Good reason to bring back public torture and execution:

It always amazes me that people like this exist. Absolutely disgusting.

[quote:1rf23z4f]"ALTON, Illinois (AP) -- Banished to the basement, the 29-year-old mother with a childlike mind and another baby on the way had little more than a thin rug and a mattress to call her own on the chilly concrete floor.

Dorothy Dixon ate what she could forage from the refrigerator upstairs,[b:1rf23z4f] where housemates used her for target practice with BBs, burned her with a glue gun and doused her with scalding liquid that peeled away her skin.[/b:1rf23z4f]

They torched what few clothes she had, so she walked around naked. [b:1rf23z4f]They often pummeled her with an aluminum bat or metal handle.

Hayes said things apparently came to a head Jan. 30, when investigators believe that Woods, during a dispute, beat Dixon on the head with an object Hayes wouldn't identify. The next day Woods found her dead.

Hayes watched the autopsy and found her injuries disturbing. [b:1rf23z4f]X-rays revealed roughly 30 BBs lodged in her. Deep-tissue burns covered about one-third of her body -- her face, her chest, her arms and feet -- and left her severely dehydrated. Her face and body showed signs of prolonged abuse. Many of her wounds were infected.[/b:1rf23z4f]"
