My two cents; Cliffs at bottom:
If there was ever someone who deserved capital punishment (i.e., the death penalty), then it's this guy.
Some have commented/implied that this guy faces a serious risk of being assaulted (physically, sexually) by fellow inmates in prison. That is likely true. I completed my doctoral internship at a federal prison, so for an entire year I got to see how these things work. The inmates pay close attention to the media - watching TV, reading the newspapers - to see who is getting convicted of what. So, if you're this guy - a very high profile case involving the brutal murder and sexual assault of a girl - then by the time you get processed and enter the prison everyone knows your story, everyone knows your coming, and there are inmates getting in the proverbial line to administer to you their own form of punishment. Those who sexually offend against children are the most reviled amongst criminals. So, I'd imagine that there's no less than two dozen guys waiting at whatever prison he ends up at to sexually brutalize, torture, and even kill him. If he's released into anything similar to a general population atmosphere, then he'll likely die (or wish he was dead) before they even get to his first appeal. Remember, in prisons like the on he'll go to there are plenty of guys that aren't getting out, ever. Guys that have been convicted of murder and are serving life for no chance of parole. What's it then to those guys to kill one more person, say, some despicable inmate that deserves to die? Nothing, really - I mean, what are they going to do, sentence the lifer that offs him to another life sentence? LOL. Yeah, so, this guy will get it one way or another, I'd put a good sum of money on it.
Cliffs: He deserves to die and will be put to death, either at the hands of the government or at the hands of vengeful inmates.
