Trivia note: The torture murder of Jackson made it into the book "The Exorcist," yes the one made into the film. There is a page of quotes on the first page of the book, depicting the evil of society, and the Jackson murder is highlighted, memorialized forever in that great book about demonic possession.

The other took chopsticks and drove them into the ears of the seven little boys. How do you treat cases like that?
