Am I changing my mind about capital punishment?
Probably not, but this trial in Belgium (Marc Dutroux - I'm sure you're aware of it) is possibly the kind of thing that might make me switch. There really does seem to be no doubt that this man is a monster and keeping him alive is pointless.
One of his victims who survived, Sabine Dardenne, has just been giving evidence in court. A very brave young lady indeed.
Another survivor, Laetitia Delhez, is due to give evidence tomorrow.
