(Newser) – Police found four more bodies today at the home of a convicted rapist in Cleveland, bringing the total to 10. Authorities also charged Anthony Sowell with five counts of aggravated murder, sources tell the Plain Dealer. Crews will spend the night digging up Sowell's yard in search of more victims. A search warrant obtained over the weekend gives police permission to dismantle the house “brick by brick.”

They may be doing it wrong, but that's the way it's done, and sticking your head in the sand on the issue isn't going to help a bit.

I'd say we thirst for justice. We're denied seeing it done in soooo many ways in our daily lives. Here we have a certified evil that needs to be cut out of society. Only one solution - and the blood of those women demands it.

If it costs more to execute, then they're doing it wrong. Freedom from cruel and unusual punishment is lost when you do something like this. Use a hammer. I'll do it for free.
