We were studying this case in investigation class. It appears that the defense's strategy was to question what state Dru died in. It somehow they could prove that she died in North Dakota then the feds would not have been able to try him, it would have been left up to state charges and ND does not have a death penalty. From the verdict though it looks like the defense was turned down.

This is another example of a "rehabilhitated" sex offender that convinces a few shrinks that he wont poke anything anymore. Then he gets out, and then starts a pillaging spree because his wittle brain is broke. Either warehouse these freaks, or make them wormfood. They cannot be fixed. I know the American Psychiatric Association thinks that a few prozacs and they can cure a sex offfender or even a pedophile, but it doesnt work that way.

 

Just warehouse them, or plant them in the back and get some good flowers out of it. They shouldnt be allowed to re-enter society and hurt others again.
