I'm Against the Death Penalty in Practice

...but I'm willing to make an exception for a killer who admits to stabbing his own 8-year old daughter in the eyes.

A judge denied bail for 34-year-old ex-convict Jerry Hobbs after prosecutors said he admitted in videotaped and written statements to beating and stabbing his daughter Laura Hobbs and 9-year-old Krystal Tobias on Mother's Day.

He claimed the older girl pulled a knife on him, but prosecutors said they doubt that.

He also then asked how was he, an older, larger, ex-convict was supposed to be able to effectively disarm a 9-year old girl without stabbing her multiple times and then turning the knife on his unarmed daughter*.

It was self-defense, your Honor! Self-defense!

Put a bullet in his head and be done with this piece of human garbage.

* Based on the story, I'd say there were no chainsaws handy.
