Ariel Castro agrees to life without parole without trial
Quote:
Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro accepted a plea deal today that sends him to prison for life plus "not less than 1,000 years" with no chance of parole for abducting three women and keeping them as sex slaves for over a decade.
"I'm fully aware and I do consent to it," Castro said at a hearing today in a Cuyahoga County court. The deal will spare him from the possibility of facing the death penalty.
"I knew I was pretty much going to get the book thrown at me," Castro, 52, told the court.
The agreement as explained by prosecutors would sentence Castro to no "less than 1,000 years" in prison after completing a first sentence of life with no chance of parole.
"You understand by accepting this plea, you're accepting life without parole," Judge Michael Russo asked Castro. "You'll never leave prison alive."
"Yes, I do," replied Castro.
The former school bus driver was accused of the aggravated murder of a fetus after forcibly causing an abortion in one of his victims that he is accused of impregnating. That charge would have carried the death penalty had he been convicted.
He had previously pleaded not guilty to nearly 1,000 counts of kidnapping, rape and other crimes.
This is good news. No trial turned media sensation. A just punishment. An appropriate end to this grim saga.

Glad he plead guilty. Glad he'll be in prison for the rest of his life.
Why not? Paying for him to be in prison for 35 years is Justice?
Let's just chop off his head and be done with it before he gets cancer and taxpayers end up paying for his million dollar a year healthcare costs.
It's these cases where it's no question, no doubt, he did it. He's guilty...no question. Off with his head and that's it.

Because killing him, rather than letting him rot in prison like he did to those women, is too easy of a punishment.

Eh, I understand a moral opposition to the death penalty, but I do believe the knowledge you are going to be led into a room and injected with a heart-stopping poison concoction is a harsher punishment than life in prison, which, particularly if he is in solitary in a maximum-security facility, will no doubt ultimately become a relaxing routine for him, one in which he can sleep, read, exercise, masturbate, have consistent meals, etc. It definitely will not be equivalent in any way to the sexual, otherwise physical, and mental torture he inflicted upon the the women during their imprisonment in his home.

You think so? He will most likely be raped day in day out in prison. Seems worse.

Easy? Who cares? I'd rather it cost a few hundred dollars than a million dollars.

But he preferred life in prison to the possible death penalty, based on his plea. So from his perspective, he may see lifetime imprisonment a lesser punishment than the death penalty.

That is probably because he hasn't been raped much before...

Maybe he's masochistic and takes joy from getting raped. Sadism and masochism often come in pair.

This assumes he will ever be in general population. Most famous criminals, such as Charles Manson, are protected from other prisoners who would try to achieve notoriety and in-house status by hurting them (as with the murder of Jeffrey Dahmer).

Re: Ariel Castro agrees to life without parole without trial
I hope the three women heal and enjoy life as much as possible.
As for the abductor, I don't have strong opinion about what to do with him. I wouldn't personally want to punish him as I have no standing to exert justice. If I were to make a decision for the court, I would sentence him to life.
What do you guys think? Do you feel strongly about the punishment?

Amanda Berry makes her first public appearance since her ordeal. She already seems to be moving on and getting out there living life. Commend these women's bravery and strength.

and what should the punishment be for these creeps...
From Google - POST WIRE REPORT Last Updated: 11:16 AM, July 29, 2013
More than 100 missing teens were rescued this weekend from sex trafficking, the FBI announced today. The FBI said 105 kids, the youngest of which was 13, were picked up in a massive raid coordinated over 76 cities. The raid netted 150 alleged pimps, said Ronald Hosko, assistant director of the FBI's criminal investigative division.
Re: Ariel Castro agrees to life without parole without trial
I'm not sure this is good news. It's not bad news, as he's being punished, but 10 years of torture would be good news to hear. No...actually. The punishment should always be greater than the crime, so...torture for the rest of his life...that would be more fitting.

No torture. No death.
Life in prison.

So he ruins the lives of 3 girls, and you'd reward him for that? Giving him Sky TV, regular food, a steady job, free amenities...
My way is more fair. Crunch his balls with a sledgehammer. Daily. Then his toes. Then his fingers. Then slice his tongue in two, force tabasco in his mouth. Then deep throat him with a cactus.

Why just chopped off? That's like 3 seconds of pain.
Nah...I'd have it torn off.

I feel fairly safe in assuming there is more than three seconds after such an amputation.
