webfact Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Arizona man gets nine life terms for Buddhist temple murdersDavid SchwartzReutersPHOENIX (Reuters) - An Arizona man convicted of the execution-style killings of six Buddhist monks and three others at a temple near Phoenix more than two decades ago was sentenced on Friday to spend the rest of his life in prison.Johnathan Doody, 39, was sentenced to nine consecutive life terms after being convicted by a jury in January of nine counts of first-degree murder and armed robbery for a crime that drew international attention and remains the most deadly mass murder in the southwest U.S. state's history.Thailand-born Doody also received another 33 years for eight armed robbery counts, and one count each of burglary and conspiracy after being convicted in Maricopa County Superior Court after a month-long trial."From my perspective, there can be no other sentence," Judge Joseph Kreamer said in handing down his decision. Kreamer also read aloud the names of the nine people the then-high school student was convicted of murdering in Waddell, Arizona.Full story: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-rt-us-usa-temple-murder-20140314,0,1153290.story-- Chicago Tribune 2014-03-15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oops Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The judge says from his perspective, there can be no other sentence. He's obviously never been to Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Greer Posted March 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2014 Good grief the scumbag was a high school student at the time. I hope he rots in jail and dies there.. preferably sooner rather than later, so that the American tax payers aren't funding the extension of this mongrels life one second longer than it has to be. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Watcher Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 If he was caught in the act - seen by cctv etc - then he should be given a needle to put him away.

We are free to leave if we wish. The same can't be said for the convicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never having been convicted and serving a life sentence, at some point, the prisoner must beg in his/her mind for an end to the existence in "Lifers Row. It must be like dying a bit each day upon awakening and knowing there is no end until the last breath is taken. The clock is the executioner with each tick of the second hand.

I hope he rots in jail and dies there.. preferably sooner rather than later, so that the American tax payers aren't funding the extension of this mongrels life one second longer than it has to be. If he lives until 70 and bearing in mind the average annual cost to keep a person locked up in USA is $30,600 per inmate that's just short of $1 million which could be far better spent in so many other ways Edited March 15, 2014 by Asiantravel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

searcherkind666 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I would prefer to read the evidence before making a judgment , not everything is as it appears , ask the hundreds of death row inmates there were cleared years later and the one's that ran out of time only to be exonerated later . judge not least ye be judged .

F4UCorsair Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 $30600 a year? Are ylu kidding? In Australia the estimated total cost of keeping a person in jail is $200,000 a year, so 30 years would be $6 million, but indexed probably closer to $8M. I don't see how an execution could possibly be a million $$, but it would be cost effective versus $8M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be like dying a bit each day upon awakening and knowing there is no end until the last breath is taken. The clock is the executioner with each tick of the second hand.It's not necessarily so bad. Prisoners often adapt. They buddy up with others, watch satellite TV, library, get health care, teeth fixed, 3 ok meals a day, a warm comfy dry place to stay. US prisoners live more comfy lives than 70% of people elsewhere. $30600 a year? Are ylu kidding?

I don't see how an execution could possibly be a million $$, but it would be cost effective versus $8M US officialdom is very adept at spending ten to thirty times more for things than they need to. If left to reasonable budget-minded people, the cost for official things would be incredibly lower. For the murderer, I can think of some low-cost ways to snuff him out.
