Jurors Forced to Watch Duncan Torture Dylan Groene

Every time I read more horrific details about the tragic death of Dylan Groene it's difficult to keep the tears from coming; my heart just about breaks.

Against the wishes of Steve Groene, father of Shasta and Dylan, prosecutors played a video tape for the jury of Duncan torturing and raping Dylan. On the tape Duncan can be heard saying, "The devil is here boy, the devil himself. The demon couldn't do what the devil sent him to do, so the devil came himself."

Jurors were visibly upset, crying and looked away from the video that showed, among other things, Dylan being hanged until he passed out, forced to perform a sex act and whipped. Even Duncan's standby attorney's couldn't watch the horror.

Just kill him already. He doesn't deserve to breathe. What he did to the Groene family is bad enough, having the jury watch the tape is just making things worse. This sick ticket is probably getting his jollies by watching the tape. There are so many things I could think to call him, but I think sick ticket covers it all.

There's a special place in hell for Joe Ed. I'd be happy to load the syringes, start the IV and push the button if the Department of Corrections is looking for a medical volunteer ...

Tezi, you are probably right. That sicko is no doubt getting off by watching that tape.

On second thought, I'l load the syringes and teach Dylan and Shasta's dad how to start an IV using Joe Ed as our practice dummy. It will take a few pokes with a large-bore needle. Then I'll let HIM push the button. Except I'll have put the medications in backwards and have the succinylcholine or potassium run in first ...

I'd question the judges ethics and think a search of the judges personal computers might turn up the reason the judge allowed this heinous material to be viewed in court. This goes way beyond a morbid since of curiosity.
Those jurors should sue the court for forcing child porn into their memory, and forcing those images to stay with them for life.
I hope Joseph Edward Duncan III is put to death and all manner of malfunctions occur when he is executed so that his last moments in life equal a fraction of what he put those poor children through.

When I come across evil things such as this -- I try to "intellectualize" it in my mind, so I can feel better if at all possible. Yet, I simply can't. I am not a particularly religious person, but I have now come to believe what some people have said. And that is that now evil forces of the universe have somehow come to dominate over the opposite good forces. I don't think it is just as simple as, "oh he is a sick man." I think there is a larger energy field out there that is wreaking havoc notably on children. Also disturbing to me is that I often look for parallel behavior in the world of nature / other animals. And somehow if I see that an analagous thing happens "naturally," I am somewhat comforted. Yet even when, say, a baby lion cub is eaten by a hungry predator it it NOT an act of deliberate evil, it is better thought of as a hungry animal eating available and appropriate food. The perp's actions against this innocent child have no analogy in nature! I am saddened, angered, disgusted and worried for children today.

I can't think of a sentence that is horrific enough for this monster. He deserves so much more than a needle in the arm for what he did to poor Dylan and his other victims. He should be put in a room with Steve Groene....or with me. I'd love to give him a taste of his own medicine.
