FULL TITLE: I'm not a monster': Killer tells the woman who saw him rape and murder her mother 22 years ago 'I'm sorry' in sickening plea for forgiveness as he is put to death in America's first double execution in 17 years

Arkansas executed two death row inmates on Monday night in America’s first double execution in 17 years.

The first inmate to be put to death was Jack H. Jones, Jr, 52, who received a lethal injection after delivering a two-minute final statement - during which he told his victim's daughter 'I'm sorry' 22 years after she watched him rape her mother and strangle her to death with the cord of a coffee machine.

'I hope over time you can learn who I really am and I am not a monster,' Jones said to Phillips' daughter, Lacy, who he brutally beat nearly to death when she was an 11-year-old child during the attack.

Hours later, Marcel Williams, 46, was executed for the 1994 rape and killing of 22-year-old Stacy Errickson, whom he kidnapped from a gas station in central Arkansas.

I’d love to know how he came to that conclusion. He’s a dead monster now, there’s that.

After reading the link all I can say is that they deserve their punishment.

One has to wonder what you’d have to do to be a “monster” in his book.

He did apologize, but only God knows if it was sincere. Does not matter what we think because God has the last say on everything.

Yeah, right Pal. “You’re not a monster”. Whatever.
We’ll talk about it later, we’ll dissect all the semantics you want when/if we meet on the other side.
Right now, Vaya Con Dios!

Yes, because I for one would not do so. But that's God's call, not mine.

He had to know the appeals had gone to the US Supreme court and been rejected, and that the Governor was fighting to execute him and he wasn’t getting that last minute phone call.
I cannot begin to fathom what he did, and who knows if he’s truly sorry, or just sorry he’s about to be executed.

But it’s right to apologize and try to give that victim whatever small comfort it can do for her. Its pretty obvious that saying something cruel or indifferent would be wrong.

And a quick glance across the old west shows that almost all the bad guys faced the noose with a fair amount of class. It was considered important to not be seen a coward, and to face the music. More than a few gave lectures about sin, or for others to learn from them. At the very least they were expected to “die game”.
Apologizing might not have meant much, but it was probably the least bad thing he could have done at that moment.

If these subhumans were put to death more often instead of being given decades to clog the courts with idiotic appeals, there would be less mindless slaughter of innocent lives. There must be severe consequences for hideous crimes. Good riddance.

If you read his statement he tells the then 11 yo daughter who was also his victim, there was a reason those things happened and he hopes she learns who he really is. A vile creepy non apology for the rape murder of her mom and he tried to kill her as well.

The victims families should file civil suits against all the judges, prosecutors and defense lawyers involved in these cases for denial of 6th amendment rights.

This is one doubleheader that I would liked to have attended. Two human monsters finally getting the justice the victims’ family deserved.

Wish they used the electric chair. Then, as in the Academy Awards shows, when the speeches go overtime, they start to play the “wrap it up music”. Except the tune played at the prison would be 20,000 volts through the skull.

“...and I just want to say to all the people out there who think I’m a monster that ZZZZZZAAAAPPPPPP!!!!!!”

Unbelievable...how nice of the one guy to “forgive his executioners.” What a champ.

And the other one...leaving a seemingly-dead 11-year-old tied to a chair in a closet, after murdering her mother??? But hey, he has since studied physics and become Buddhist, so....there’s that. Why, he practically could have been a father figure to the girl.

Well, these two gents have slipped the surly ol’ bonds of earth by now. Wonder what they’ve found?

Well, if he really was a Buddhist, I’d guess right about now he is adjusting to life in his new cockroach body.

Two items:
#1.Prisoner Williams is said to have weighed over 400lbs!
#2. Both prisoners took last meals. Jones, the first executed had a very large meal with a full dessert.
My next remarks may not be written for you if you have a sensitive stomach, so you decide if you will keep reading or just stop right here. Either choice is yours and will be respected by me.

Still there? Okay. In my opinion, the last meal should be a very small one, if any meal is offered at all. One would expect a man with an empty stomach to be more likely to quickly succumb to any execution drugs compared to a man with a newly full stomach. N’est ce pas?
Also, as a matter of logic, why would you allow someone to stuff themselves when after the point of death, all this matter may be involuntarily released anyway, as in when someone is hung? One would think the labor unions for prison staff may have raised this issue before.
