Brutal Rapist Found Guilty

Robert Williams, accused of raping and torturing a Columbia University graduate student, was found guilty on 44 of 46 counts, including attempted murder, arson, torture and assault. Williams had tried to blind his victim, forced her to overdose on aspirin, and later set fire to the futon he tied her to. He could face up to life in prison.

I'd rather have him found dead, but I guess it's a start.

they should do the same thing to him. and then cut his wiener off. and then jail him for life.

Justice has yet to be served.

Thank goodness!

(Nice Imus reference, GOP!)

Too bad he didn't do it to Tawana Brawley.

Let's hope he meets a Dahmer-esque end in the joint.

There are not enough bad things that can possibly happen to this dude, but I sure hope his fellow inmates give it their best.

While I am overjoyed he was found guilty of the 44 charges and can face life in jail, I still believe he should have been found guilty on all 46-- slitting someones's eyelids for the purpose of blinding them so they can not identify you is CRIMINAL.

someone is going to torture him in jail.

Anyone have any idea of the two charges this scumbag was not found guilty of? The only two things I could see him being innocent of are decency and humanity.

If you believe the Post:

There were two acquittals, after jurors agreed the permanent, hairline scars the fiend's knifework left on the victim's eyelids did not constitute a serious physical injury.

And I was pissed at the jury when I read that.
