Baby Killer Thug In Court Today

From The Las Vegas Sun: "The man accused of killing a 4-month-old boy with a medieval-style battle ax and severely injuring the child’s mother by chopping both of them as they strolled through a residential neighborhood made his first court appearance this morning, where his attorneys said they are proceeding cautiously because their client could face the death penalty."..Montague is facing multiple felony counts, including murder, attempted murder and attempted murder of a police officer in connection with an attack late Thursday morning in the 1600 block of San Pedro Avenue, near Sahara Avenue and South Maryland Parkway.
Authorities said the attack appeared to be random in nature and a motive wasn’t known, although Montague’s wife told the news media her husband was having a “mental episode” and that he had been diagnosed as a sociopath as a child.
The baby was identified Friday afternoon as 4-month-old Damian Avila Castro, of Las Vegas. Police identified the injured woman in their report as the boy’s mother, Sandra Lisset Castro. She was taken to Sunrise Hospital in extremely critical condition and underwent emergency surgery for multiple head injuries.
Montague is also accused of attacking his sister-in-law, Monica O’Dazier, by stabbing her more than 20 times with the pointed end of the ax. She was listed as being in good condition Sunday at University Medical Center." http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/feb/16/man-accused-fatal-ax-attack-makes-courts-appearanc/
I have one problem. This was just a bail hearing- why did he have two public defenders attorneys? This is just a waste of time and money for a bail hearing. Perhaps there is just a little bit of fat in the public defenders office.
I think the death penalty is appropriate in this case- that cannot be denied. But because of the crime against an innocent baby, perhaps just putting him the general population will accomplish the same thing, just in a shorter time. Prison justice tends to be a lot quicker and inflict a lot more pain. Either way, this thug is not going to get out of jail alive, which is a good thing.
