    Marc’s face and demeanor just come to life and shines when speaking of Polly. My heart breaks for this dear man and I’m so sorry he’s faced with trying to fight this decision. What strength he must have. I’m sure he will continue to go forward with all of the good he’s doing.

    Davis flipped off the jury, television cameras, and claimed not to sexually assault Polly because she said: "don't do me like your daddy." That was a jab at Marc Klaas for insisting the killer of his 12 year old daughter get the death penalty. Davis has not shown an iota of remorse; in fact, he was bragging while he was in prison before Polly's murder that he was going to kidnap and kill someone. The reason why he chose Polly was because she was so young Davis thought he wouldn't infect himself with AIDS. There are some lives that are simply not worth saving, and one of those is Richard Allen Davis. I'd kill Davis myself if the CA Dept. of Corrections would let me.

He does not represent the 48% of Californians that disagree. These are Horrible MONSTERS! These arent pillars of the community. This man (Marc Klaas ) has suffered so much. Scott Pererson is another example of a monster. Disguised as a husband and father. I talk about Marc a lot on the Janey Peterson debacle videos! That Marc took a polygraph and would have done absolutely anything to find his girl. I can not imagine his pain/ fear/. These killers have NO REMORSE. NONE! 8 yrs of Gov Newsome is an act of pure evil!!
