Even before a sentence was handed down in the Lam Luong capital murder trial, Russell Collier had his own idea of what should happen to the man accused of tossing his four young children off the Dauphin Island Bridge.
"You can take him and hang him from the bridge and let the water rise and go out on him and give him a dose of what it's like to drown," says Collier, who watched last year as crews spent two full weeks searching for the four small bodies.
Steve Sprinkle, whose son is the duck hunter who found the first of the bodies, doesn't have much more sympathy.
"If it was up to me I'd put him in a 4x6 cell with those four pictures up on the wall and that's the way he'd stay until his heart quit beating, however long that takes," says Sprinkle.
It took a Mobile County jury just one hour to sentence Luong to death Friday.
