EVANSVILLE, Indiana (AP) -- An inmate serving a life sentence for molesting and murdering a 10-year-old girl named Katie was apparently forcibly tattooed across the forehead by a fellow prisoner with the words "KATIE'S REVENGE," authorities say.

Like NonSense and Lexmark, I can't say I'm sorry for the guy. He just has to walk around with that on his forehead. His Victim lost the rest of her life..

I think whoever did the tattoo should have used a .22 and placed the ink on the tips. I'm sure that would have done the trick once and for all.

I can think of a place it should have been tatooed on but there probably wasn't room on this scumbag.

IF Stockelman will be spending the rest of his days behind bars then it seems a bit pointless. Stockelman may even be (for all I know) twisted in such a way that he'd consider it a boost to his ego.

Question: is there like a minimum offence for which the death penalty would be considered?

That particular State sure seems way out in front for executions.

In the US it would vary by state, AFAIK the death penalty is only imposed in cases where the defendant is convicted of murder. Not sure about other states and exactly what the criteria is but here in Pennsylvania the crime has to have a certain set of circumstances. For example you could not be put to death if you were driving drunk and ran your car into school bus and killed everyone aboard (they would be able to seek the death penalty if they could prove you intended to do that I believe).

Walk into a convenience store and shoot the clerk and the DA can seek the death penalty.
