| The man may be on death row, but so what? I bet there are all kinds of low lifes on myspace worldwide that have done just as bad of things as this guy did.... we just don't know about it. People need to be aware of the pages they look at online. If they are blind and get taken advantage of online, then maybe they might learn something.

True...
I say that its not up to myspace to delete the page unless the content on it is bad enough to cause a panic and delete... because they can do that at anytime.
If its on a private setting, then what is the big deal I say... most people can't look at it anyway.

| I do think his myspace should have been deleted even on the basis his profile had nothing to do with his crime. It's true that there are many other predators on myspace who haven't been caught. Deleting his myspace just ethically shows they don't support his crime now that they have been aware of it, true that should be implied yet, actions ethically represent our morals and myspace should show it's ethical character by not associating themselves with him considering their popularity.

| I totally agree that prisoners should not have the same freedoms as the rest of us. It's unfortunate that there is so much leeway, exactly how can we call this punishment.

| There is a sence of responsibility on some parts of my space however i am torn in these two decisions. in one aspect i see a slain police officer however i wonder is the issue of myspace only a huge issue because it was a police officer that was slain (no disrespect to the deceased or to the officers of the law), and would the same issues would have been raised if it were a regular middle class man that has no "importance" in society or has made no life altering contributions. Another issue that i see as a problem is how is society supposed to be held responsible for the myspace pages of this man when there is almost one million pages; once i thought about that issue i thought about the issue of telephones being tapped because they can listen in on telephone conversations and look at emails that people send,so there is a way that they can look at myspace and filter out the garbage that is being written on these pages and ultimately it could have saved a life. Yes the constitution is there to protect us as citizens however there are so many BUT IF clauses that many crimes are excused on technicalities and this is one of them.

| WOW WHEN I READ THIS POST I FELT LIKE i should have changed my answer. you looked at the question in a different respect then i did and thats what made your answer different. your perspective was looking more at myspace then the criminal actions. very interesting that you would take that approach very good answer!

| I agree with you completely. Myspace is a free service offered to the public, my problem is with the prison giving him internet access.

I dont believe its right for anyone of moral negativity, to have a myspace. Oops!! that would mean no one would have a right to have one. I dont believe its myspace duty to remove the page. There are other web sites besides myspace whom of which have prison inmates online. I do however feel like the department of corrections has a duty to regulate which inmates have internet access. To be completely honest, I completly disagree with inmates having internet access at all. At the very least i believe the prison should deny this particular inmate and inmates like him internet acess at all. Not because they are dangerous, simply because its not only prison, ITS DEATH ROW. There are law abiding citizens who cant afford internet access. So why should there tax money provide it for someone else ?
_ Although i just watched the news story.. And my answer has now changed. According to the news these inmates dont have internet access and their page is maintained by someone on the outside of prison. Therefore this guy doesnt even see whats on his page. Also the page could have been created by a good friend to pay tribute, to him he is going to lose his life in the near future. If all he is doing is asking others to send him letters i dont have a problem with that. (sorry for not watching it in the beggining)

The first thing that everyone has to understand is "HE DOES NOT HAVE INTERNET ACCESS" someone is on the outside posting his messages and then giving him the return mail. Thats the first misunderstanding.
When you were a kid and did something wrong and I guess I can only speak for myself, I would have some things if not every thing I cherished taken away until I changed or fixed whatever caused this to happen.
He should have thought first before commting the crime he did, CHOICES are something we all have in life some good ones and some bad ones, but you still can decide on the severity of the bad ones that you are going to commit. If you COOSE too. MURDER is just that "MURDER". I got a ticket one time that I knew was crap or just to make the quota and what happens insurance, traffic school, court all types of inconviences but "MURDER".
I have a nephew that is incarcerated right now for "MURDER" serving a 35 to LIFE sentence and I love him to death but is that going to bring that other person back, is going to change what happened, AND AGAIN IF IT WAS YOUR HUSBAND, BROTHER, CHILD WHATEVER HOW WOULD YOU REALLY FEEL?????

It would be nice to see myspace not allow an account to be accessed from prisons/jails.

Vanaus,
I don't believe that they should have the same freedoms that we law abiding citizens have. They gave up those freedoms when the chose to take someone else’s away, however slight. They are prisoners and should be treated as such.
