8 Yr Old Tied To Tree and Burned - dies (murder, sex offenders, news)

before his 21st birthday. He finally told who did this to him on his deathbed. One of the saddest stories you will ever read.

Robbie Middleton: Will horrifically-burned victim convict alleged killer Don Collins from beyond the grave? | Mail Online

Agreed- probably the saddest story I've read. His killer needs to be locked up - forever - if he is guilty and it sounds like he is. Cases like this make me think "an eye for an eye" punishment wouldn't be unjust, either.

I wonder why this Don Collins person hasn't been murdered already by someone in Middleton's family or by a hitman. This crime was committed over a decade ago.

The kid didn't name his attacker until he was on his deathbed. Probably too scared.

I hope someone manages to get those pictures inside the prison with Collins. Even if he's in a segregated area of the prison just for sex offenders, his life is going to suck.

Maybe they'll put him in protective custody. I chatted online with a prison guard that said that that level of isolation drives the prisoner slowly and painfully insane over time.

Can you imagine being the public defender that got stuck defending this piece of trash? (Assuming it is a public defender). He or she probably goes home and pukes every day after court.

I feel terrible for the victim and his family.
