In the hands of the justice system  (by: CC  -   10/16/2012)

Yes, our hearts fill with rage by what has happened. There will never be an excuse, or anything that will make us understand why this has happened. We have a justice system in place to bring criminals before an earthly judge. Unfortunately, crimes like this do occur in other places, and those monsters have to stand trial as well. The justice system was put into place for a reason, and we must abide by it. Order has to be kept, otherwise, there would be a free-for-all. I know an angry mob of friends and loved ones bringing justice for Aaron seems like the right way, but we have to allow the system to work. No one wants their tax money to pay for them, but this is the way it works. Please remember that the family also reads these comments, and from I've understood, they do not condone the hatred. Their faith in God is strong, but these are very trying times for them. Do not allow hatred to fill your heart. This horrible tragedy should bring you all together closer as a community and family. Pray for strength and courage for not only the Doty family, but for yourselves. Create something positive in Aaron's name, a memorial foundation of some type. Do something that helps bring your community closer. Take your anger and rage and turn it into something positive. Justice will be served the right way on earth, and then they will have to stand before the ultimate judge in the end.

There are "NO" laws for people who stand and watch while a human being is being tortured and ultimately killed? Then this is were as a people we have to - LOBBY TO OUR CONGRESS MEN AND WOMEN TO LEGISLATE ON An "AARON DOTY LAW!" I hope that the family of this young man takes this all the way to the "WHITEHOUSE!" This can not happen again in this town nor anywhere! Jesus is coming soon, where is the LOVE! :''''

All that were there....you can now remember for the rest of your lives that Aaron was beat unconscious but unconscious people can hear what is going on around them. Check the internet.... they can hear! He could hear everything until the moment he left this world. Someone on here said something about beating them and burning them... don't worry, they WILL burn FOREVER...for the Bible tells ME so. By the way, first degree are the best words I have heard since the arrests! Thanks HCSO for such a great job in helping to reach this charge!!!! Pure evil!

I say we as a community put ALL OF OUR MONEY together hire the best att. In the country. Get them out ASAP....AND THEN THEN LET THE LOVED ONES OF AARONS TAKE CARE OF THEM..WHY SHOULD WE PAY FOR THEM TO BE WARM IN THE WINTER OR EAT HOT MEALS 3 TIMES A DAY. WE HAVE SO MANY ELDERLY PPL THAT WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE. COMFORT. THESE TWO WILL

The on looker are just as guilty as the murders. They should be sent to the ig prison and see just how the abuse feels when your still alive and someone does horrible things to you. all of them even the girls should go to prison for accessory to murder, I have no compasion for people like that

Justice for Aaron  (by: Barbara Jean  -   10/13/2012)

Everyone that was at the party should be punished as well. I find it hard to believe that no one stepped in to stop this. My prayers are with Aaron's family. I can't even imagine how this family is functioning since this happened. My heart aches for the family.

To Knysna, there are no laws on the books to punish them under thats why they have not been arrested.

There should be punishment for those who watched and did not do anything.Why should they be set free? They all carry up to date cell phones and did not use them.

Great.
Five years of trial proceedings.
Fifteen years on Death Row (if we're lucky) only to be reduced to life sentences.
Just release them now in the Walmart parking lot at a published date and time. We'll be there...

Save our tax dollars---Hit them in the head with a sledge hammer and set them on fire on the 1 year anniversary of Aaron's brutal murder.

Society does not need these kind of people.

Murderers,Felipe and Rodriquez  (by: Lisa Schuler  -   10/12/2012)

This is great news for all whose lives were changed in so many ways,suddenly,forever. However,I do not feel that my tax dollars should have to feed and house these two animals. I would much rather see it spent on two lethal injections,just to be kind. By the way,there is a typo where Aaron's last name was misspelled,paragraph two.
