    He should be imprisoned for life, given hard labor. On the day that he goes to prison, play the video in jail so that everyone can see it, and tell them that it could have easily have been their mother.

    Lock him up until he turns 101 and then give him the same medicine.

    Hammurabi's code is no longer current... Today someone like that would go to jail.

    Do the same to him (but a bit worse), so he knows what it feels like, then he might think twice about doing it again to someone else.

    Really really long jail sentence. At least 10 years. Depends on how bad she was hurt.

    I think that they should do the same to him and then send him straight to prison.
