ID - John Tuggle for rape, attempted murder of 12yo daughter, Shoshone County, 2005

[mysteriew]

As part of the plea deal, Peacock agreed not to seek the death penalty, the potential maximum sentence for first-degree kidnapping.

Death penalty convictions can also lead to a string of appeals and costly trials, Peacock said.

He also said trial testimony could potentially be traumatic for the girl.

Earlier, Tuggle waived his preliminary hearing, saving his daughter from having to tell her story in front of court onlookers and her father. It also saved her from having the defense question her credibility, he said.

Since his arrest, Tuggle has been kept in solitary confinement at the Shoshone County Jail.

Sheriff Chuck Reynalds said Wednesday's arraignment was conducted in a courtroom inside the jail instead of across the street in the county courthouse for "safety and security reasons."

Gibler said he will announce Tuggle's sentencing at 9 a.m. on Nov. 7.

Scratch that! Adding, as Taylor Behl's mother said about Taylor's murderer, may he be loved to death in prison".

SHOSHONE CO., Idaho - Self-admitted rapist John Tuggle was sentenced to life in prison without parole Monday for raping and stabbing his 12-year old daughter. District Judge Fred Gibler remanded Tuggle to custody of the Idaho Department of Corrections after the hearing in Shoshone County. Tuggle was ordered to serve two life terms consecutively: one term for rape, and one term for kidnapping.
The victim's mother and brother were present at Monday's sentencing. During a statement to the judge, the girl's mother called Tuggle "a monster" and said her family will "continue to their lives as if Tuggle never exisited."

Heard on the 5 o'clock news that this young girl faced her father attacker in court and said something like she will get over this and never think of him again. That was on KXLY but the story isn't posted as yet. Sounds like one brave kid!

As a side note, I'm pretty sure Judge Gibler is the judge that is presiding over the Joseph Duncan case, for the murders of Brenda and Slade Groene, and Mark McKenzie.

This is a must read for anyone who has followed this case. I've only posted a couple snippets ... much more at link.

WALLACE -- First District Judge Fred Gibler handed John Rollins Tuggle two sentences of life without parole.

"You demand a life sentence and incarceration until your death," Gibler said. "You can never be considered safe to be returned to society."

Tuggle's victim, his 12-year-old daughter, was present in the courtroom along with her mother, brother and other family members. Tuggle's parental rights were terminated in a hearing in magistrate court in September.

After the attack, the heartless SOB then smoked two cigarettes while watching his daughter bleed, then he left the area!

Tuggle's public defender, Erik Smith, had the audacity to argue that Tuggle should eventually be allowed a possibility of parole! :furious:

Oh, that was awful to read. No words to describe a monster like this.

Thanks for the article Liz. I guess that explains why the mother let her daughter be alone with the perp.
