OMG! What a sad story. I am always amazed by the irony of it all. The bad guys going scot-free and how the good guys who are trying to live a good honest life have to pay for it all.
Personally I have never supported capital punishment. It's like repaying an evil deed by another evil deed. And it becomes even worse when it is performed by the state.

I wouldn't blame Monkton for what he did given what he has been put through bu these thugs.
