Executions should be televised in a 1-hour program.
Forty minutes should be spent devoted to honoring the life of the victim, in this case the police officer and Army veteran who was murdered.
Then, the evidence against the perp should be reviewed in a completely objective manner, free of the distortions by the social justice lefties. In this case, the large number of eyewitnesses who witnessed Rah kill the police officer and gave statements to the police immediately after the killing.
And finally, the execution.
The only compassion warranted is a couple of hymns sung to the perps before the trap door is sprung, whether they want it or not.
A social worker who went looking for batteries at a Jamaica Plain convenience store the day after Christmas 2009 yesterday described finding the gurgling body of the store clerk behind the counter, as a parolees murder trial got underway in Suffolk Superior Court.
On the first day of testimony in the murder trial of Edward Corliss, Christopher Jepsen told jurors he walked into Tedeschis on Centre Street about 3 p.m. and didnt see anyone, but heard an alarming noise.
It sounded a like a gurgle, Jepsen said. It was a gasp.
Behind the counter, he said, he found 39-year-old Surendra Dangol lying on his back, his eyes open but no pulse, a bullet wound to his torso.
Jepsen dialed 911 from the store phone and began CPR until police arrived, their guns drawn.
Corliss, 65, sat expressionless in Suffolk Superior Court as Tedeschi franchisee Tariq Nehmood testified that Dangol was a hardworking employee of his brothers from Nepal who was gunned down for $746.
At the time of the shooting, Corliss was on parole from prison, where he had a life sentence for killing a Salisbury store clerk in 1971. Corliss was released in 2006.
Corliss is charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm in Dangols death. - marie.szaniszlo@bostonherald.com Poster child for Capital Punishment
Strong words, strong opinions expressed persuasively.
Very well written
Ping me...Dr, your commentary is superb. I want to read much more of what you have written. You have a way of ‘hitting the nail’...Blessings.
Excellent and thought-provoking article.
In South Dakota a man who sexually assaulted and murdered a 9 year old girl nearly 20 years ago is finally running out of appeals for his death sentence. He had two complete trials in different parts of the state to avoid any jury taint. He demanded and got DNA tests resulting in confirmation he was the person who sexually assaulted the girl. He has appealed on any technicality imaginable and cost the state taxpayers an estimated $1.5 million in legal fees. Finally all these appeals will be exhausted and justice will be served and yet their will be some who will lament this POS being put to death and speculate about his "innocence"
Does it strike anyone as odd that elite liberals who look down on decent everyday Americans could cry for a lowlife l murderer like Troy Davis? I think we’re starting to know who they really are...
“Euphoria” ping....
