I'm afraid I can't muster any sympathy for Roofie. He brought it on himself. More than once.

"Still, I cannot cheer the suffering that this man will now commence to experience. Justice may be served but the victims will remain victimized. I'm not saying he should go unpunished, but rather than glee I feel only sadness for the pain he has caused others and himself. I was never one to enjoy an execution."

I like your tempered view of this situation. I had a similar feeling myself but not quite as kind as yours. I thought, gosh he was actually a rather likable guy. What a sad end to this story.

What I have a real issue with is that he continued on with his game and kept his faithful flock holding on to a worthless dream . . . he knew their stock certificates were worth nothing. It must have given him a real ego boost to play these people the way he did. I do believe he is a sociopath. That diagnosis would explain his actions.

Words of compassion.

I feel the same, he deserves whatever the sentencing will be but, i too get no pleasure from seeing someone throw their lives away so unnecessarily and see no need to gloat and amazingly IMO its mostly the ladies i have trouble with, spitefulness.
