Now that's the kind of judge I like to see!

Montana Teen Sentenced for Hitting Jogger

GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) - A teen who wrote about wanting to do ``horrible things'' was sentenced to 50 years in prison for trying to kill a woman by driving up onto a sidewalk to hit her with his sport utility vehicle.

District Judge Kenneth Neill sentenced Daniel Robbins to 80 years, with 30 years suspended, for attempted murder. Robbins pleaded guilty in February.

Police say Robbins, now 17, told investigators he tried to kill Patty Emanuel, 40, while she was jogging last May 27 because he wanted to have sex with her corpse.

``Mental health is no excuse for this act,'' Neill said. ``He knew what he was doing.''

Neill noted a class assignment where Robbins, at age 15, listed as New Year's resolutions goals such as tasting human flesh and getting a driver's license ``so I can do those horrible things people like to read about in the paper.''

``The defendant made up his mind to run her down well in advance,'' Neill said. ``It is a miracle that she survived.''

Emanuel was hospitalized for 24 days with six fractured vertebrae, four fractures in her pelvis, a collapsed lung, three broken ribs and other injuries.

As with all juvenile sentences, Robbins' will automatically be reviewed before he turns 21 in November 2007.

At a hearing last year, the police officer assigned to C.M. Russell High School testified that school officials had met with Robbins and his parents several times after his teacher alerted them to the boy's ``resolutions.''

Reviewed at 21, yes. Changed? I really, seriously doubt it.

Excellent!
I remember when the story about this was originally posted last year, hope the morally bankrupt piece of shit learns what it feels like to be on the recieving end of "horrible things" in the joint.

He sounds like a budding serial killer a la Ted Bundy, except for the fact that Bundy was intelligent while this kid is an idiot.

Either way, hopefully he's off the street for a long, long time.

The poor woman! It sounds like she's crippled and will never enjoy another painless day in her life. Crushed vertebrae and pelvis? She may never have sex again. I hope this little shit is sent to a federal "pound [him] in the ass" prison for the rest of his life. With no conjugal visits.

Yeah. I would agree.

Only for murder and treason. Attempted murder doesn't cut it for the death penalty in the United States.

They should make an exception for him. If you intend to murder others, your own life should be forfeit, if not through execution then through "volunteering" for dangerous scientific experiments.

They can't. Rule of law, not of the passions of men. I don't like it any more than you do, but that's how it is. And I'm pretty sure using him as a test subject falls under unusual if not cruel.

The most you can do with an attempted murderer is lock them up for a long time. The thing is, even after his prison sentence is over, he still can be involuntarily committed to a mental institution if he still poses a threat to himself or others.

From the little information provided, he sounds like he is a would be (he didn't have the brains to actually succeed) serial killer. Same sociopathy as Bundy, but no IQ.

And since there is no present known cure for sociopathy, he should be committed to an institution for the rest of his life.

That seems like a waste of resources to me.

someone whose shown themselves to be as wreckless and harmful as the fucktard in the article above doesn't deserve freedom again, as there's clearly very little they could give to society. Where the death penalty isn't an option the best thing to do would be putting them away for a very long time. It may be a bit of a drain on resources but it's better than letting them out where they present the risk of doing something as dangerous again.
