I was hoping someone would beat him to death, but this is OK too. Glad the POS is dead, he should have been given the death sentence anyway. Of course that would have only taken 20 years to get done. His family said he appeared depressed, well isn't that just a crying shame. I'm sure those poor girls were far more than depressed thanks to him. I would think it would be easier on the girls with him gone. I feel so sorry for them.
He has no sympathy from me either. I have a hunch he decided to end it all after having threats on his life by other inmates and didn't want to go on living with those threats over his head. He took the cowards way out.
I wonder if his victims will feel safer, or more at ease, knowing he is dead. I wonder what tipped him over the edge to kill himself?
As I wrote on the other thread, I personally think his eternal punishment in purgatory will be worse than prison. But maybe he does not believe in God. Maybe he thought this was a quick way out. I don't think so.
His victims have to feel some sense of closure. Of course they would probably have liked him to get some of the punishment and depravity that he gave out. Knowing that he is dead and can never escape or haunt them again has to give them some sense of relief.
As far as what tipped him: He has been in control and doing exactly what he wanted to do when he wanted to do it. Everybody in his house feared him. Then he went into an environment where the table was turned - it was an alien world to him. He simply took the easy, cowards, way out.
As others have already pointed out: He did save the taxpayers cruel and unusual punishment for the rest of his life. When he killed himself he took the salaries of how many guards and how many lawyers with him to the grave? We all just wish that he suffered in the end.
One thing that struck me was how fast this whole ordeal was resolved in the courts. I mean, the girls were just rescued in May, I think, and by the beginning of September he was already tried, convicted, and (now) dead. I thought a trial of this magnitude would have dragged on forever, or at least would have taken months and maybe years to even get to trial.
I base that on ones like the Jodi Arias case. She was in jail for 4 years before it even got to trial, and then that went on forever. It looks like this Castro case was put in the express lane and zipped right through the system.
Don the difference here is Arias pleaded not guilty, a long drawn out trial. Castro pleaded guilty, short and to the point by the judge.
