    This is breaking news so not much detail yet. A 41 yr old man has been questioned and charged over Daniel's abduction and murder nearly 8 years ago.

    There is meant to be an announcement about this development sometime tonight.

    Here's hoping it's the right guy and he can be put away.

    Just read that the police are gearing up to search some bushland for the remains. This animal should be put down....there is no need for us to pay for this animal to live out his days in a cushy jail.

    Are you suggesting that they make a retroactive law?

    I am saying they should let this animal have his day in court and if found guilty hang him...
    Why should our tax dollars pay for animals like this to live out their days in prison?

    So you are suggesting an unconstitutional law.

    Rather than go round in circles with you trying to be a smartass how about we do this...
    You tell me WHY we should keep animals like this alive, why our tax dollars should be spent doing so and what BENEFIT there is to society as a whole by keeping such scum alive in a prison...

    Because it'd be against the law and it'd be unconstitutional to make a law and retroactively apply it.

    You didnt address the questions put to you. Please try again
    It should be law already..and i am sure that if left for 10 mins in a room with any normal human this animal would no longer be a problem for the rest of us.

    No, I'm pretty sure that normal people don't kill others.

    So you have a view on this but cant give u the reasons for it other than the very simplistic ones??
    I will ask you again.
    What BENEFIT is there to keeping this animal alive in prison? WHY should our tax dollars pay for this animal to live out his days after he committed such a crime?
    If it was up to the politically correct feel good bleeding heart always someone else to blame for ones problems crowd no one in this would would be held to account for their actions. That is why we have such problems. We have gone way too soft on such crimes for way too long. If you kill a child then you SHOULD be put to death, if you rape a child you should be put to death. Why is that such a hard thing for the bleeding hearts of this world to understand?

    Giving the state the power over life and death of its citizens is, imho, just asking for trouble.

    Keeping these animals in prison for the rest of their days while WE the taxpayer funds it is worse. In the past few years we have seen some of the worst crimes against children and yet the people that have done these crimes get to live out their lives in a comfy prison cell? That is not justice.

    It's good that we've already decided that he's guilty and what his punishment should be. That's really rational.

    I don't know exactly how it would work in our system, but it's often cheaper for life imprisonment than it is for execution - due to all the appeals.

    If you are worried about cost to the taxpayer, execution is still not the way to go.

    If we take the US as an example a lot of people on death row are being cleared due to new evidence, corrupted DAs, etc. The US is also apparently close to admitting that it has executed innocent people.

    No appeals no mercy none of that cr@p.. Found guilty in the court then taken straight to the gallows. Its not just the cost its the insult to all those affected by what these animals do. Good case in point is that idiot that threw his daughter off the westgate bridge. Why the hell should we pay to keep him alive..what he did was beyond wrong it was horrifying and yet he is alowd to live in the comfort of a prison cell with all the mod cons. His surviving children ( that seen what happened) and his ex wife have to live with the pain of this forever.

    Yeah, because we should have LESS safeguards when taking a life.

    What an idiotic way to run a system of JUSTICE.

    It's justice to kill someone without making 100% sure (which is impossible) that they're actually guilty?

    Can you even spell logic without a dictionary next to you?

    If they are convicted by a jury of their peers its good enough for me.
    How about the ones that have been PROVEN either by their own admissions or by a court using DNA and such. You think its right for these animals to continue to live? Political correctness gone mad...
    Kill a child and you forfeit your life.. make it law and watch the child kill rates go right down.
