The last hanging here was in 1836. After that it was off with their heads until 1910 with the death penalty being abolished in 1921.

I assume you are in the UK?

I googled and found not information on the last hanging in my state. Somewhere between 1911 and 1966 there was the hanging of a federal prisoner. The page I saw was the official death penalty page for my state yet the lack of information was appalling. I found more information on electrocutions than hangings.

The local rumor mill puts Ms. Anthony somewhere in Orange County CALIFORNIA, with alleged sightings in Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Sunset Beach, and/or South Coast Plaza.

That could be anybody. Casey Anthony is a blender, meaning she can easily blend into a population with no trouble whatsoever. I bet there are many women in California who strongly resemble her.

After her release, the media said she was going to Ohio to be with family. That was probably a ruse though. I blame the media for the most part for creating this mess.

I'm in Sweden. In the UK it was hanging up till the 1960s but it remained a possibility until 1998 (for treason).

All you need to do is look at the sentences one receives in cases of child abuse compared to cases where one stranger has assaulted another, both adults. Someone who harms an adult is given a harsher sentence, generally, than someone who has harmed a child, especially if the child is their own.

That's not a good comparison - child abuse is rarely perpetrated by strangers, and when it is, it's usually punished pretty harshly. A better comparison would be to spousal abuse, where the result is usually only a restraining order, not prosecution.

It is a good comparison. Look at capital murder cases. I cannot think of one person on death row in my state fore murdering a child yet this state ranks high for child abuse and child deaths.
What other reason is there?

Plus, I remember reading about how adults have more value in the eyes of the court. The older you are, the more value you have because of the life you have built for yourself, contributions you have made,relationships you have established.


Actually, in my home state of Washington, there was a guy executed for raping and murdering at least one child. I think his name was Wesley Allen Dodd, it was in the 1990's, and it had been the first execution in Washington after a number of years. He was also the last person in my state to die by hanging, since afterward, lethal injection became the sole means of execution. It was commonly felt he got exactly what he deserved.

-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer



Actually he killed three little boys. He killed two boys ages ten and eleven in Douglas Park in Vancouver, WA. Then he drove down to Portland and abducted a four year old boy from school playground, a block from where I used to live. He had the boy at his apartment for a few days before hanging him in his closet. Then he had tried to abduct another little boy in Camas at the old movie theater in downtown. He did it all in 1989 right after we had moved to Vancouver.

When he got caught, he wanted to die by hanging because that was how he killed his last victim. He even admitted in court he would escape and kill again so they had to kill him before he killed again. At least he was honest about his actions. Not many killers are.

Charles Rodman Campbell was actually the last person hung in Washington. He was hung in 1994.

Please remind me what Campbell was executed for.

After googling his name, an old news article from 1994 popped up and he was executed for murdering two women and a child in a revenge slaying.

In another article, it mentioned he called it revenge killing. He killed them because they testified against him in trial for the rape he did in the 70's. But why did he kill one of their daughter's? I have no clue. Maybe she was a witnesses to the crime so he killed her too.

Or maybe he was just a heartless sack of s**t who thought killing the child would hurt the two women even more, before he killed them.
Actually, I recall this guy. He had to have spent years on death row, waiting for that fateful day when he felt that fall, and heard the crack in his neck, before lights out.

I think its funny how her boyfriend is on the record saying that he wants to give her back the party lifestyle that she craves. Where exactly is she going to party? Odds are she's in a convent somewhere discovering Catholicism.

They said she could be anywhere. They even named my state.

Personally, I'm not too worried. There are enough women that look like her, that it would be impossible to ascertain exactly where she is (unless she tells people, which she probably won't.)

Anyway, she's not harmful to adults, but to toddler babies. Keep her away from kids, and she can live a productive life!

But they did mention an Ohio sighting.

Just because the victim was a toddler this time doesn't mean it will be a toddler next time.

Presumption of guilt! Not proven.
