Justice: AoSHQ Style [Jack M.]

With a little bit of "Oz" thrown in for good measure.

Or do I repeat myself?

The Title to the Article really says it all: "Victim's Name Tattooed on Child Killer's Forehead".

And, as a matter of fact, it was:

The kicker? It appears that the tatooing may have been done by other inmates.

Anthony Stockelman, serving a life sentence at the Wabash Correctional Facility for killing Katie Collman, was found with the words "Katie's Revenge" on his forehead.

Corrections officials at the facility are investigating the matter, and have contacted state police to assist in the investigation.

Officials said Stockelman is now being held in protective custody. Officials said they aren't sure if the tattoo was done by another inmate. Katie's father John Neace heard about it from friends, and figures other prisoners are responsible.

Of course, I have no doubt that this Stockelman pervert will eventually sue the State's prison system for allowing him to be "victimized" in this way. And he will probably be able to force the State to pay for getting the tattoo removed as well.

But the thought of him having to wake up and look at that in his mirror for the next several years?

That's justice.

Prison justice.

UPDATE: Dan Riehl alerts me (and provides a link) to the fact that a blog broke the original story which led to the TV News account that I linked to at the beginning of the piece. Since the TV account didn't mention this, I was unaware that a blogger had originally broken the story. The above link takes you there now.The blogger, Lilo, has some follow up info about how the parent's of the dead little girl have gone on to do some inspirational things. You should stop by and read the piece.
