LFG! Fauchi next
Trust the Science, bro!
Add him to the "Lethal Injection candidate" club.
How many affected by Autism, and this clown made a living off professionally hiding it?
That is wild, he was charged in 2011.
He is Danish and Denmark does not extradite its citizens.
My question would be: did he travel regularly and not expect this? Was he perhaps fleeing from Denmark?

The arrest seems to have happened all the way back in June 2025 and there was a legal battle before he was brought here.
Hurray, the rope with him.
Okay - Get em!
BUT ...
Don't let that Learing Center crowd get memory holed...
His crimes PALE by comparison.
