Thanks, Foxfarmboxers, he is beyond human comprehension.

I couldn't get the link to show but I think it's my puter.

[grammybears]

No matter how long it takes to put him to death he will have to ultimately answer to his maker. I thought I had read somewhere that California and Washington were still going to pursue the death penalty in cases where he was involved with the death of I believe 3 more children.

BOISE, Idaho — Confessed child-killer Joseph Edward Duncan III received his final sentences Monday for the torture and slayings of an Idaho family with a judge telling him that his cruel rampage "exceeds the bounds of human understanding."

Six life prison terms in federal and state court were added to the death sentences a federal jury handed Duncan in August. He already is serving three life sentences handed to him by a state judge in 2006 on kidnapping counts.

In May 2005, Duncan kidnapped 9-year-old Dylan Groene, and his sister Shasta, then 8, from their Coeur d'Alene home and held them for weeks in western Montana. He tortured and sexually abused both children, eventually killing Dylan but Shasta was rescued after seven weeks.

Duncan had targeted the children, watching their home and killing their 13-year-old brother, Slade Groene, their mother, Brenda Groene, and her fiance, Mark McKenzie, in order to take the young siblings.

In state court Monday, Duncan was sentenced to three life terms for those murders, a penalty agreed upon mainly to spare Shasta the trauma of testifying. Shortly after that hearing, U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge sentenced Duncan to three federal life terms, one for kidnapping Shasta, and one each for sexually abusing Shasta and her brother.

"By any stretch of the imagination, your rampage ... exceeded the bounds of human understanding," Lodge told Duncan. "These crimes ... were unfathomable, cruel and sadistic."

Prosecutors say the Federal Bureau of Prisons will determine where Duncan, 45, should be held, a decision that may be influenced by whether California authorities pursue criminal charges against him for the 1997 abduction and murder of a 10-year-old boy.

Duncan, a convicted pedophile originally from Tacoma, Wash., has said his violence was motivated by a need to seek revenge on society.
Offered a final chance Monday to explain his actions or offer remorse to Groene relatives, Duncan was unapologetic and instead quoted a biblical passage stating he cared very little about being judged for his crimes.

Duncan had pleaded guilty to 10 federal crimes stemming from his kidnapping and sexual abuse of the children and the slaying of Dylan. Three of those charges qualified for the death penalty, which the federal jury delivered in August.

Prosecutors have said the law requires the multiple death sentences and life terms, and would act as safeguards if convictions or sentences are overturned on appeal.
Duncan has 10 days to file a notice of intent to appeal his federal sentence.
During his federal death penalty hearing, prosecutors spelled out the grim details of the weeks the children were held captive.

Four jurors who decided that sentence attended the sentencing Monday, as did Steven Groene, the father of Shasta, Dylan and Slade.

Lodge ordered Duncan to pay $100,000 in restitution to cover future costs of counseling and treatment for Shasta, though the judge acknowledged Duncan likely is unable to pay.

If any killer deserves the death penalty, Duncan is him. He terrorized his young victims. I hope somewhere down the road some Judge gives it to him.

[foxfarmboxers]

My prayers go out to Shasta.....May God give her strength.

This is one monster that I could personally pull the plug on and never bat an eye or lose a moment's sleep. :mad:

So what does this creature have to do, serve his life sentences first before being put to death? I believe he should just be put to death and save the state loads of money on his sorry arse...He had no compassion for his victims why should the state have any compassion for him??:groan:

[Roamer]

ITA, rem. This man is pure evil, and deserves to die for what he did to all those poor little children.

I don't know why this monster just doesn't plead guilty for murdering Anthony. It just shows how depraved and indifferent he is and imo he wants to get out of prison awhile where he will probably again be his own stupid lawyer and the jury will have to hear all of his weird BS.

Imo, he sees this as nothing but a break from the routine day to day life in prison.

He is one of the most depraved, sick and twisted monsters that has ever crossed paths with adults and innocent children. No telling how many children this sicko has killed. I think he gloats because no one can get into his encryption to find out.

imo

[Tracian]

I think we all remember this story, and the horror of it.

Duncan should have been killed, trying to escape, as he really serves no purpose.

Maybe like Dalmer, he will meet a 'nice' inmate that will put him out of our misery.

6 life sentences,what a joke,why not give the garbage 7.
