A person has a right to a jury trial on a captial case. If his peers that come from all different types of backgrounds: black, white, poor, rich, male and female decide to choose the death penalty b/c his/her crimes were so viscious then so be it. Lets face it, most people plea out or have bench trials or something like that. Even if the jury chooses a death sentence their are so many mitigating factors that it would be brought down to life with no parole. How many people were actually sentenced to death in 2007?? Just curious

I think the kids that robbed the store at 17 and killed 3 people b/c he was in a gang should not get the death penalty, I feel many of these people are in bad situations and many were just pressured into the crime not necessarily bad people.

BUT.... a child molester will repeat. If the gang menber got out in 20 years, I believe he would not kill again (I could be wrong). But a child molester will hunt again.

Where are the rights of the victims (aka children who have no voice and are scared). I wish the death penalty could be enacted on child molesters b/c those are the people who WILL hurt again, they don't stop. They WILL never stop, just find new ways!!! And every time he is with a child he is killing that child inside.

I really do think castration would do well but I guess that would fall under "Cruel and Unusual" but really what else can you do to stop them??

CPN may do better than we expect in his Thai jail. He is a westerner and he has money (some, probably from family in Canada). He can purchase a great deal of insulation.

I resent people like him and the fake degree crowd making the lives of the every day English teacher difficult. All the proof of degrees and crimnal record checks are both time consuming and expensive. That may not be a good reason to execute him, but his own conduct raises the potential.

There was an article in The U.S. News (Aug 18-25) about INTERPOL, and the pursuit of CPN through operation VICO, and the other guy they found in New Jersey through operation IDENT. Seems like there was another agenda.

U.S. News Question: "You recently launched two high-profile appeals to identify child sex predators"

INTERPOL Answer: "We're trying to prepare ourselves for that day when a suspected terrorist might be carrying a biological or chemical weapon and we know what he looks like but not his name, and we want to stop him. Thats the model we used for the child sex offenders. We didn't have his name or nationality, but we knew what he looked like."

Interesting blog about the dood.

I'm not for the death penalty simply because it can't be done without spending millions on legal costs.

I'm for the Phoenix sheriff type of prison, only put it in alaska and let them experience bone chilling cold and wet on a daily basis. Let them bust rocks and shuffle shit for life, to teach them their picadillos come with a life sentence of misery, just like they inflicted on their victims.

no tv, no newspaper, no letters, no internet, no books, no nothing. just work, sleep, eat just enough to live, and die a miserable and sad life.

that's justice.

What drives these guys. Psychologists say it's a power thing. If it is, how in the world can anyone feel so disempowered to want to get a sense of power by molesting a much younger person. Are these guys hardwired or were they conditioned by circumstances.
Does it run in families? Are these guys aware that it's a horrendous crime not acceptable by the rest of the human race. They say that when confronted with their crime these guys go into strong denial mode. They have the ability to brush everything off and be smug and their behaviour that can usually be totaly disarming. The more horrendous the crime it seems, the greater the power the individual has to down play what he or she has done.

Someone has said that the victims were very often friends with the abuser. Maybe CPN worked his way into a friendship with members of the kids family.

Ok, I get the outrage although some of you are a little over the top (I highly doubt you'd risk your own freedom to beat him to death). Yeah three years is definitely a lot shorter than what I would have expected. If Thai prisons are still like what that Australian wrote about in 4000 days, I doubt having money will help him much, unless he's into drugs.

The point I wanted to make on this is where is the outrage against the parents that pimp their kids out? To me that's 10x worse than what Neil did. I don't know the specifics of Neil's trial, but when the story first broke, reporters claimed that this happened frequently in Thailand and Cambodia, to bring in extra bucks for their family. I'm not much of a death penalty guy (except for that beheading psycho in Canada) but I'd fully support it for any parents that did this. Neil needs to be punished harshly, but if any parents were encouraging their children to do this, they should be punished even more.

Those facing the same charges in Canada get very light sentences as well. One would have hoped that committing a crime in a far stricter country would have brought on a harsher punishment. Christopher Neils light sentence sends a message worldwide that this monsters can travel around the globe and commit these crimes without harsh consequences. Not only has he ruined the lives of all these children, but he's also made a bad name for Canadians. How do you think people in Asia will look at single males who want to travel abroad to teach? This man is truly sick and one must wonder if he's committed similar crimes in his home country. There is no true justice for the victims of these crimes. These criminals are basically murderers. Though they are not physically killing these children, they're killing their souls and their faith in humanity. He truly should not be allowed to walk the streets ever again and should spend the rest of his life in prison.
