Donald E. Beaty - On the evening of May 9, 1984, Christy Ann Fornoff, a 13-year-old news carrier, was collecting from her customers at the Rockpoint Apartments in Tempe. Beaty, who was the apartment custodian, abducted Christy and sexually assaulted and suffocated her in his apartment. Beaty kept the body in his apartment until the morning of May 11, 1984, when he placed it behind the apartment complex's trash dumpster.
Donald Beaty (background) and another man crouch over Tammy Baiter (now Tammy Mershon of Terra Haute, Ind.), who was seriously injured after she was struck by a drunk driver while running across the street in front of Graceland on August 18, 1977, in Memphis, Tenn. to take a picture during a tribute to Elvis Presley two days after Presley died.

I think they should beat him to death with a baseball bat.

I cannot believe the defense attorney's statement "a rush to execute Beaty under these circumstances would be unconscionable."
He raped and murdered a 13 year old girl, 26 years ago, did she receive a stay of execution? He is going to be put to sleep, he won't feel anything, she was raped and tortured. So much for justice in America!

He looks like a slum apartment complex janitor and a child murderer/rapist. It's a shame that people can't be arrested on looks alone.
