Body Believed to Be Missing California Teen Found
Body Believed to Be Missing California Teen Found
Tuesday , March 02, 2010
A body believed to be that of a missing 17-year-old California teen was found Tuesday afternoon, sources told Fox News.
Chelsea King disappeared Thursday from a wooded park in San Diego County.
King is a straight-A student at Poway High School who plays French horn for the San Diego Youth Symphony, competes on her school cross-country team and volunteers in a peer counseling program.
A sex offender suspected in the disappearance of Chelsea King was arrested Sunday in connection with her disappearance. He served only five years in prison for molesting a girl a decade ago after prosecutors rejected a psychiatrist's advice to seek a stiffer punishment, court documents state.
Prosecutors said in 2000 that John Albert Gardner III's lack of significant prior criminal record justified less than the maximum sentence for molesting a 13-year-old girl.
They also said they wanted to "spare the victim the trauma of testifying." {How about wanting to spare future victims?}
The San Diego Union-Tribune said Tuesday that Gardner had faced a maximum of nearly 11 years in prison under terms of his plea agreement. Prosecutors urged six years — the sentence later ordered by a judge.
In their 11-page sentencing memo, prosecutors said Gardner "never expressed one scintilla of remorse for his attack upon the victim" despite overwhelming evidence.
The girl was beaten before escaping from his home and running to a neighbor.
Psychiatrist Dr. Matthew Carroll wrote in sentencing documents, "There is no known treatment for an individual that sexually assaults girls and does not admit to it in any way." {There may not be a treatment, but there is a solution. For certain offenses, such as the one for which John Gardner was previously convicted , offenders receive mandatory life in prison with no chance of parole or the death sentence. Preferably, the death sentence.}
Fox News' Adam Housley and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

This just pisses me off to no end (the lack of real punishment for the SOB offender).
Thoughts out to the family and friends of this young lady, may she rest in peace.

The offender needs to be found, tried, and executed, quickly.
In reality, I suspect that the Kali judicial system will once again, fail to take appropriate action.

He's found and in custody. But he ain't going to die quickly in this state.

How does the Judge sleep?

Until there is a treatment, castration and placement in prison general population seem like a good start. How does the judge who was initially sentenced him so leniently sleep at night?

I personally suggest two 9mm rounds injected into the base of that man's skull. And at a few cents per round it'd save the country hundred of dollars per individual who received this treatment versus castration (chemical, surgical or garden tool-variety), lethal injection, the electric chair, or hanging (though this is pretty cheap too if you keep the rope).

How about 1 .45 round for each kneecap?
I wonder what the prosecutor told himself/herself when he/she saw this news?

Something along the lines of "Not my fault".
Ever notice how the folks that create this situation don't have to live next to the scum? Prosecutors, Judges, Parole Boards? They all get a free pass and let the scum walk into someone else's life to ruin it.

Kalifornia is far too lenient on serious offenders. These type of criminals are a heavy burden to the victims and also the tax payers. Some people should not exist.

ABC Evening News last night reported that there are "700,000" registered sex offenders in the United States,however their registrations are not kept up to date..... The police checked out some and found one that lived across the street from a school....  They had one in here in Mississippi that was sentenced to 5 years,go out after 11 months,and was just arrested for doing the same thing again.....
