    If this guy has any feelings at all, he will remember this sweet baby every moment of his life. If not, I hope the image of the horrible, unforgivable things he did haunt him.

    So sad helpless baby. Breaks my heart. Judge better give him life & never see the light of day.

    There should be no appeals or a stay of execution. This person needs to be dead and not be a drain on society any more than has already been done.

    Sounds like murder plain and simple to me. It’s not like the infant could take him on. These guys really need to just go to Stark and be executed.
