The petition had nearly 32,000 signatures as of Friday morning.
"When it's an open and shut case such as this, let us hang these creatures publicly" wrote J.R., who started the petition on Wednesday.
"Let us make examples of them, and allow the American people to attend these hangings so that the accused may be ridiculed, as they should be"
Emmaleigh's family say the accused was like a 'Prince Charming' who swept the baby's mum off her feet.
