Capital punishment sounds like the only reasonable course of action for this stone-cold killer.

A teenager responsible for a crime spree that sent police into a frenzy said he has no regrets in an interview about what led him to kill.
Lavender Howse, 16, murdered one man, and shot a child and a woman within a matter of hours in June, 2005.

"This ain't no place to be, especially for no 16-year-old," he said.

Howse was convicted of shooting a security guard in cold blood, then minutes later shooting a nine year old in the face and another innocent woman walking her dog.

"In a blink of a moment it can happen," he said. "That's how it happened to me, I wasn't even thinking. It just happened."

Now in prison, he won't even have a chance of freedom till he's 81 years old. His home is a prison cell after a life on the streets of East Nashville.

In other words, taxpayers will be supporting him for 65 years – at a minimum. And he feels not a lick of remorse.

For Howse, emotion is rare and remorse is unseen.
"I finally got over it, you gotta let it go, can't keep thinking about it," he said.
Even the nine year old gets little sympathy. He said he'd like to say sorry maybe, but for Howse it was just a mistake.

No remorse, no empathy.

But he claims to have found God – sort of.

Care to guess which religion this unrepentant murderer has picked?

He has found God in prison, and has converted to Islam while in the Metro jail.

Anybody surprised?
