  1. I was moved by his lawyer’s words. If I were on that jury I’d vote to release him from his burden of guilt and put him out of his misery.

  2. Don’t do the crime if you aren’t willing to do the time.
    At least he has the opportunity to make things right with his Maker, otherwise he will have the rest of eternity to relive this crime over and over and over…
    At least he has the chance to face his choices head on.

  4. If I were on that jury I’d vote to release him from his burden of guilt and put him out of his misery.
    If I was confident that he would remain in prison, I would do the opposite. Let Mr Hayes spend all the time he needs to reflect on his crimes

  6. That’s an odd coincidence. Just tonight I caught a few minutes of CNN running a ‘special’ on serial killers and the one POS I saw had made a plea bargain with the authorities to get life instead of a death sentence in exchange for telling the police where all the bodies were, being interviewed by psychologists/profilers etc.
    The first thing I thought was, “Well, so much for the ‘life in prison is worse than getting the death penalty so it’s more punishing to jail them than kill them’ defence used by anti-capital-punishment types.”

  7. His lawyer said “This is a human being”…that is the furthest thing from the truth, this guy is not human, he is scum.
    Potassium chloride is to good for him…he should be hung with a dirty rope…twice!!

  8. So, if life would be crueler than the death penalty, can we finally admit that the death penalty is not barbaric?
    I’d be willing to extend this last act of kindness and put him out of his mortality.

  11. I need to jot down the name of that lawyer, just in case I’m ever up for the death penalty in Connecticut and he offers to help me out.

  12. Does a shark have a conscience?
    A Hyena a bit of empathy?
    This guy killed this Women & her daughters.
    At that moment he ceased to be human, becoming nothing buy a hunger driven by instinct. Dark hungers.
    JMO

  13. Both of the pieces of $hit should just be shot and thrown in a hole, covered over and never spoken of again. They are even beneath contempt.

  15. If defense lawyers are all about acting in the best interest of their client and to get the best possible sentence, why is he pleading that Hayes live and spend the rest of his life in jail, a supposed harsher sentence than the death penalty?

  16. He tried to kill himself in prison. Not too hard mind you because I think prison is the type of place where death wishes aren’t that hard to fulfill.

  18. This was a horrible crime. Watched a show regarding this case and it appears these women could have been saved if it were not for the slow reaction by police. The Mother was in the bank trying to take out $15k while this monster sat in the car waiting for her. She indicated to the teller and manager that she and her family were in trouble. It was a half hour before they got back to the house and the subsequent police response. By then it was too late. The husband survived the ordeal. Let him have a go at these guys.

  19. The only solution to this is the old pronouncement from the judge, “You will be taken from this court to a place of execution and may god have mercy on your soul.”
    The cost of years of appeals makes it far cheaper to keep him in prison for the rest of his life. Just look at that Canadian POS who has been on death row for at least 28 years, still appealing.
    In cases like this with overwhelming evidence of guilt death should be swift. Justice to be done must be seen to be done, not decades later.

  20. When Gov. Pataki started cleaning out death row in NY state, the final costs to the taxpayer ran to $32 million for the first 8. A recent figure for the cost of a US execution outcome for any criminal guesstimated an all in expense approaching $20 million.
    Disgusting. The defense has been handed a license to print money at the taxpayers expense in states where they can’t defeat the use of capital punishment at the ballot.

  22. If you let that scum live, he may one day find a way our of prison and do it again.
    Where there is life there is hope.
    That man deserves nothing but hopelessness. If I were think like an evil person, I would want him in prison for life, but without his hearing or his sight. That’s worse than death. That’s about as lonely as it can be. I am assuming of course that this is no Helen Keller.

  23. By his own words the attorney is committing malpractice. It’s the attorney’s responsibility to get the best deal possible for the client; if the death penalty is better for his client, then he should be working towards that! Also, if the attorney doesn’t truly believe what he is saying, then he has perjured himself. What a f’n disgusting knob! I don’t think I could do that for a living and look my family in the eye.Sick.

  24. Look out fair people of New Haven!
    It’s a trick from one of them thar silver tongued defense attorney type fellas.
    Mmmmm Hm.

  25. No Kate I insist let me fix that headline for you.
    It should say:
    Defendant: It looks like I picked a bad day to quit potassium cyanide.
    Your current offering:
    “Defendant: It looks like I picked a bad day to quit potash.”
    just doesn’t cut it unless of course the story is actually about Brad Wall and Harper deciding, out of the blue, to reverse the decisions of their respective governments to block the sale of Potash Corp.
    On a somewhat related topic I was just wondering if you would be interested in signing a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide.

  26. This creature and his partner are cruel, wicked, remorseless, torturers, (child) rapists and killers. There is NO doubt of their guilt, crimes, intents or mental state. They are simply unrecoverable garbage.
    The should be taken out, shot in the head (because civilized people do not sink to their level) and fed into a woodchipper so they can be flushed into the sanitary sewers.
    I’d be willing to skip the bullets, as a statement.
    (Leaving aside the police incompetence at the crime which made things worse.)

  27. Capital punishment is best delivered by the intended victim at the time and place of the crime.
    Blam! Blam! BlamBlamBlam! click, [reload] BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM! clickclickclick
    This is the proper response. S&W Air Weight snubbie, reloads are +P hollow points. Of course.
    Mr. Hayes there should be made the poster boy for women’s gun rights, since this travesty of justice allowed him to live. CPC take note.

  28. No I insist Kate, let me fix that headline for you.
    As Al W at November 8, 2010 12:56 AM notes:
    “Potassium chloride is to good for him”
    No kidding.
    The headline should read:
    Defendant: Looks like I picked a bad day to give up potassium cyanide.
    Your current offering, baring your alternate headline at November 8, 2010 12:40 AM, reads:
    “Defendant: Looks like I picked a bad day to give up potash.”
    This just doesn’t cut it unless you have some weird link between this story and the story about Potash Corp.
    On a somewhat related topic I was wondering if anyone here was interested in signing a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide.

  30. Good ol US of A gets it right..6 count em 6 separate death penalties.Gawd I wish we could do the same to Olsen,Bernardo,Picton etc etc etc.

  32. Pkuster is dead on.
    More than three years after their arrest, Hayes’s partner in this atrocity hasn’t even been brought to trial. Will this blog outlast the appeals process?
    “Mr. Hayes will be the 10th inmate on death row in Connecticut — including one who was convicted 21 years ago.”
    Justice delayed is justice denied.

  33. Looks like I misunderstood the first story. Justice delayed but not denied, Hayes gets the needle. Eventually.
    Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to put this POS in general population pending the two hundred appeals? It worked great with little Jeffrey Dahmer, right?

  34. Despite the sad reality that life and experience has left me “brutalized’….not mine but “expert” opinion…..I have envolved from a supporter of capaital punishment to be somewhat sceptical.
    My problem is not directly about the penality but it’s unappealable finality.
    A long litany of well documented falsely convicted such as Stephen Truscott, Donald Marshall, Guy Paul Moran,as well as personal knowledge of the failings of our “justice system” including that disgraced POS pathologist who was pivital in falsely convicting a whack of innocents for “child murders” which were actually deaths from Natural causes gives me pause and should most others.
    Including the experience of knowing I would be shot in the morning….nuff said.
    OTOH I would have no qualms or hesitation to shoot, hang or guilotine such individuals as Karla Homulka, Clifford Olson, Paul Bernardo….
    There is no simple answer……

  35. Perhaps this is why I believe in an evil entity (Satan) because otherwise, I can’t understand why anyone would do anything so horrible. They must be awfully angry men and women, but how would this lift their spirits?

  36. The defense lawyer set a new low standard for scum sucking bottom feeders when he told reporters that Mr. Hayes “was smiling. That’s what he’s wanted all along — ’suicide by state.’”, in the hope that it will give the knife in the family’s hearts another twist.
    That’s despicable totally beneath humanity. Personally, I’d feed him to the chipper, too (a la Fred2). Feet first, of course!

  37. That…sasq, is the burden we must bear as a just society; for when we deny justice for the sake of a few “what if’s”, we cause graver damage to society than the damage we intended to prevent. Good intentions are often the root of bad consequences. Good intentions are the reason Omar Khadr is in the news today.
    I suggest that there can be new stipulations added to increase our confidence we have the correct person. Starting with (of course) consequences for those that would skew evidence to put an innocent man to death in the first place.Personally, it’s the police, their evidence, and their statements that worry me; not the jury of my peers.

  38. Color me speechless that Connecticut actually has the death penalty.

    Yeah kinda sent me for a loop as well.
    Ive always wondered if the state was even American.

  39. “Perhaps this is why I believe in an evil entity (Satan) because otherwise,”
    And that theory is one of the reasons I DO NOT believe in Satan,or any other evil entity! This act was done by a man,with no input from any creature of the spirit world.
    He made the choice,it was not made for him.
    I’m only sorry Vlad Tepes isn’t the official executioner in Connecticutt.

  40. dmorris – absolutely, he opened himself to the suggestion, but he did it of his own free will.

  41. Color me speechless that Connecticut actually has the death penalty.

    They may be a collective of liberals but they also still issue conceal and carry weapon permits as well. Which is more than our f-tard province allows.
    That’s the screwy thing about the US that you only learn when you live there. Even some liberals are in favor of the death penalty…

  42. Connecticut becomes less and less liberal the farther away you get from NYC. Once you’re out of commuting range of the Big Smoke, people are pretty normal. Shooting ranges and everything.

  43. Cold, cruel, calcualted crime – death penalty worthy – the US tends to be much less tolerant of horrific crimes. He asked for mercy and he got it.

  44. This talk of capital punishment reminds me of a classic cartoon in the old Punch magazine; it may have been by the great J. B. Handelsman but I can’t be sure.
    It showed a judge in court in full regalia, addressing a prisoner:
    “Capital punishment has been abolished in this jurisdiction. I therefore sentence you to be hanged by the neck until you are very, very uncomfortable.”
