His life is toast and I hope he burns in Hell.
They need to bring back hanging as a capital punishment. Seriously, this is a cut and dry case. The monster admits to the act, so he should die as soon as the judge makes the verdict official. Fuck this mental facility bullshit, or doing time in prison (both at the expense of taxpayers)
Nobody sane, even this guy's family, would say that a hanging would be "unjust". Hell, even a firing squad. Just kill the fuckers already!
