    • I think his problems extend way beyond that “solution”. Seems he would have killed someone sooner or later.

  • When its about violence or rape on women & children, game over! Lock him up and throw the keys away! May he leave the joint one day with a tag on his toe.

    • Actually, he will. He got consecutive life sentences. I’m surprised given that the murder was heinous and gravity of violence that he did not get the death penalty.The boys will be waiting for him.

      • If it were in the states, most likely, but I’m not sure if Puerto Rico has a death penalty.

      • Yes, we all know what happens to child rapists and murderers in jail. To be a pro boxer won´t help, he crossed a line.

  • Bye bye, dickhead. Now you get to spend the rest of your life in “pound you in the ass prison.”

  • The PR Federal Prison is probably worse than any US Prison. State or Federal. He is getting what he deserves.

  • Pure evil mad the tax payers don’t deserve our monies being wasted on long term care of a rabid animal. Before becoming a father, you see these stories and feel bad for the victims, but once you’re a parent, these cases hit on a different level.

    I used to be against the death penalty, but with these types of crimes, I would place them on the express lane. 6 months to clear your name then it’s curtains.

  • He could not get over his career falling apart so he lashed out. Made wrong decisions. Had to face the music like a man and keep it moving. Now he lost his life.Dumbass…

  • So true about a staying in the movie Bronx Tale. “Saddest thing in life is waisted talent” justice was done for tha mother and the unborn child.
