Edward Downey guilty of murdering Calgary girl, 5, and her mother

'Callous' killer Edward Downey gets life sentence with no parole for 50 years for murder of mother and child

I looked at the picture of the daughter and tears came to my eyes.

Me too, when it happened. Mainly because she was killed much later than her mother, and that's why this dirtbag got consecutive sentences. They were two different crimes.

Stories like this make me momentarily want the death penalty, then the accused gets 50 years in prison and I'm okay we don't have it.

I hope this guy rots in there.

Slowly...

He will be 96 before he's eligible for parole, assuming he doesn't get shanked in the shower for killing a beautiful little child, and lives that long.

It will be slow.

I'm sure the prison guards will just rush to his aid if he gets shanked. But really, he'll be banished to the SHU. A fate worse than death.

Put him in white clothes and then put him in a white cell with white fixtures for the rest of his life.

He deserves it.

The cell needs 200w white light. So it's both bright and hot.

Agreed.

Also, for those not familiar with this phenomenon it's been discovered by some very nice people that one of the most effective forms of torture is to place a person in a confined monochromatic environment...and the most effective color is white.

After a few months exposure to this the people subjected to it are known to cover their walls in their own blood and shit just so they can see a different color.
