no offense, but how did she get pregnant anyways? shes liek disbaled and has a childlike mind right?

I live in Mississippi. Let me get on this jury, I've already heard all I need to hear for the death penalty, much less a conviction.

 If she was being forcibly contained and physically abused, it was most likely rape.

personally I think the death penalty is too good for them.  It would be much more appropriate if they had bbs shot at them, where scalded with hot water, starved, and beaten while being kept in a prison.

 Scaphism would be an appropriate death penalty for them

Scaphism, also known as the boats, is an ancient Persian method of execution designed to inflict torturous death. The name comes from the Greek word skaphe, meaning "scooped (or hollowed) out" and from Latin word meaning "boats".

The naked person would be firmly fastened within a back-to-back pair of narrow rowboats (or in some variations a hollowed out tree trunk), the head, hands, and feet protruding from this improvised container. The condemned was forced to ingest milk and honey to the point of developing severe diarrhea, and more honey would be rubbed on his body so as to attract insects to the exposed appendages. They would then be left to float on a stagnant pond (or alternately, simply exposed to the sun somewhere). The defenseless individual's feces accumulated within the container, attracting more insects, which would eat and breed within his or her exposed (and increasingly gangrenous) flesh. Death, when it eventually occurred, was probably due to a combination of dehydration, starvation and septic shock.

In other recorded versions, the insects did not eat the person; biting and stinging insects such as wasps, which were attracted by honey on the body, acted as the torture.

Death by scaphism is painful, humiliating, and protracted. Plutarch writes in Artaxerxes that Mithridates, sentenced to die in this manner for killing Cyrus the Younger, survived 17 days before dying.^[1]

Than didnt make me Angry or Sad at all :) Im still happy

That is pretty fucked up. I don't know what would be worse for these guys, spending the next 40+ years of their life in a 5x8 cell or know that a group of people set a time for you to die. If it is the death penalty though, they should do what the comedian Ron White says. Set the execution at 1 AM in the morning the morning they set the clocks forward. Jail keeper walks by, well, you got 1 more hour to live, oh, sorry we set the clocks ahead an hour asshole, time to die.

my grandparents live in alton, what a shithole of a town. if you know alton this isnt suprising.

Damn, that's distugsing.

I can't even imagine what it would be like.

Never is the theory that humans are above animals shown to have more holes than when something like this happens. How can any species claim that it is superior to all other life on the planet when they can actively and willingly engage in such horrendous acts? To say that it's an isolated incident does not change that it was human beings that did it.

This didn't take place in Mississippi.  It took place on the Mississippi River, north of St. Louis, so either in Missouri or Illinois.

And I'm highly in favor of the death penalty in this instance.
