Monsters, There Really are Monsters

Jessica “Jes” Padgett, the victim, was Graf’s stepdaughter, a mother of three. He shot her in the back of the head without warning and, as nearly as anyone can figure out, without motive, except just to kill her so he could… well, you’ll see. Then he made the video that sealed his fate.

He planned the crime in detail, choosing a day when his wife — Jessica’s mother — was out of state, buying sex toys the day prior, prepositioning a truck at the remote site where he planned to ditch Padgett’s car, and pestering her at work to come to his home to help with a computer problem. (Those strange, persistent calls, remembered by her co-workers, led police to Graf while Padgett was missing).

After he raped her dead body — filming the misconduct — he buried her in leaves on his rural property. After his confession, he drew a diagram of her location for the police, and they were able to recover the body. He also told them where to find the video.
Death is too good for this piece of garbage, much less life in prison. A guy like this merits drawing and quartering.

Extreme punishments used to be publicly viewed. To my way of seeing things, it is a good idea to contrast the publicity of atrocious acts (remember, any publicity is good publicity) with public viewing of the punishment thereby demeaning the actor and denouncing the act(s).
