New commits are often suicide risks. Unfortunate event all around.
I was molested as a child by a family member and other cousins of mine as well. The pain will last forever. He made the choice to take his life probably because he knew what he did was unforgivable. Someone killed my family member so I guess he got paid back for all the horrible he did to more than one child ! I think sexual predators should be executed. No excuses for commiting such a bad thing !
new him and lived near him never thought in a million years anything like this was going on in his life did not seem like the type of person who would ever hurt his on children from what i saw. So sad that he was not able to get help avoided punishment in this life and victims get a double dose of pain…..very selfish way out and now can Never be let into GODs forgiveness and kingdom. you only get this one life and no matter what you do this is not the way to handle a problem. this is coming from someone who has done his fair share of jail time.praying for everyone that is case. PLEASE PRAY……….. Psalms 23 27
Remember….he was being held on a “charge”- he hadn’t had his day in court yet…I think, if I’m not mistaken, he’s suppose to be considered innocent, until proven guilty…it does sound like there was a domestic component at play here…perhaps it would have been better to have learned all sides of the story before passing “judgement”….also, how do we know that he was in a cell by himself? Perhaps someone decided to be judge, jury and executioner.
Gop I agree with Tom. He got what he wanted. Chapter closed for him. Now hope the victims can get the mental health they will need from his actions.
Prayers to his family for losing their Son.hopefully his victims can recover from the pain and suffering.this is never good news to hear..
Tom..I understand your point of view, but I would have rather seen em get the mental health care they obviously needed.
Just saved taxpayers a lot of money
