    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.

    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.

  • aveB4life

    someone is going to torture him in jail.

  • robingee

    He should be killed.

  • AnonEMouse

    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.

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

  • Rocknrope

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

  • sonyactivision

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

  • dwightsupremacy

    Thank goodness!

    (Nice Imus reference, GOP!)

  • GOP

    What color is he?

  • Snoopy

    Justice has yet to be served.

  • kittencrunchies

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

  • eyekantspel

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