Justice has been served!
Vincent Puglisi has been sentenced to life in prison for his role in 2006 murder of Curious George author Alan Shalleck. Shalleck apparently met Puglisi and his then-boyfriend Rex Ditto on a homo hook-up site, but the dastardly duo had other plans.
And when we say "plans," we mean "sick shit:"
Shalleck's body was found in February 2006 covered with garbage bags on the driveway of his mobile home in a Boynton Beach trailer park.An autopsy found that the 76 year old had been stabbed to death. There were more than 30 stab wound to the body and he had been struck more than 80 times with a blunt instrument.
Prosecutors originally sought the death penalty, but cut a deal with Puglisi and Ditto, who is also serving a life sentence. And, in our opinion, life in prison's a fate far worse than state-supported death.

I'm torn. I really have a problem w/our tax $ going to sustain such contemptible people.
If our tax $ go towards denouncing murder in ANY form, I'm cool with it.
The only way I make sense of rejecting capital punishment in a clearly despicable crime like this is that we can't make emotional, visceral decisions on the subject. Debate CP on the merit of the law and not the crime. As a compassionate society, CP has no place. In a bar discussion about right and wrong, yeah, I'm totally down with killing these bastards.
Also, there is still an uncomfortable inequality on death row. 11% of the US population make up 80% of the inmates serving on Death row. I'm not screaming racism, but would you make a bet in Vegas if those odds were against you?
Killing people is wrong. Prisoners are people. Argument ends.
This inmate is living a great life. Tax dollars are definitely being wasted. Claiming to be a psyche patient permits living in an air conditoned dormitory catered to every whim. Dont worry if you've been thinking about killing someone famous as well. Why? With prisoner rights so heavily appraised, prison is no form of punishment anymore but yet a permanent daycare for troubled adults.
