it broke. Then I would give the attorney a year in jail for Contempt of Court.
I couldn't have put it better myself!
Death penalty I love O-H-I-O! We tend not to over turn these penalties.
This case is kinda bizzare to me. He was a US Marine!! My grandfather was a marine for 30 years and my brother-in-law is a marine and I know many more. I can't imagine a marine acting this way. They are typically so loyal to people and so respectful. But aside from that, this guy was HONORABLY discharged...WTF???!!!! He tried to rape a girl and served 15 years for it...how is that honorable? But then it gets worse, he gets out and starts actually raping the girls then killing them! This guy is something else and if it's possible, he should have his honorable discharge revoked and never be referred to as an ex-marine...he really dishonors that title!!

Well the law of averages would suggest that he's probably not the only ex-marine to turn killer.
I vaguely remember something about some ex-Marine named Oswald who shot a man in Dallas, for example. I don't know anything about his discharge status, but I'm sure he's not the only one.
Seriously, maybe Sowell thrived in that environment because he lacked self-discipline and needed a really strict framework to give his life direction and keep his baser urges in check. Plus it would have offered him a way to vent some of his agression in an acceptable manner. Maybe that's one reason why he began to go bad when he left.
In any case, it's a pity that he was seemingly unable to embody the ideals of the Corps in his personal life, unlike your family members and so many other Marines who went on to become a credit to themselves and the Corps in civillian life.

Defending Sowell must be like appearing on the Iron Chef when the ingredients are chittlins, skunk cabbage, and a giant sea bass.
You might be ever so clever, but at the end of the day, the "stuffed sea bass ala Batelli" is still stuffed with chittlins and skunk cabbage. No secret ingredient is gonna fix that.
Just found a slideshow of his home death pics included! Nothing oogy but you've been warned! http://www.14news.com/category/178531/slideshow?widgetid=15458&slideshowimageid=1
He's a shitty housekeeper!
Looks like Cleveland!
He is dead...
