Echo your note KF. Murray Pace was my friend and one of the kindest, smartest, most generous souls I've ever known. Derrick Todd Lee can burn in hell.

BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!

Feeling pretty confident here that the orthodox Christian position is to earnestly hope that the man repented of his sins before his death and is now in the bosom of his Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ.

One needn't be a Christian, of course, but then, which religion's hell are you wishing him in?

11:58

The sanctimonious one, yours.

YOURS, 11:58! And take your pious bullshit sermonizing and stick it up your ass. If ever there was a slug that deserved an agonizing death and damnation (you decide what that word means) this bastard is it. If there's a God and HE deems this scumbag worthy of salvation (you decide what that means), that's between him and the scumbag.

This will only bring a day and a half of odd relief to Mrs. Pace. Then she's right back to the forever agony of life without her beautiful daughter. It won't be 'better', only 'different'.

Well said Mr. Kingfish (RE your note)

"Where's the Black Lives Matter crowd? This poor 47 Year Old was a victim of entrenched white man hate so he just naturally went bad."







Just kidding. I'm a terrible kidder.
May the SOB be assigned to the lowest levels of HELL.

Since Hell and Christianity have been invoked, and since some who claim the name "Christian" may be tempted to invite Hell upon Lee and may already have, I invite any other Bible-readers (dare I say, Christians) to spend a few minutes with me in Matthew 5:38-48:

38"You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.

43“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."

(By the way, y'all, that's red letter text.)

I only offer that for your consideration; not in judgement. I'm just here trying to walk the narrow path the same way that a lot of y'all are too.

Chill out guys.

I think 11:58 was just pointing out the ridiculousness of the literalist crowd that inhabits this area.

Now, perhaps he's an asshole for doing it in this context, but it's probably best to ignore him and save the discussion for a better time.

an evil offender is gone. no need to speculate what his after-life fate is, this world is rid of him. Louisiana saved some money on the chemicals needs to inject him...

A 'literalist'? right.

Some of this guy's victims were black. The known ones. How many black and white women he killed will never be known. Why he got life in the slammer I have no clue. Sounds like a bad verdict to me.

Whatever.....Mrs Pace can take a deep breath and exhale slowly tonite.

2:34 That's a whoooooole typing and yet not one word about his victims.

5:48, my point was 11:58 had nothing relevant to say.

He was simply taking an easy, cheap shot at the 6,000 year old earth crowd.

And of course they stuck their heads up to take the shot like Aldo from McGregor.

So none of you people has ever read a single gospel?

Trump fans all, I gather.

The good news is that the killer could have the chance for eternal salvation. One can only hope his victims aren't burning in hell now either....because they rejected Jesus.

For I am an unworthy as the killer...yet I am saved by the grace of God by faith.

Here's hoping the posters here experience salvation.

For I have been to hell. It looks a lot like Venice LA

"Convicted south Louisiana serial killer Derrick Todd Lee has died"

Good.

FWIW, if not for LA's law requiring arrestee's DNA to be collected and entered in a database, Lee would likely never have been caught.

This law also enabled LA to solve a cold case from the 1970's, south of Houston, that I recall from my childhood. A teenaged girl was abducted, raped, and dumped near I-45, as told in the story "The Killing Fields". The perpetrator got away with it for decades, until the DNA match from Louisiana finally popped up. He confessed and was convicted.

Wonder how many more would be caught if we had something like that here...

10:04, I haven't read the LA statute, but MS does have a DNA collection statute--Katie's law. Passed and signed in 2014 I think. Requires DNA collection in correlation with certain charges. Supported heavily by Governor Bryant and the Prosecutor's Association. Sponsored in the Senate by Brice Wiggins.

I was an undergrad at LSU when he was killing and lived in an apt down the road from Carrie Yoder (his last noted victim). It was super scary. I was walking to class when her body was wheeled into the FACES forensic lab at LSU. I carried a stun gun and knife on me at all times. What made things worse is that the police were going off an antiquated FBI profiling system that told all of us to look out for a white male. They did not even consider that he could be black or any other race.

On a side note, there was also a serial SNUGGLER going around LSU at the time as well. Kid you not, girls were waking up in the middle of the night with some guy snuggling/spooning them or massaging their feet. Crazy!

We all have our favorite sin(s) to rail against. Funny how it's always one that we don't commit. I would love to see Derrick Todd Lee in heaven when I die, along with all his victims. I, personally, do not wish eternal damnation on anyone. I realize I'm probably in the minority in that regard.

Good to hear from the 'Olive Branch Crowd'. The 'Oh Well' crowd. The same ones who would vow to sit down with our enemies over tea and crumpets. The 'I hope to see him in Heaven' crowd, 'so we can sit in a circle and hold hands over a pot of bean soup and talk shit out'.

Read the comments of Mrs. Pace in today's Clarion Ledger you sanctimonious, pussy-whipped tools.

"Heeding the teachings of Jesus Christ" = "pussy whipped"?

"This law also enabled LA to solve a cold case from the 1970's,"
Eugenie Boisfontaine was killed in 1997.

"south of Houston,"
South east of Baton Rouge.

"that I recall from my childhood."
Not very well.

"A teenaged girl"
Eugenie was 34 years old.

"was abducted, raped, and dumped near I-45,"
I-45 is 400 miles from Bayou Manchac.

"as told in the story "The Killing Fields"."
Not that story. "The Killing Fields" is the story of Eugenie.

"The perpetrator got away with it for decades,"
He is still getting away with it.

"until the DNA match from Louisiana finally popped up. He confessed and was convicted."
Not unless it is a different case. Eugenie's killer has not been identified, but Derrick Todd Lee has been excluded based on DNA results.

As a Catholic, and one who has wrestled painfully with this question, I cannot applaud a killing, not even the killing of a killer. Oh, I want to. Part of me would have happily pulled the switch on this one. But...I can't. In my prayers and meditations, I put myself in the place of Ann Pace, and of all parents of murdered children, and the sentiment wells up---KILL THE BASTARD WHO DID THIS!! But nothing will bring a murdered one back to life. Nothing can atone.

I can't rejoice in anyone's death, even trash like this man. But, I can rejoice that the public is free of the obligation to feed, house, and lawyer him further. He has been a burden to society, a burden to families left behind from these brutal murders, and a burden to those who hate the memory of the violence he stirred. Mostly the thing many of us might rejoice over is the end of possibility for liberals to find a loophole via which they could further torture victim's families. One never knows, so long as a criminal lives, what unreasonable, unrighteous, lib-approved, justice-for-the-killer tweak a lowlife defense lawyer will bribe out via corrupt courts. So long as killers tried, convicted, and awaiting death linger, the public has to watch for tricks. His tricks just ran out. And, as a Christian, I do honestly hope he came to know the love of God and to regret and repent of his actions. Hopefully one day liberals who defend this kind of activity and support killers, torturers, and sadists and wish to loose them into communities will also come to know the reality of this world. Until then a dead murderer is one who won't kill again. God rest his soul.

This is the victim I was thinking of. There were 30 of them, and I got her confused with all of those that were found in the 1970's. Her disappearance actually occurred in the 90's:

Krystal Baker: 13, from Texas City, Texas. Last seen at a convenience store. Discovered March 5, 1996.

16 years after Krystal Jean Baker's beaten, raped and strangled body was found, Kevin Edison Smith was arrested and convicted for her murder.[1] In 2009, Smith had been arrested on a drug charge in Louisiana, and around the same time a detective tested Krystal Baker's dress for DNA and the match was confirmed using advanced modern-day technologies that were not available at the time of Krystal's disappearance.[8] The jury deliberated for no more than 30 minutes before Smith was sentenced to life in prison.[9]

Murray was my student and who I wanted my daughter to model her life after. There are some souls that can't be saved. Me. Todd is one.
