There is a special place in HELL for the likes of Silas Parks.

May he get there SOON!

> The only "diminished capacity" I could possibly see here is Parks' abysmal
> reservoir of love, empathy, patience and honesty, as well as what appears
> to be, from comments made to me and to others, the diminished capacity of
> those around him to fully understand the depth and significance of the
> horror he unleashed upon his wife and her child.  While both make me sick,
> they are not sicknesses, and in no way mitigate the circumstances under
> which he choked the life out of a human being five months pregnant with
> his own child.

> It seems pretty evident that Parks suffers from a gross and profound
> severity of rage, for which there may or may not be an underlying organic
> or psychological cause.  But until every man so affected starts randomly
> strangling co-workers who annoy him, cops who harass him, buddies who piss
> him off, mothers-in-law who embarrass him, neighbors whose dogs knock over
> garbage, and Rosauer's checkers who mistakenly ring up his rib-eye, I'll
> be reminded that some very angry, very evil men seem more than able to
> control themselves around everyone else -- and then plead that they "lose
> it" around their wives, girlfriends, prostitutes, or other women.
>
> That's a very selective kind of "losing it" that suggests to me that a
> hatred of women, coupled with an understanding that crimes against them
> tend to continue unabated and unchecked for longer than crimes against
> others, is really at the heart of Parks' problems.  And the fact that it
> is a "heart" problem in no way argues against the need to keep him locked
> away for as long as possible.  I hope he gets treatment, I hope he
> realizes some healing, and I intend to pray for his salvation, but I hope
> to God -- literally -- he never is in a position to hurt another woman
> again, ever.

> Reading between the lines, it appears that the defense may try

> Silas Parks, who admitted to killing his pregnant wife and
> setting fire to their Moscow apartment, will be sentenced at 1:30 p.m.
> June
> 30.
> The sentencing hearing has been postponed from its original
> time on Tuesday after Second District Judge Jeff Brudie granted a motion
> from
> Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson to delay the hearing.
> Thompson said he asked for more time to adequately prepare a
> cross-examination of a psychologist hired by Parks' defense. Time was
> needed to
> locate an independent expert to review the psychologist's report and take
> other
> actions deemed necessary, he said.
> "It was unfortunate we didn't receive the report until the
> tail end of the week," he said. "We have no control over those things.
> We're
> reacting to it as quickly as we could."
> Thompson, Brudie and Parks' attorneys and D. Ray Barker and
> Charles Kovis met by conference call to determine the new hearing date.
> Parks, 26, pleaded guilty to two counts of voluntary
> manslaughter in March in relation to the June 24 deaths of his wife, Sarah
> Parks, and their unborn child, Lilly Ann Parks.
> Parks also pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree arson
> for setting fire to their Moscow home the day of the killings.
> Parks will face up to 40 years in prison for the three felony
> counts.
