hey esty it is kimmy..
it was really interesting reading about this case for the name caught my attention. I can’t believe that a father would actually do that to a girl let alone his daughter, that is really not cool. I actually agree with you that he should be in death row for doing that, but i disagree on having him be pending if he is going to be on death row or not. I think he should automatically get punished and not wait., because that is really terrible knowing some girl was abused. I also agree that that will scar her for life. …..what a terrible thing to under go ……

I think that the man should remain on deathrow because what he did was a very serious crime and shouldnt be taken lightly. If he is just let go then he will most likely just go back to his old ways.

I think that Patrick Kennedy got what he deserved, for doing such a horrific and brutal crime to an 8 year-old, not to mention this was his step-daughter. And not to mention this girl might now be hurt psychologically, after someone doing such a thing to her at a very young age.

I think that what estuardo pointed was true just because
the girl was very young at the age she was raped.
Specially she was raped by her own step - father.
and according the 8th amendment, this act
WAS cruel & unusual punishment so he
has the rights to be in death row.

I agree with you of him being on death row just because she was only 8 years old. Good job on oyur blog.

I think that the Supreme Court made the right decision to put Patrick Kennedy on a death row for what he did. In my opinion, he should have more consequences for what he did because the girl was 8 years old. Instead of Patrick Kennedy being a role model, he has set a bad example for his step-daughter. That is my opinion. -Eduardo-

I agree that the guys should be on death row. it is not right for the girl to remember the bad thing that happend in her life. The girl is still a minor under the age of 12. I don’t really think that his punishment is cruel and unusual punishment.
