These guys just need killing in the worst possible way.  Right now. There is no doubt whatsoever that they killed an entire family brutally.  None.  They’re even admitting it now in way too much detail.  There is no point whatsoever in having a trial that lasts more than five minutes to announce how guilty they [...]
