SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - A judge Wednesday sentenced Timothy Lucie to 50 years to life in prison for raping his 11-year-old daughter, who later hanged herself.

Lucie, 46, was convicted last month of first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy and endangering the welfare of a child.

He was accused of sexually assaulting his 11-year-old daughter, Valerie, in the shower at their Syracuse home Sept. 30. Hours later her 8-year-old brother found her hanging from her bedpost by a dog collar and leash in what police said was an apparent suicide.

A furniture business owner, Lucie confessed to the rape after a six-hour interrogation on Oct. 13. He then recanted as police prepared to put the confession on videotape.

Lucie claimed his confession was coerced by police, who he said threatened to arrest his wife and take away his four younger sons if he didn't admit to the sexual attack.

No offense, but what is the point of posting that? Really bad shit happens all the time in the world. Reading about it isn't enlightening. It doesn't serve a purpose other than to people who have car wreck syndrome and have some sick need to hear about it.

It's not like he's the ONLY person to post news like that in this (Current Events) forum. Just don't read it if it bothers you that much. /shrug

I'm curious about what other evidence the state had besides the confession. That's a pretty crappy article. Whatever journalist wrote it should be fired.

That's not exactly easy with such an ambiguous title. You have to read the article to determine what the post is about.

You know if the title wasn't titled "Sadness", I'd be fucking pissed I even read the article. I just feel sad now.

Better?

It's better but the Sadness part you could leave out of the title to save for your heavy hitting impact statement within the post.

Top three complaints about posts:

1. Title misleading or vague
2. No comments about what was posted with a simple link to an article.
3. No quote from article within the body of the article.

Your best bet to please the Current Affair Nazis is:

Title: 11 Year Old Hangs Self After Being Raped by Father

Body: Quote from article with a link to the source

Comment by you: Sadness

Just put the whole story as the title and no harm done!
