MICHAEL ERIC BALLARD GETS DEATH FOR PA. MASSACRE

MONSTER Michael Eric Ballard will get the needle for butchering four people in Northampton County, Pennsylvania last summer. So just, who is Prince Charming, now destined for the death chamber? Let us tell you.

In a fit of blood lust, Ballard stabbed to death his former girlfriend Denise Merhi, 39; her dad, Dennis Marsh, 62; her grandpa, Alvin Marsh Jr., 87; and Steven Zernhelt, 53, a neighbor who heard screams  and tried to help last June 26. DA John Morganelli wasn't sparing
describing the carnage: "slaughter," a "rampage" and a "massacre." The prosecution said if Ballard wasn't a primo candidate for the needle, then no one was. Ballard pleaded guilty last month. Oh, and when he committed them he had just been paroled on a 15-30 jolt for slitting the throat of an Allentown man in 1991 during a deadly botched heist. The jury gave Ballard the death penalty in a lickety split two hours. The defence had sought a life sentence because of the killer's "rough childhood" and "brain damage."
Merhi's mother Geraldine Dorwart said: "It's definitely justice. There couldn't have been any other verdict. This man took our lives away. He got death."
