<p>I hear that he is on suicide watch. What a waste. Why protect him? If he wants to kill himself, let him. It’ll save a lot of money in the court system. Here, leave some rope lying around while we are at it.</p>
<p>I hope he doesn’t kill himself. I think he should suffer long and hard and sample a taste of what he put those girls through. I also think it would cheat the victims. If he dies by his own hand, HE is still calling the shots. These girls need to see him held accountable.</p>
<p>I definitely don’t want him to commit suicide until we’re sure we have complete information about any other potential victims. If there are other girls out there that he victimized, those parents deserve to know.</p>
<p>Suicide is far too easy of a way out for this waste of air.</p>
<p>^^agreed. Throw him in with the general prison population. Even incarcerated felons have moral standards.</p>
<p>I may have missed this mentioned on here, but I read that he had previously written a suicide note a few years back, and indicated that he left all his possessions to his victims. I imagine there really isn’t much in the way of assets, but if he killed himself, I wonder if that would hold up?</p>
<p>Upon his death, Castro wrote, all of his money should be distributed to the victims.</p>

<p>also Castro’s ex brother in law, reported that the house Castro locked the women in was the house he and former wife raised their kids in. Bil says he passed by the house a year or so ago and wondered why it was boarded up. If this is true, and neighbors already had suspicions/concerns, why wouldn’t that trigger another 911 call? who boards up a house they are living in??

<p>I remember hearing on CNN that several houses in the area have boarded windows.</p>
<p>I might think boarded up windows are curious, but it wouldn’t suggest to me that the police should get involved.</p>

<p>I feel like we should resurrect death penalty for this guy.</p>
<p>I still think death is the easy way out. </p>
<p>Women and child abusers/rapists are lower than scum in prisons. There are also many in prison who have no desire to leave and have nothing to lose. You do the math. </p>
<p>Or, just keep him in the hole for 23+ hours a day like it seems he did to these women for the rest of his life.</p>
<p>romanigypsyeyes, that about sums up where I’m coming from, too.</p>
<p>However, I think it’s appropriate that they put the death penalty on the table and bargain down to life in prison in order to get him to plead guilty. I don’t want to see those poor victimized women have to take the stand and testify.</p>
<p>No way the women need to be on the stand, whatever is necessary for him to be “in the hole” as romanigypsyeses says, that is what he desrves!</p>
<p>Good point, hayden. Unless he’s like Arias who wants the death penalty. We’ll see. </p>
<p>“The hole” is solitary confinement if anyone’s unfamiliar with the terminology. Which normally I see as cruel and unusual punishment, but I’m willing to make a large exception for him (yes, I’m a hypocrite- don’t care).</p>
<p>I so disagree about the hole. On the contrary, I think every guard and inmate should have a key to his cell so they can come by for a little visit any time they want.</p>
<p>If the guy is dead the victims cannot fear him any longer. If he is alive he will be able to make interviews with press thereby victimizing the woman each time he gives an interview. Sometimes when victims testify is has a healing effect of allowing them to be in a position of power over their aggressor. It depends on the victim of course.</p>
<p>I’m OK with letting the survivors decide his fate.</p>
<p>A locked part of a house, absent constant inflow of food from McDonalds, is more likely to mean someone has a collection of valuable whatever (stamps, baseball cards) that would be at risk of theft if word got out.</p>
<p>But I read that infrared detectors have been used to remotely detect marijuana growing activities, without any need for a warrant or physical entry. Possibly this technology could be used to detect people living in a house.</p>
