  1. Just watched this case on Nightmare Next Door. The thing that really got to me, besides the rape and murder of the 12 year old daughter, was the baby being left in the crib for days, hungry, crying and probably wondering why mama wasn’t coming. That just broke my heart. And the murderer was a convicted child rapist. Why do we ever let these perverts out of prison? Everyone knows they’re just going to do it again. This time around he still only gets life. How many children do you have to rape/kill to get the death penalty in Massachusetts? I live in Texas where we get a lot of criticism for the most executions but, if you ask me, a lot more need to happen.

  3. If I remember correctly, he wasn’t related to his victims. He was a convicted child rapist who sometimes stayed with his girlfriend. The girlfriend lived in the same neighborhood as the victims.
    Perhaps, the rapist saw the little girl in the neighborhood and decided to rape her. The whole thing is very sad, especially when the law doesn’t provide for the only equitable penalty in a case like this—which would be death.
