On Tuesday a man named Danny James Heinrich told a Minnesota court and confessed the kidnapping and murder of at the time 11 year old Jacob Wetterling. At the time of the crime Danny was 26, he is now 53 and has decided to turn himself in after all this time. Jacob only had one question while being kidnapped "what did I do wrong". Heinrich described the sexual assault and murder of Jacob and also a separate attack on another boy who survived, as part of a plea deal with federal and state authorities designed to reveal what happened to Jacob and to recover his remains. Heinrich panicked upon hearing a police car, loaded his revolver, shot the boy and buried him in a place finally uncovered last week, federal authorities said. Heinrich agreed to make a full confession in court to Jacob's death, lead the authorities to the remains and receive a 20-year sentence for possession of child pornography. In exchange, the state dropped multiple counts of child pornography possession that carried a a potential life sentence in the federal system, and state authorities agreed not to prosecute him for murder, Luger said.

Be sure to use paragraphs to better effect. You also didn't comment to anyone which is worth 20 points.
My first question would be what is happening and why me. I can't picture or feel what it would be like to be taken and assulted or the fear he must have felt when he was taken and then the fear he felt seconds before he was murdered. I think so because he out right admitted it and he deserves to be charged with it. Murder is a serious crime and anyone who does it should be charged.
I think my first question would probably be why me or what are you going to do. I think that this man should have had a life sentence even though he turned himself in. A crime is a crime and their should be no leniency for murder and kidnapping. I think the family deserves for this man to receive his rightful punishment to protect other children from the same thing.
My first question would be why are they doing this to me. I could never imagine that happening to me and all I would be able to ask is why me but I would also think some of anything I could do to try and hint people something bad is happening to me if the person would by chance stop anywhere or anything. Yes if he knew everything that happened and admitted to it. No matter what he should not have killed the kid, there is never a reason to murder a child that you kidnapped but then did not know what to do with.
What is wrong with you. Yes he should of been charged with murder for what he did.
I would probably ask the person why they kidnapped me, but I hope I never have to worry about that. I think he should have been charged with murder because he killed a child.
If i was being kidnapped the first question that I would think of is what should I do to get away. I do believe he should be charged for killing the boy.
I wouldn't be able to say anything I would probably be in shock and very scared that I would be speechless. i do believe that he should have been charged with murder because he took another persons life a child in this case. He took another family's son and they have to live with that for the rest of their lives.
If I was being kidnapped I would ask what did I do wrong? Why me? I think he should have been charged with murder as well because his family had to live with it this long and he still committed the crime.
I would ask why? Why me? Because there is how many other people. Why me? I think he should definitely be charged. Just be cause you "panicked" is no excuse to kill anyone. Ever. 20 years is nothing compared to the depression and despair that this family will feel for the rest of their lives.
