Connecticut killer sentenced to die for "unimaginable horror"
A judge ordered Joshua Komisarjevsky to be executed this summer for the 2007 murders of a mother and her two daughters during a brutal home invasion in Connecticut, saying on Friday that he committed a crime of "unimaginable horror."
Judge Jon Blue told Komisarjevsky, 31, that he alone was to blame for his new address on death row after the triple murders of Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, and her daughters Hayley Petit, 17, and Michaela Petit, 11, and beating of husband and father Dr. William Petit Jr.
Before the judge spoke, Komisarjevsky, dressed in an orange jumpsuit, denied he killed or raped anyone and blamed "the hurt I caused" on being a victim himself of sex abuse as a child, drug addiction, and his accomplice Steven Hayes, 48, already sentenced to death row.

I volunteer to put a bullet in his brain and save everyone $$.

Why wait to execute him? Set him on fire.

Too bad he's probably going to sit in a cell for 20 years before they execute his sorry ass.

Give them radiation poisoning.

Northeastern state. I doubt he ever will be executed.

20? This guy is 31, and will die of old age in prison.
He's in CT, after all. Only CT and NH have the death penalty in New England. NH has one guy on death row. CT has 11, but has only executed one guy since the DP was reinstated, and that was in 2005.

I like your line of thinking, Jess. :cheersmate:

well we could just three big "bubba's" pay him a visit with a "brutal cell invasion" in prison, letting them put an end to him with "unimaginable horror."

being a victim himself of sex abuse as a child
Excuses, plenty of victims of abuse, whether sexual or otherwise, go on to lead lives that don't involve visiting that same pain on someone else.

A year ago I attended a lecture given by a local true crime author. He had covered the trial of the first creep in this case for one of the local papers, and he talked briefly about that experience. He was visibly haunted by the testimony he'd heard. During the Q&A I asked him if his experience in writing about crime had changed his own views on crime and punishment. He replied that his view had indeed changed, and that he now supported the death penalty. I wonder if this case was the one that helped to change his mind.
