Ariel Castro: "I'm not a Monster" - sentenced to LIFE for 11 year kidnapping/rape

[austinite]

Obviously the guy is fụcked up in the head. But I'm curious what you all think of his speech. This is what he had to say:

Ariel Castro Speaks at his Sentencing - August 1, 2013 - Ariel Castro, the Cleveland man responsible for the kidnapping and rape of three women for more than a decade, testified at his sentencing hearing Thursday that, "I am not a monster.

"I'm a very emotional person so I'm going to try and get it out," Castro said. "I was a victim of sex acts, when I was a child. This led me into viewing pornography for my whole life.

"These people are trying to paint me as a monster, I'm not a monster. I'm sick. I'm impulsive," Castro said. " When I picked up the first victim, I didn't even plan it that day."

Castro said the daughter he fathered with captive Amanda Berry would call him the best dad.

"I have an addiction just like an alcoholic has an addiction," Castro said. "Most of the sex that went on in that house was consensual. There was times that they would even ask me for sex. These girls were not virgins from their testimony to me. They had multiple partners before me -- all three of them."

Castro, 53, pleaded guilty to 937 charges last week, including aggravated murder, rape and kidnapping, to avoid the death penalty. Under terms of the plea deal, he'll get life imprisonment, plus 1,000 years, with no chance for parole.

Castro kidnapped Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight between 2002 and 2004, fathering a Christmas Day child with Berry. The girl is now 6. He also beat and starved Knight when she became pregnant, forcing her to miscarry five times.

I watched this last night.He was all over the place, could barely complete a thought or sentance. No accountability. HOpe he rots in a cage for life!! I think he got Life plus 1000 years, what I heard anyway.

Life in Prison will be nice on that guy


That's too much


Shit, you see horror movies made from

Loco

[V-ROID]

I think what he is trying to say is "Please kill me now and save the taxpayers millions of dollars". Should we honor his wish now? Or throw him in gen-pop to be truly sentenced for 11 years first?

[jasc]

Life + 1,000 yrs will be good. If he received the death penalty he'd just continue to appeal and cost us taxpayers too much.

I live around that area and the community hate for him is unreal. If he goes in general population he'll be killed in short fashion.

[krugerr]

I'm sure he'll be dealt with once he hits gen-pop in whatever prison he goes too. The inmates have a way of dealing with sickos, rapists and child molesters. I hope he suffers.

[V-ROID]

I have a feeling he will be safer in prison than anywhere else on earth. He will be quarantined everywhere he goes. You never now though, it might be worth getting fired over for a couple of the guards to look the other way... Nothing is too bad for this guy IMO.

It happens. People are accidentally transferred to the wrong wings all the time.

[ac guy]

He gives monsters a bad name. Love how he justifies his actions by saying the victims had previously had sex with other men. No punishment strong enough for this scumbag.

[< <Samson> >]

I think some special torture plan could be applied here.

But, I do think a bit in general population will really go that way anyway.

[AD]

he is getting exactly what he deserves. getting locked up against his will, and soon to be forced into having sex against his will.

Ariel Castro's victims silent, lawyer says suicide not 'happy ending' - CNN.com

[RajaSultan]

felt sorry for him until i read that he starved knight, now that would not be a good father, and people should've just made him some drug to stop his dopamine levels or stuff, they are the main reason why fappers can't stop fapping.

[DSM4Life]

This pretty much summed up my thoughts on it:

" The prosecutor who tried Castro called him a "coward" unable to withstand "a small portion" of what he had inflicted."

Pisses me off that he "offed" himself. In the end it was his last slap in the face to those girls by exercising control. Jail house love ED till a ripe old age would have been more fitting.

[SVTmuscle]

I bet it was an in-house job, and they care so little about this piece of shit that they are calling it a suicide...well done!

[Shol'va]

You guys wanna hear something funny? Well I'm listening to talk radio coming home from the lake yesterday and some cuban guy calls in and says he heard Castro died. so he and his other Cuban friends here in the states were celebrating since early hours of his death. He goes on to say that now all of Cuba is free from this tyrant. Bhahahaha And the talk show host never told him that it wasn't Fidel who was dead.

[--->>405<<---]

^^^ LOL.. now thats funny! poor bastard.. imagine his dismay when he learns the truth..

[austinite]

A lawyer that says "Wrotten" instead of the actual word, Written, is not a lawyer I ever want on my side.

[chi]

LOL @ the cuban people who thought that
