FORT WORTH—A Hurst man was sentenced Wednesday to 30 years in prison for killing his mother—in a case investigators said involved cannibalism.

“Joey” Cala II pleaded guilty to murder on Monday.

Police found the bloody man and the body of 79-year-old Lydia Cala on Oct. 15, 2001.

Joey Cala had moved into her home in late 2000 after he was paroled for his third drunken driving conviction.

A coroner found that the elderly woman was beaten to death. Autopsy results also indicated that her body was mutilated. The murder indictment says the victim also was stabbed.

There are a few more details in this article.  It includes this tidbit:

Police found him covered in blood and apparently eating an organ.

If anyone deserves the death penalty, it’s this piece of excrement.  What kind of pathetic sick bastard would do something like this?

And people wonder about my misanthropic tendencies.
