Boise, Idaho (AP) - The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has thrown out the death penalty of Joseph Edward Duncan III, saying he should have been given a competency hearing before he was allowed to waive his appeal.

The appellate court handed down the ruling Monday, ordering U.S District Court Judge Edward Lodge to hold a retrospective competency hearing for Duncan.

Duncan was sentenced to die in 2008 for kidnapping, torturing and murdering a 9-year-old Coeur d'Alene boy in 2005. Prosecutors said Duncan snatched Dylan Groene and his 8-year-old sister from their northern Idaho home after killing their older brother, mother and mother's fiance. Duncan kept the children at a remote Montana campsite for weeks before killing Dylan and returning with Dylan's sister to Coeur d'Alene, where he was arrested.

OMGGGGGGGGGG!!! I am livid! I just watched this story on ID and the evil things this monster did are unspeakable! He raped and sodomized both those babys for weeks then he took the boy in to a barn made his sister watch while he tortured, shot and burned her brothers body!! I am sick!! He went into their home after seeing them having a bbq and told the mom to call the kids after he duct taped the boyfriend and the 13 yr old..he then told the mom to call the youngest kids out and no one would get hurt, she called them they came out and he took dylan and shasta out side duct taped their mouths and laid them on the grass while he went back in and killed them!! The 13 yr old wondered dazed around the house bloodied after being hit many times with a hammer and finally died at his mothers feet!! All 3 died of smashed skulls. This bastard said he wanted to make everyone pay for him being called a pedephile. DUH he is!! Before he killed he had already gone to jail for child molestation like 2/3 times. Why doesnt the courts just keep someone in prison forever who does this?? I dont get it. They always get out and then do much worse like this. They can not be rehabilitated. Fry them all!!!

It's too bad judges are appointed for life. It would be nice if the judge was never born.
