Comment: Tell him he will suffer the same fate as Jamie before he is executed. from Shawnee/Oklahoma by Elsie

Comment: Absolutely...and it should be given priority. This man (and I use that term lightly) doesn't deserve to live! He didn't give Jamie Rose the opportunity to smell the flowers, feel the sunshine on her face, be loved, breathe air -so why should he still have that opportunity? He shouldn't. The sooner the better! from OKC by Jennifer

Comment: ABSOLUTELY...HE SHOWED NO MERCY ON THAT LITTLE GIRL EVEN WHEN SHE KEPT SCREAMING OVER AND OVER. EVEN IF HE IS DECLARED INSANE, THEY SHOULD SENTENCE HIM TO DEATH. from MOORE/OKLAHOMA by AMY

Comment: LET HIM LIVE THE REST OF LIFE IN PRISON WITH HIS MEMORIES AND WORRY ABOUT THE OTHER PRISONERS.THAT WOULD BE MORE PUNISHMENT THAN DIE A VERY QUICK PAINLESS DEATH WITH A NEEDLE. I PRAY THAT HE MAKES PEACE WITH GOD. from NORMAN by BEN

Comment: anyone that does this should be torcherd for a very long time as they die they learn nothing from a quick death; like leathal injection or electricution. from Yale by santos

Comment: What Kevin did was wrong. He is a devil for doing what he did. I do not follow up on the news. But after hearing about this I had to watch and see. from EDMOND by DJ

Comment: He needs to live with it for a long time. Let him grow old and think about what he has done. It is to easy for him to die. It will hurt him more if he has to live with what awful thing he has done.He should be in a harsh enviroment.He should have no privelages, no tv ,no commisary.Just let him sit in a cell with nothing ever! from Okc by Leslie

Comment: His crime was so inhumane and should die for it. Why show him mercy when he had none for Jamie. from OK by Nikita

Comment: I think Kevin Underwood should die, but not but lithal injection, however. He should die a more painful death, such as PUBLIC HANGING, by electric chair, or by been burned at the stake,or a way that is the most painful to way to put a human being to death!!! I think that society has been to lienot to monsters like this in the past, and the lithal injection is like putting a dog that you don't want to sleep. Climinals like him, need to have a more brutal punishment than just to go to sleep like a "family pet"!!! from Chickasha, OK by Barbara & Randell

Comment: too dangerous to take a chance he will ever get out of jail.he will do it again if he gets a chance. hes a phycopath he will never be cured. from bethany,ok by bill

Comment: i dont think he should die because i think he should rot in prison and suffer just like that innocent little girl let the people in prison that hate that kind of people take care of him that is my opion and thank you from Maysville OK by Hilari

Comment: Sometimes the death penality is too good for a crime. Maybe they should give him life and let the other prisoners deal with him

Comment: I feel there is no rehabilitation for child molesters and child killers. Best thing to do is kill this man. from OKC by Hogg

Comment: If you have the gull to plot something like that you will probly do it again. If you kill someone you sould be killed no question and no waiting in prisons over populating them just take care of sentincing right then and there after the fact of bing proven guilty of corse from bethany by mike

Comment: I understand you have to be pretty sick in the mind to do something of this nature so let him & his sick mind be laid to rest. I really feel bad for both family's. We don't need this to ever happen again from oklahoma city, ok by cindy

Comment: I believe he should suffer just as much as he has made her and her family suffer may God forgive us all from okc ok by lois

Comment: I believe he should suffer just as much as he has made her and her family suffer may God forgive us all from okc ok by lois

Comment: Someone acts up on a gross and horrid crime that they having been planning for along time and on a child. Does not a have a place in our society. Anyone who does this type of crime specially to a child should be put to death. from Bethany, Ok by John

Comment: Jamie begged for her life and cried out "I'm sorry" Why should we spare his? from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma by Vickie

Comment: he does not deserve to live . Jamie did not get that chance.but then again if he lives he has to live with it everyday.only if he really does have any remorse.but i dought that. from okc by stephanie

Comment: He should be given 1 year in prison...in general population...bet he doesnt make it to dinner that night from Oklahoma City, Ok. by Gary

Comment: Not only should he die for his crime, I think he should die a slow painful death, and be scared to the point where he too wets himself, just as Jamie Bolin did. I do not want my tax dollars paying for him to live more than one day while sitting on death row. Thank God he killed her and did'nt get to act out his fantasies the way he had planned, because don't forget, he wanted to torture her and rape her. The only thing I think he is sorry for is getting caught. from Blanchard by Jason

Comment: Whether he's 'sick' or demented makes no difference. He was capable of doing this and he did. Period. We are better off without his kind existing. Let my tax dollars be spent on something else other than maintaining the life of someone who doesn't deserve it. from Bethany by JoAnn

Comment: Kevin Underwood executed a perfect example of capital murder. Moreover, it was an act of terrorism. Therefore, he deserves to die by lethal injection immediately. from Woodward, OK by Andy

Comment: i think he should have to sit in prison and live with whatever people throw at him. by giving him the death penalty he is just getting out of punishment. plus if we kill him it just makes us murderers also. from okc, ok by c

Comment: jaime did not deserve to die that way!she was an innocent little girl. from okc,ok by mariela

Comment: ALL THE CLEAR CUT EVADENCE IS THERE FOR A FULL CONVICTION AND WITH THE SEVERITY OF THE CRIME PUNISHMENT=DEATH. from EDMOND by J.J.

Comment: Anyone who is cappable of doing the things that he did to that poor girl does not have a place in any society and should be put to death without delay. from Piedmont, Ok by Jim

Comment: He will just get out and do it again. What is the purpose of keeping him in prison and caring for him the rest of his life after such a violent crime??

Comment: There are no words for what he did to that little girl! Yes, I think that he deserves to die, that way maybe the family can get some actual peace. from Oklahoma City by Debbie

Comment: I do not believe in capital punishiment for any reason. from Yukon, OK by Gale

Comment: he should die a slow death from newalla by thomas

Comment: He planned on killing and eating someone. He killed a little girl to complete his dream.In addition to killing her he went beyond evil in all things he did to her before and after death. Even his comment about when she said "I'm sorry" shows the mindset of a very twisted person. No one will be safe if creeps like him are allowed to live. from Edmond, OK by Linda

Comment: If America would start using the death penelty more, And really use it, insted of housing our serial rapists, and pedophiles, and hard core criminals alot of it would stop, and also save the usa alot of money. Anyone who takes a life, or sexually abuses deserves nothing but death. I have no sympothy for any of them. It makes me angry my tax dollars goes to house, feed, clothe, and help pay for their legal fees. I am hardcore on this. I had a friend who was murdered and she was in the 2nd grade. I was in the first. The criminals get all the rights, and the victoms get death. I don't want to hear how sick this man was . thats has been established. I want to know that he will get the death penelty just as he gave it to that poor defensless child. I want to know that he will never harm anyone else. from oklahoma by cindy

Comment: I think they should just let him go. Have free doughnuts at krispy cream for all police officers. Tell the family when he is to be released and let them take care of what needs to be done. It would save the tax payer thousands of dollars that does not need to be wasted on this piece of garbage. by Rusty

Comment: I think he should be punished for what he done with NO Mercy or poor pity sob story or any boo whoo's ... why should we have to pay for him our hard earned tax money...DEATH is the way it needs to be...

Comment: I'm tired of all the gory details All I want to hear is "Kevin Underwood was executed at 12:01 AM" today.

Comment: This is the worse thing I think I heard. I read the blog and I just can't belive people are like that out there. It was sick. We should let him go prison and let the other prisoners take care of him. If we let the prisoner get him he would die before he death penenlty. And That is what we should do. He should never even get the chance to go to court. Jami didn't didn't get a chance. So why should he. from Okla by Dee

Comment: Anyone who chops up an innocent child with the intent to rape and feast then keep the remains in a bucket has no place on this earth. from Edmond by J

Comment: He should die for his crime. Because that girl did not deseve to die. It was not her time she never got to go to prom or have a family of her own. from Norman, OK by Kristin

Comment: I don't believe Underwood even belongs to the human race. Anyone capable of doing what he did, or planned to do, should not be allowed to live. Murder of a child, rape of her headless corpse, and cannibalism are deserving of the death penalty. His dad's tears for this monster are useless. His tears should have been shed over the young girl who died due to his son's evil actions. from Woodward, OK by Dawn

Comment: Kevin Underwood committed a horrible crime. He very possibly is mentally ill and it is supposed to be unconstitutional to execute the mentally ill. Beyond that executing him-homicide for punishment-only creates more victims. Execution is cruel and unusual-no homicide is more calculated and more premeditated than execution. Kevin Underwood should not die. from Lexington, Oklahoma by Jamie

Comment: I think this was a heinous crime against Jamie Bolen. Anyone who does something like he did should get the needle from Elk City Ok by Kim

Comment: Yes. He should die. from Luther, OK by Brian

Comment: The motivation for his crime was curiosity about cannibalism. This leads me to believe that he would kill again. from Bradley, OK by Vera

Comment: I think the punishment should fit the crime. Who cares about cruel and unusual punishment; the victims never have that liberty, why should the offenders? from Tuttle, OK by Carrie

Comment: I think that death sentances for crimes like these are a quick fix, Meanning that a lifetime of that memory is far more punishment than a quick death, Let them live in a 6x8 room for lifetime.Thats real punishment.Then let the higher power figure out the rest. from Shawnee by George

Comment: I believe that he should have to accept the terms for what he did. The girl never asked to be killed. from Wetumka, OK by Lindsey

Comment: I THINK THAT HE SHOULD SUFFER IN PRISON AND FEEL WHAT IT IS LIKE...THEN HE SHOULD GET THE DEATH PENALTY. BC HE ALREADY KNEW THAT HE WOULD GET PUNISHED AND GET THE DEATH PENALTY..I THINK HE SHOULD GO TO PRISON AND LET PEOPLE PICK ON HIM AND JUST MAKE HIM SUFFER THEN KILL HIM..AND NO HE DOES NOT DESERVE TO HAVE ANYTHING AND HE SHOULD BE DEAD BUT THATS TOO EASY.. from OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA by KRISTIN
