[deanmine]

Watch this idiot and hear him state over and over how he never hit the child, but the only time he hit him was when mom was home, and sometimes when mom was not home, this sick dick.

[DOLL]

I guess this fuckers have the statistics against them.....

[Photoplay]

Wow!. That third guy vid, Cold blooded person.
He wants the death sentence then I think they should give him solitary confinement for life. No parole. Life sentence.
He extinguished two lives on purpose for no other reason they he could.

[audiomouth]

Video #1. The way he says "I'm Sorry", you can tell he's just sorry he got caught. You're right about the flip-flop beating story.... This is how GUILT+Karma comes to light *take notes everyone, know what it looks like*

[Photoplay]

RE: Jailed for life vid. This sent shivers up my spine. I felt sick.
