Did this Entwistle person really think he could kill his wife and precious baby daughter and leave the country and just get away with it? It is so difficult to comprehend that there are real people in this world that do such horrible things, and it's not just something we see in the movies. What possesses a person to want to do such a horrific thing in the first place? What kind of sick mind would look that precious little baby girl in the face and shoot her? God it makes me just want to cry. His lawyer was complaining that he can't get a fair trial because of all the media coverage. Boo hoo hoo. Why should he get a trial at all? That poor little baby didn't. His trusting wife didn't. Take him out back and shoot him in the head, that's what I say. No wait, a quick painless death is way more than this scumbag deserves. (Sorry, rant over. Obviously I had the "news" on again this morning! Gotta stop that.) |

He should be forced to play Russian Roulette once a day until he eventually loses.... |

I like that one Scrotis. Or perhaps he should just be shot in each of his extremities and left to bleed to death! Russian Roulette, while psychologically painful, involves no physical pain. |

I agree Me, it broke my heart when I read about it. He is a sick bastard and deserves to be put in jail and raped and beat by those guys who supposedly do that to other guys in prison. |

From what I hear, those guys in prison give good continuous "beat downs" to those in there for crimes against women and ESPECIALLY children. The guy that just got locked up for abusing and killing that little girl from New York got a series of horrendous butt-kickings! That kind of crime is sickness beyond my comprehension... |

Meand, while I agree with you emotionally, he should get a trial because we are a nation of laws, not Men (and Women). We don't get to make up the rules (at least, not some basic rules) as we go along. |

Evidently the guy used his father-in-law's gun for the shootings. Traces of DNA from him and his wife were found on the gun. His actions before and after the murders practically scream "I DID IT!!!!!!!" While he has been tried in the media and in the public, we are not vigilantes. Yes, he does not deserve to live after this heinous act. However, our laws say that even a like this deserves a fair trial, so that's what they have to give him. Ugh. Certainly the other inmates will give him what he really deserves. |

Really just venting Rastro. I know we are a nation of laws, but I just don't see why baby murderers should be allowed to benefit from them. Can't think of anything lower than killing an infant. |

I heard that he submitted a plea of "not guilty" today. At least he let his wife die immediately with a shot to the head...he let his daughter die over the course of a few minutes with a shot to the abdomen. What a jerk. |

He seems like an attractive enough young man. I am sure he will enjoy his time in prison. |

Depending on the evidence presented by the prosecutor, this guy may cop a plea prior to a trial. However, MA is not a death penalty state so he may roll the dice. As a parent, I hope that this guy ends up the joy toy of some 300+ lbs. behemoths in prison, if he's found guilty...

Let's all hope real hard that this mentally ill sociopath gets repeatedly raped in prison, that'll settle the score! I'm just sorry that we live in the USA and we can't gather in the village square and bugger the bastard ourselves. Who's with me?

You gotta love those non-death penalty states. This guy will sit in prison for a few decades and then the so called "good hearted" folks of Massachusetts will see this little old man sitting in a cell who isn't a threat to anybody. Then either a wacko Governor will pardon him or the liberal parole board will let him out. I hope all of you anti death penalty folks remember this guy the next time they allow an old killer who was sentenced to life walk out of prison. I hope you have the same outrage.

Where's the outrage when someone sits in prison for decades and then it turns out he was innocent? I have not followed the story at all and hardly know what you all are talking about. What I do know is that an accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty after trial not determined to be guilty by the media! That goes for this guy the same as for Scooter Libby. |

While he may be innocent until proven guilty, in cases like this it is almost always the husband that did it (O.J. Simpson notwithstanding)! Not to mention it seems Entwistle did a really crappy job trying to "cover up" his crime, and it appears all the evidence points to him. |

It actually doesn't seem like he tried hard at all to cover up his crime, pointing to the liklihood that he is very mentally ill. Remember Andrea Yates? What did people think of her? Did people also post wishes that she be raped in prison? I know people are going to accuse me of being a liberal weenie, but these kind of statements are really freaking me out. |

Andrea Yates may have had a very valid excuse if, in fact, she suffered from post partum psychosis--a real and frightening mental illness. And if, in fact, she got no help whatsoever from her husband, the father of her four children. Her, I just feel very, very sorry for. |

How the hell can anyone feel sorry for Andrea Yates?? She DROWNED her children, for God's sake. Same with that monster down in the Carolinas who strapped her two boys into their car seats and then let the car roll into the lake. Cry me a river over her "post partum psychosis" and "no help from her husband". If anyone deserves to be "taken out back and shot in the head" it's those two. |

mwsilva, ok, so baby murders don't get the benefits of our laws. How about rapists? Who do you need to rape to be excluded? How about murdering the sole parent of a child? At what point does your victim's age allow you to be punished without a trial? The whole point is that until they have a trial (or at least plead guilty), we don't KNOW they committed the crime. The laws are there to cover everyone, so that there is no selective enforcement, and that we have all the facts (or at least enough to make a determination) before rendering punishment. |

Bettina, I had the same thought. I think the guy had some sort of mental breakdown. That doesn't mean he shouldn't be punished, but it is something to think about when carrying on as though this guy is Hitler-lite. |

The crime is clear and the legal punishment will follow, as it should. Everyone is entitled to presumption of innocence and a fair trial. Lynching the prisoner (which is what some of the previous posters are really asking for) ultimately results in more injustices to the unfairly or wrongly accused.

mwsilva, I misread your comment. My point was that you cannot say certain crimes deserve immediate punishment, without a trial, while others do get one. Either all criminals have access to a trial, or none do. |

Andrea Yates had schizophrenia, by the way, alhtough she may have been suffering from postpartum depression as well. Also, in fact her husband was incredibly supportive and is supportive to this day (okay, he divorced her but who can blame him) and helped her get out of prison. Schizophrenia is a disease which causes people to lose contact with reality. I"m sure plenty of people have attempted to use mental illness as an excuse for whatever they did, but people who really have schizoprenia are truly, severely ill (although most people with this illness are not violent). MBJ, I'm pretty sure Andrea Yates would have wanted to be shot in the head. |
