JUSTICE

In cases of first-degree murder, there are times when a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole is appropriate.  Let the bastard rot and die completely alone; best case scenario, he repents before God and accepts his fate as entirely earned.  But there are other occasions where such a sentence would, all by itself, be a crime against humanity.

I'll leave it to you to decide which one this is.

Watts told investigators his 4-year-old daughter, Bella, walked into his bedroom holding her blanket and asked what was wrong with her mom; he told her that Shanann didn't feel well, the report said.

 

Watts wrapped his wife face-down in a bed sheet and tried to carry her downstairs, but lost his grip and ended up pulling her down the stairs, the report said.

 

Bella watched her father drag her mother down the stairs and began to cry, and asked, “What’s wrong with mommy?” Watts told investigators.

 

Watts told investigators he put both daughters in the back of his truck on the bench seat, and he said Bella asked, “Is mommy okay?”

 

Bella and Celeste each had a blanket with them and Celeste had a stuffed animal, Watts told police, the report said.

 

Watts told police he put Celeste's blue Yankees blanket over her head and strangled her in the backseat, the report said.

 

When Watts returned to the truck, Bella asked him in her soft voice, “Is the same thing gonna happen to me as Cece?" he told police.

 

Watts told investigators he then strangled the 4-year-old with the same blanket, the report said. Bella fought back the best she could, according to investigators.

 

Bella's last words were “Daddy, no!” Watts told police, according to the report.
