Man who killed daughter's sexual abuser gets 40-year sentence

BERLIN, Ala. - A man in Alabama was sentenced to 40 years in prison for killing his daughter's sexual abuser.

According to the Cullman Times, the 43-year-old was sentenced for the June 2014 murder of 59-year-old Raymond Earl Brooks.

Pedophiles deserve no mercy. That is just how I feel.

Unless the man was killed while in the PROCESS of abusing his daughter he should face some tie, HOWEVER I DO agree that four DECADES is a little much.

Wow! The Cullman Times made it on CF! I graduated from High School in Cullman County way back in the day.

No, you should not get a medal for premeditated and attended murder.
A more detailed account of the incidents are here.

What's an appropriate sentence for someone who grabs his gun, drives from his house to theirs, try's to shoot another man on the way there then sussesfully shoots and kills a man upon arrival?

say twenty or twenty-five years

From the article, quoting the abuse victim:

"He took my innocence away and only served like 18 months, and now I suffer daily from what Raymond did to me," Jullia Maynor said, adding she suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. "It's not fair."

18 months for sexually abusing a child. 40 years for killing a child sexual abuser. That sound right to you?

18 months for sexually abusing a child. 40 years for killing a child sexual abuser. That sound right to you?

No, 40 years is rather light for one premeditated murder and another attempted one.

no, not unless he killed the man after catching him RED-HANDED.

20 years for premeditated murder and another attempted murder?

 

[dogs4thewin]

No, 40 years is rather light for one premeditated murder and another attempted one.

If he had killed someone for any OTHER reason I would agree.

 

[dogs4thewin]

20 years for premeditated murder and another attempted murder?

Normally not, but with a motivation like that I am willing to treat it more more voluntary manslaughter.

 

[Desk trauma]

If he had killed someone for any OTHER reason I would agree.

13 years after the event in question he should get a lighter sentence for premeditated murder?

And don't forget the other man he tried to kill on his way to the one he actually killed.

Yay for extra-judicial executions! Give the guy a medal. What an upstanding citizen!

Are you defending the man who raped a child?

Please tell me that's not what you meant.

My thread title was a metaphor, which I will now explain. As a result of the actions of pedophiles and child sexual abusers the victims are automatically imposed with punishment which equates to a life-time sentence. It is a pain, a burden, and an injury which can never fully be relieved or healed. Unfortunately there is only one manner in which anyone can truly understand that, and it is not a condition I would wish on anyone.

I don't care how long ago a pedophile may have abused a child. They are guilty, and deserving of no sympathy, no coddling, and no mercy.

I didn't say the man who killed this particular pedophile should not have been punished. He is certainly liable. But his crimes were crimes of passion, not profit, and the underlying motivation for the crime of murder should have mitigated his sentence to a degree more profoundly than evidenced. Did he commit murder? Of course. But he also did the world a favor, as there is now one less pedophile in it.

Make of that what you will.

 

[Jack of Spades]

Honestly, I'm not morally against vigilante action against pedos but....

...if that was legally okay thing to do, I could go and shoot anyone I want and then just claim they were pedophiles and get away with it.

It's the after-impact that makes it a harmful thing to accept, while it's not necessarily a morally wrong thing to do.

He actually got 40 for the murder and 20 for the attempted one.

 

[Desk trauma]

Are you defending the man who raped a child?

From extrajudicial killings 13 years after the crime he was convicted of, yes.

He actually got 40 for the murder and 20 for the attempted one.

To be served concurrently.

 

[Nithavela]

To be served concurrently.

Right, so 60 years.

I think that it is a bit overkill.
