Reduced Time...

Katie Collman was ten. She had friends and family that loved her. She had a life ahead of her, a world of possibilities at her feet. Until Anthony Stockelman decided to kidnap her, molest her, and throw her into a creek to die.

Yes, the very same Stockelman that recently received a little mark of the beast upon his forehead... that now famous tattoo that has caused so much fuss.

Keep in mind that the only reason Stockelman pleaded guilty was to avoid the death penalty. Because in his cowardliness he felt his life was more meaningful than hers was. Perhaps he feared the moment that he'd meet his maker, and just wanted to prolong the inevitable as much as possible. Whatever his excuse... it's pitiful and shameful, but we really couldn't expect anything more from that sort of scum, could we?

Which brings me to this annoyance...

A man sentenced to life in prison for molesting and murdering a 10-year-old Crothersville girl is seeking to have the time reduced.

Dustin Houchin, the attorney for Anthony Stockelman, 40, said in a brief filed with the Indiana Supreme Court last week that life without the possibility of parole is inappropriate "given the nature of the offense and the character of the offender."

The nature of the offense? He killed a child. After molesting her. After kidnapping her. For his own perverted deviant desires... he took the life of an innocent 10 year old girl.

Her family searched for her for five days, while he went home each night to see his own children sleeping safely in their beds.
Houchin argues that Jackson County Circuit Court Judge William Vance "failed to consider or give proper weight to the mitigating circumstances" that might have resulted in a lesser sentence.

Mitigating circumstances? Are you kidding me? He coldly and callously molested this child, tying her hands behind her back before leaving her in a creek to die. Although after a second thought, the judge probably did fail to "consider or give proper weight to the mitigating circumstances".. this monster deserved nothing short of the death penalty.

I wonder what the chances are of having the judge increase the sentence? Cause, I could really be supportive of something like that.

Do you think he might want out so that he can show off his new tattoo? Or is that one of the mitigating circumstances? Didn't he 'consent' to the tat? Ok, maybe he was under duress, but I am sure I read that he consented.
I am sorry, I am being sarcastic. I have read a lot about how important 'consent' is to the other pedos, how even children should be allowed to consent. So if he was given the option of consenting, that shouldn't be a reason to prevent him from serving his time (though I would be agreeable to increasing his time also).

Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...
