That's ok...some of us will harbor love and compassion for the victim and her family. We will never forget her...and we will keep her tucked away in our hearts.

I've followed this story from the beginning. His trial was held not far from where I live. He was also captured on the wiretap telling his girlfriend that he killed 13 people, but there is no evidence of that. I feel so sorry for her parents. They are still in the U.S. and they just unveiled a memorial for Yingying in Champaign. Her remains will never be found, which only increases the pain her parents are going through. I really hope he gets the death penalty, and this is a federal case, Illinois abolished the death penalty.

Just stop it, you are obviously against the death penalty. I for one don't agree with you.

I don't wish horrible, ghastly things done to this monster, much as he would deserve it. I simply want him gone. Purged from the face of the earth. Killed, as expeditiously as possible. He does not deserve to breathe the same air as we do, not after what he did to that poor young woman. There is no reason for him to be allowed to exist.

No, they shouldn't. Unless there's evidence of abuse by them or they're hiding something about his past, they may very well be as shocked by this as everyone else. They're parents, not mental health care professionals.

I doubt he is suffering mentally based especially on the article below:

That just tells me that me that he is certainly evil, and as wicked as a man can be. He has no place amongst the civilized...definitely a demon in human form.
You have no idea how he feels about prison. His biggest thrill has been taken from him. The old Western movie quote, "Hanging is too good for him." applies here. He may manage to kill someone in prison, but it just wouldn't be as satisfying as being able to dismember someone.

Since it seems that he is intelligent and has been a good student, perhaps he will be given the chance to teach something to his fellow inmates. Some of them will eventually be released, and I'd like the best possible outcome.

I googled the killer's name to see what he looked like. Nearly every photo that exists online with his image has his victim's photo right next to his as a 2-for-1 special. I wish they would stop doing this. Victim's families must be aghast that their loved ones' images are being involuntarily permanently attached to the monsters that took their lives. I wish they would stop doing this - in many cases, the victim had nothing to do with their predator/murderer, but will forever be paired with some vile being's mug like some sick forced coupling.

I get that you would like to see him succeed and be rehabilitated in prison. That's commendable. But I wonder if he has the ability to any good deeds. Or moreover, the desire to do good. Lets keep in mind that he laughed and boasted when describing the murder to his girlfriend. This is a very evil man who enjoyed torturing and murdering his victim. You speak of the killer in a kind and compassionate manner. Some people feel this way about killers. I don't think he will survive long in prison if and when he is placed into general population. I think he will remain in protective custody for the rest of his life though. I am sure he would meet the same fate that Jeffrey Dahmer met, otherwise.

I don't support cruel and unusual punishment either, but we really should "unplush" our America prisons. Inmates are treated better than our loved ones in nursing homes. And let's face it, no one is going to waltz into one of our prisons and start shooting inmates. They are better protected than America's children.

51,000 New York State prisoners receive personal laptop computers with which to email their families and listen to music. Those computers should have gone to our schools instead... or to adult care centers... or to our veterans.
