Life in prison is too good for this scum bag. In fact a quick death is too good. This guy needs to get a good beating then a long, hellish painful death by torture!! The prisons are full of animals like this and they need to pay big time for their crimes!!

Reform? This is what happens when we let them out of prison, but then again we are paying billions of dollars (of our taxes) to pay for them behind bars. And people don't want the death penalty...

Believe me, these guys don't change. Whoever believes they do, they also believe in the Easter bunny.

It was Jeffrey Scott Noel, not Eldon. Friends and family knew him as "Scott." I too take comfort in knowing the convicted will take the rest of his breaths on earth in a cage. Too bad he gets any more breaths period!

i just looked at his kasper profile...it doesn't look like he was a "model" inmate. and the crimes he was previously imprisoned for don't exactly make him look nice either.

He name was Jeffery Scott Noel. It's funny you can get one name right-but not the victim. If Scott could only talk today!
