Waseca, MN will never be the same after 12 year old Cally Jo Larson was raped and murdered in her own home by an illegal alien burglar. Another one of the horrific crimes in DP free Minnesota, which has caused Gov. Tim Pawlenty to demand that the DP be reinstated. Cally Jo Larson age 12 was raped and murdered in her home on April 20, 1999 by an intruder. A DNA match with Lorenzo Sanchez has led to his arrest, but the city of Waseca, Minnesota will never be the same again. We will always remember your smile Cally Jo! wvhm.waseca.k12.mn.us/Tour/callyjolarsonmemorial.htm Sorrow without hate.

In a surprise guilty plea, Lorenzo Sanchez chose a chance at parole in 30 years rather than face a March 27 trial that could have put him behind bars for the rest of his life. A phony Texas identification card (Sanchez is an illegal immigrant [alien] from Mexico) may have led to Cally Jo's murder. Sanchez told District Court Judge Lawrence Collins that he burglarized the Larson home and left, then realized he had misplaced his ID card. He returned to the house and was looking for the card when Cally Jo arrived home from school www.americanpatrol.com/_WEBARCHIVES2000/web030601.html Mon Mar 5 2001 21:18:55 Waseca, Minnesota Sanchez pleads guilty in murder of 12-year-old Cally Jo Larson -- (Star Tribune) Lorenzo Sanchez pleaded guilty today to one count of premeditated first-degree murder in the 1999 killing of 12-year-old Cally Jo Larson. Sentencing is scheduled for Tuesday morning; Sanchez will receive a life sentence, which means he will not be eligible for parole for 30 years.

On April 20, 1999, the vivacious seventh-grade gymnast was raped, stabbed and hanged by an intruder shortly after she got home from school. I found this fragmented article on the murder trial of Cally Jo. `Huge weight has been lifted,' relative says after sentencing; After coping with anger and grief, Cally Jo Larson's family says it's time to heal now that her admitted killer has been sentenced to life in prison.(NEWS) Star Tribune (Minneapolis, MN); 3/7/2001; Wolfe, Warren Nearly two years after an intruder bent on burglary raped and killed 12-year-old Cally Jo Larson, family members said Tuesday that their healing has begun. It happened when Lorenzo Sanchez, 29, admitted Monday that he killed the girl, and then on Tuesday, in a courtroom packed with about 90 of Cally Jo's relatives and friends, asked for the family's forgiveness. "Forgiveness - well, I have to leave that in God's hands. I'm unable to forgive an evil man who committed an evil act," Connie Larson, Cally Jo's mother, said a few hours after Sanchez was sentenced to life.

The cruel person who did this to you knew that the worst he was risking was early retirement, and Minnesota prisons are very secure and comfortable. Had we given this monster the DP I'm sure Dru Sjodin, Katie Poirer, Jolene Stuedemann, Erika Dalquist, Julie Holmquist and many other Minnesotans would very likely be alive today. The only language that such monsters understand and respect is terror. wvhm.waseca.k12.mn.us/1991-2000/Cally_Larson/audio.html

Now the family of this sweet child will have to help pay through their tax dollars for this murdering bastard to eat three times a day, hot water for his showers, medical attention, and heat for the building.
NO Death Penalty ? That is cruel and unusual punishment for her family.

How horrible for this little girl and her family.
How horrible for the USA citizens, that this murderer is an illegal alien...which means that he may get away with it entirely. Through a loop hole if his lawyer did not contact a conslar.

We are approaching the 7th "Sadanniversary" of the cruel event which took Cally Jo from us on April 20, 1999. I'm especially fond of this picture of Cally Jo. This picture is a beautiful avatar as well. I don't want our physically lost loved ones remembered in a dark and somber manner because that doesn't reflect their lives on Earth, which brought happiness and joy to so many who had the priviledge to meet them. The only thread i ever authored where the evildoers who cause these crimes are mentioned by name and pictured is at: prodp.proboards47.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1112366932 The evildoer, who took Cally Jo's physical presence from us is number 3 on the thread. The predator will be eligible for parole in about 10 years.

It is very sickening and downright unjust that the murderer will be eligible for parole at all.
What a lovely little girl and what a loss for all the world to never see her grow and smile.

And her own sister who found her has to forever live with the memory of what her little sister looked like after the murdering thing was finished with her... That poor family. I just hope that the murderer has to do every day of those measly 30 years for what he did to little Cally Jo.

A couple of comments.
Firstly, a case such as this cries out for justice, which 30 years in prison is most certainly not. I cannot begin to imagine the rage which Cally Jo's parents must feel, and I hope that the glimmers of comfort that they may find from the support of family and friends in their daily lives may become stronger and more frequent.
Secondly, how do we as a society live with ourselves if we decide to in essence sanction the crimes of a murderous bastard such as this man? Legislators in MN should hang their heads in shame, as should the citizens of the state who elected them and decide to sit idly while their government fails them.
Finally, in this tragic case the culprit was an illegal immigrant. Resist the temptation to assign added topical relevancy to it, given the current debate in America. A murderer is a murderer, period.
If our country had a firm, uniform, transparent, publicized, and swift system of judicial execution for a prescribed list of crimes, then people would obey the law, regardless of whether they were US citizens or not. Although I do not advocate that we implement their system of mandatory execution for those convicted of drug trafficking, the system in Singapore is instructive. Singaporean citizens or not, legally entered or not, very few people bring drugs into that country because everyone around the world knows you WILL be hanged if caught with anything over the listed quantities. It's as simple as that.

As far as dangerous sex offenders coming to the USA as legal or illegal immigrants-this issue should be addressed and such offenders not tolerated in the USA under any circumstances. My last post on this thread indicates that England doesn't prevent dangerous predators from legally entering it's country. prodp.proboards47.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1135219992I wonder if this is the case with the US as well.

Anna, your post of The Guardian article is shocking reading. I believe that the criminal justice system in Britain is reeling under the strains of obviously failed social democratic legal reform, and that the DP will eventually be brought back there. But that is another discussion.
I don't believe that I was implying that known offenders should be allowed to enter the US. Where information exists to enable authorities to prevent entry by non-US citizen felons, it must be utilized to ban these individuals.
Given that this type of information is almost never available to border control authorities, my point is that it doesn't matter anyway if someone enters illegally, which presumably would characterize someone with a criminal history who entered the US.
I'm just trying to help focus our debate here on the merits of the DP, and separate it from the populist arguments of those on both sides of the 'immigration' debate.

Minnesota is a non DP state. There have been quite a high number of predator crimes. There is for instance more rape percentage wise in MN than in Texas. The murderer of Carrie Coonrod moved to MN from a DP state where he was a convicted sex offender-presumably to avoid the DP which he deserved for what he did to Carrie. murdervictims.proboards18.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=news&thread=1111160327&page=1#1143387947I doubt that Cally Jo's murderer would have dared to commit such a horrible crime in Texas where he'd face the possibility at least of the DP.

I'm not sure that I agree, yet, that this bastard would not have committed his act in TX. The reputation of the State of TX as a relatively aggressive DP state does support your hypothetical. I'm just not convinced that it's publicized enough to actually deter anyone.
Our discussion points to an obvious problem that I'm sure has been addressed elsewhere on this Board - namely, that the existence of differing DP laws state by state and their effects on crime. Again, we need one DP law for the entire US.
I'll drop off here because I don't think the moderators want other DP topics in this section. Thanks,
