Ohio woman gets life in prison for killing baby daughter in microwave oven

[viasta]

they should have tortured her, microwave her too but not kill her, just microwave her daily to see how the baby felt when he/she was microwaved. Cut 1 finger off per year to help her keep count of her life in prison

Really?

We need to be sadistical and torturous in order to right past wrong?

yes, if someone do something bad to someone else, we'll do the same thing to that someone who did that something bad.

That echoes Hammurabi's Code--eye for an eye and all that. Hammurabi's Code was written almost 4000 years ago. I would like to think society as a whole would have moved past that.

I think all prisoners should die... People say..let them suffer..BUT who pays for them to eat in prison? We do. Who pays for their cable tv? We do. Who pays for their excersizing equipment? We do.

All in all, WE pay for them to live the good life in guilt -.-

Death to them all, plus it will scare everyone from even commiting a crime.

crime = death.. I like it.

This is one of the most craziest stories I've ever read. Heating someone in a microwave? That is.. insane.. and sad.
Sad that the mother doesn't even care for her own daughter.. what a maniac.
Some people can do anything these days.

@ the people that said she deserved a death penalty
I know there are death penalties in some countries. I don't live in one. But let's face it. A life is a life. Killing her doesn't solve anything. Yeah she deserves to be chucked in jail for years but killing them for the death of someone else is not the way to go. Nobody wants to die. I believe those that take revenge are just as evil as the killer.

Well said.

If we do the same thing as a criminal does, that would make us just as bad as the criminal themselves.

You're suppose to learn from history, and not repeat it.

Sad thing is there was two studies going on....

A) The study of cost of lethal ejection vs living in prison forever.

~Supposedly it costs less for the people to pay for somebody to live in prison forever than to pay for the drugs, doctors, officials, guards, and the rest of the people involved in a lethal injection ceremony (right word?).

B) What is the reaction to most doctors when asked to participate in a lethal ejection.

~Most doctors believed if they participated in a lethal ejection that they would have taken a hypocritical oath and felt that nobody deserves to die with a doctor allowing it to happen. So doctors don't wanna administer the lethal injection...

So either way it still stinks...It is harder to kill somebody instantly and it still costs lots of money either way. I won't say my personal opinion but people are tormented in this world. People who seem to us as mentally instable, to them, they are just trying to be sane from the torment they are going through or at least are trying to manage their anger.

Its a cycle of torment that leads to torment. I am not sure how to "correct" this problem in the world and I am sure if I did then I would be a millionaire. But...society will always have its problem due to the .1% that "mess" up everybodys' lifes.

^ Hippocratic. Not hypocritical lol.

Anyways, why lethal injection? Just shoot 'em in the head if you're gonna kill them. (This doesn't mean I advocate the death penalty.)
