Fritzl pleads guilty

Possibly there is still some small aspect of humanity within Josef Fritzl, as he has now pleaded guilty to all charges on the third day of his trial.

This at least spares his family any further testimony.

There can be no doubt what the sentence must be. He must be sent to prison for such a long period that there is no possibility he will ever be released before he dies.

And the family no doubt will at some stage be given new identiies and try to build a new life.  I wonder if there will be any place in Austria where they will not be recognised. Maybe they will move to New Zealand!

We often use the word evil too liberally. But with Josef Fritzl, evil almost doesn’t go far enough to describe him.
