    It makes me sick to the core to see that this animal could be out roaming our streets again before he is 50 . He deserved nothing less than life with no leave to appeal how could any family have any faith in our justice system.

    If he was in the USA he would never again see the outside world. A lot of prisons there have gangs inside that hate pedophiles and will do their best to kill them while they are in there. Proper order too.

    Considering that 20 years is standard jail time for murder cases, I think that the sentence handed down to this man was a fair one.

    Executing this man would solve nothing. Capital punishment is not a solution nor a deterant, and two wrongs never make a right.

    This sicko raped a 13 year old child and an 85 year old lady. He could be out in less than 16 years. How could anyone say that his sentence was fair. Personally, I think the death sentence would be too good for him. He should be in jail, living in fear every day for the rest of his life.

    I know what he did and yes he's a perverted sicko with a very broad sexual appetite.
    Although its not an excuse for what he committed, the man is an alcoholic however and therefore wasnt entirely in control of himself. Also, 16 years, let alone 21, is a very long time to spend in jail, especially for a perverted rapist.
    The sentencing was at least more proportionate to what you're suggesting should have been given to him, ie. the death penalty.
    Thats my opinion.
