Good for her for turning him in. Violence to animals is the best predictor of violence against persons, and this is deeply disturbed behavior by the accused.

As a lawyer, what do you think should happen? off the record of course

I dunno - it would depend on what the evidence showed about the circumstances of the offense (all I know is what that very brief article shows). For argument's sake, let's presume this was an act done out of random cruelty, and did not involve any kind of satanic or other ritualistic component (as such cases often do).

I would say the case should be prosecuted as a felony (to allow for aggressive, long-term supervised parole). I would like to see the guy serve a meaningful amount of confinement (say, 6 months to a year), then be kept under supervised parole, with mandatory psychiatric treatment, for at least 3 years. Any new offenses during the parole could lead to a revocation and a longer term of confinement (a few years, say).

"Ryan Turtura" -> Ryan Tortura -> Ryan Torturer :-S

Burn his privates then let him go.

I think we should come up with cool tortures for these types of people. I say, throw him in a cage naked covered in meat sauce, and then throw in two lions that haven't eaten in a day or so. If he beats the lions (somehow), he gets to advance to the next torture test. See, you can take a bad situation and make it fun.

I agree with Don_Vito's idea on possible sentence. violent crimes deserve some incarceration, period.

 

[Aharami]

why all the cruelty against puppies?

Good for her. They should burn this guy to see what it is like and lock him up for a bunch of years!

Yep. A good chunk of the 'greats' started that way. IIRC one method of training the SS was to have them raise a dog and then murder it. Also, serial killers have been known to display peculiar behavior to animals.

Yep. Another good for her. This little piece of crap punk has issues. This won't be the last time the justice system will have to deal with this little turd. The state will probably just end up executing him in another 10 years for multiple rape/murder anyhow.

Animal torturing/killing as a kid is a common theme for murderers.
