When is our judicial system going to realize that so many of these sex offenders not only REPEAT – but ESCALATE – to “leave no witness”? If you won’t kill the disgusting wastes of oxygen – at LEAST put them somewhere away from society (and especially children) where the only one’s they can harm are each other.

PANAMA CITY — Eight out of 12 jurors recommended Friday that Matthew Caylor be put to death for raping and killing a 13-year-old girl.

Eight jurors then stayed in court to see what happened next to Caylor. They witnessed Circuit Judge Dedee Costello scheduling him for two more hearings and ordering a pre-sentence investigation.

Costello scheduled a hearing for Nov. 18 for the attorneys to present legal argument as to Caylor’s penalty. Sentencing will be Dec. 11.

Hell is waiting, Caylor!!

After more than five hours of deliberation, a 12 person jury finds Matthew Caylor guilty of all counts as charged: first degree murder, sexual battery, and aggravated child abuse.

When the clerk announced the verdict, Melinda’s family burst into tears, after a draining week of hearing in detail how their teenage daughter was raped and murdered.

My sympathy goes to Melindas family and friends, that would be extremely difficult to listen to and not go all vigilante on Caylor, especially the defense trying to say that she seduced the pedo….

Friday is the penalty phase where jurors will recommend a punishment. The judge has the final say. The state is pursuing the death penalty

A short time after confessing to Smith, Caylor called his father from a phone at the Bay County Jail. The conversation was recorded. Caylor’s father said it was the last call he would accept from him.

“You got 2 minutes,” the father said.

“I got a murder charge,” Caylor said. “I’m never coming back to Georgia. I’ll probably get the death sentence.”

“Matthew …” his father said.

“I just snapped. I just lost it,” Caylor said. “I hope I do get (the death penalty).”

“If you did it, you deserve it,” his father said.

The conversation abruptly ended when Caylor said, “It was a 13-year-old girl I killed.”

Closing arguments tomorrow and the jury will deliberate, I’m betting 1 hour is all it takes to convict him and recommend death….

PANAMA CITY — Deputy Public Defender Walter Smith on Monday hoped to find 14 people who were open to the argument Matthew Caylor had consensual sex with a 13-year-old girl, then killed her out of meanness and not premeditation.

This was during the jury selection!! Trial starts tomorrow!!

I’ll be watching….

The real struggle for the family is to forgive this man as they are commanded.

We might all be better off if the family were commanded to kill this shithead instead of forgive him.

Speaking of killing him, they’re seeking the death penalty. And apparently he’s on suicide watch.

“Two inmates hung themselves while in the Bay County Jail in recent years, one in 2001 and one in 2005.”

Hmmmmm. 2008 isn’t over yet….

I am already miserable when I have to stay in a hotel alone, thanks to that scene in “The Shining” where the 2 twins appears at the end of the hallway, the idea this man spent the night in a room and never knew this poor girl was right there under the bed pretty much put me right over the edge

And I agree, people take it way too far always blaming the parents. True a lot of posts on this site, a child is killed by their parent, or someone the parent put them in contact with due to a relationship that was more important than their childs safety, but to assume blame like that in this case is just wrong and adds to her grief, I’m sure

The family had just moved from Kentucky, people DO sometimes relocate and need time to find a place to live or job, etc and they stay in motels or extended stay places. The girl was 13, not 7, and was out to walk a dog at probably 630pm or so (if the call to report her missing was at 810pm), not out at 1am. I don’t see the mom really did anything in bad judgement with that, its entirely the fault of the man who killed her. And the authority’s who kept letting him go over and over again

How terribly sad, to know that a child is dead at the hands of your ex. How sad to know, how you repeatedly tried to keep this man in jail, only to have the law release him to terrorize your family – or worse, in this case, rape and murder a 13 year old girl, with her whole life ahead of her. My prayers for this little girl and her family. My prayers to his past victim in post #3. My prayers to anyone who crossed this asshat’s path, while he was not locked up.

Even more fucked up is that this asshat apparently has a 13 year old daughter of his own according to the victim in post #3. Wow. Just wow.

Yeah, let’s not get on him.

Heh.

LMAO, ok now Lizard! That is horrendous though, seriously. Poor guy, I can’t imagine the trauma. I’m wondering how those beds are, do they have a bedskirt or something? I can’t imagine not noticing a body under there, but I guess unless you actually think to look under the bed, you would miss it.
