If he functions well enough to have a girlfriend and a relationship. He’s certainly not retarded. To rape and murder your girlfriends daughter takes conscious thought and planning. More than enough for a 1st degree murder conviction. The sentence appears appropriate and should be carried out as soon as possible.

Send the bastard to The Bull! I’ve several snakes and a pair of Great Danes in need of a meal. Anything left the bloody ‘gators can have!

I don’t care if his IQ was 70, 50, or freakin’ 2! He did the crime he does the time. Period.

Bull, out!

“He’s transparently childlike and simple,” she said. “It’s a travesty.”

No, this is the travesty:

On April 30, 1997, Woods entered the home of his ex-girlfriend, Schwanna Patterson, through an open window. He then beat and sexually assaulted Patterson’s 11-year-old daughter, then abducted her and her nine-year-old brother and took them to a cemetery. There, Woods severely beat the boy about the head, resulting in serious injury and murdered the girl by cutting her throat.

Why is this so difficult for these people to understand? Murder is murder. Add sexual assault and kidnapping of an eleven year old girl and the decision becomes clear:
Genesis 9:6
6 If anyone takes a human life, that person’s life will also be taken by human hands. For God made human beings in his own image. (NLT)

I think you got it right Katie. Except I think the PC term is “challenged”. I don’t go PC though, because I have been around people who were classified mentally retarded all my life and I never considered that to be negative in light of most of them have other gifts, like Rose. She has a great heart and a work ethic that puts most young people to shame. It’s like if they aren’t gifted intellectually, they always have other gifts that come through.
My close friend growing up had a sister who was adopted and was mentally retarded due to her Mom being the victim of being drugged, raped and left in a ditch for dead. The part of her brain that wasn’t damaged… she had a photographic memory and could play piano beautifully. Left wingers don’t bother to figure these things out, because as you say, they like victimhood so much!!!!

Way to go HoosierArmyMom. I know where all the bleeding hearts were. They were keeping God out of our schools and pushing for victimhood for those with retardation. Sorry must not call it that. What is it that we call it now? Oh yes. Slowness.

I present this to bleeding hearts. My parents took on a foster child after I married. Rose was a victim of alcohol fetal syndrome. She had deformed knees, cerebral palsy and was mildly retarded. Mom worked painstakingly to teach her how to walk and control her muscles. She taught her social skills and through the workshop and my mother, Rose grew into an independent living, hard working woman. She has worked religiously at a McDonald’s for many years now. My siblings and I have seen to it she is cared for and is present at all family functions and church since my parents passed away. Since she has gotton older she struggles with a cane to walk because knee replacement isn’t an option for her deformity. She never misses work or church services. She never complains. She doesn’t blame her mother for being an alcoholic, she just pursues what success she can in her life. Rose is a wonderful, good hearted gal and a credit to my wonderful mother.

My question to those who think that a retarded man who murders an 11 year old girl should not be sentenced to death for the crime, because he is retarded…. Well, rather than assume that his retardation is an excuse, why don’t you try asking yourself… where were all the bleeding hearts when this young man was a child???? Who was available to help him learn right from wrong??? My family did it with Rose and she is a good, moral woman and a responsible citizen. Retardation only becomes an EXCUSE for those who aren’t prepared to inconvenience themselves to help build a responsible citizen with a conscience!!! JMHO!!!

I should have said, some misguided so-called conservatives. See where you’re coming from Fred. I personally know a few of these.

Oh shucks. Just too late. What an amazing shame. As far as the attorneys are concerned, it’s a shame they couldn’t make some more BILLABLE HOURS off his case.

LET HIM FRY! That is what I say. Here the liberals go again, making the criminal the victim. This is liberalism 101.
