Justice delayed and we have not found a way to shorten the time before execution.

This man? He deserves to die for his sins make no mistake about that but no one deserves Hell. Hell was meant for the fallen angels. This man needs to confess his sins before he dies here in one hour and I sure hope he has or does. I don’t want him going to hell, even though I’m not sorry he has to be punished he brought that upon himself.

He committed the crimes in 1984

Not just committed them, he plead guilty.

Lake City is a suburb of Tampa? It's north of Gainesville!

Bon voyage, killer. Enjoy Hell!

May God have mercy on his soul.

Why?

Long's attorneys had argued that lethal injection would be "cruel and unusual" because of Long's diagnosed history of epilepsy, saying he could suffer a seizure.

And those scumbag lawyers don't give a rip about the suffering his victims endured.

"He committed the crimes in 1984"

I was thinking about the Ted Bundy case after watching that recent movie.

Bundy was caught in Florida in Feb 1978. Convicted and sentenced to death a few months later, and was executed January 1989.

Roughly ten years.

Ten years seemed like a pretty long time, but that was *nothing* compared to the DECADES spent on death row by these creeps.

What happened between 1978 and 1984 that made the death penalty so drawn out?

It seems as if Bundy was caught just six years later, he might still be sitting on death row.

What gives?

God has already had mercy 9on his soul.

The guy lived far longer than he had any right to if the American justice system worked the way it should.

In addition, it’s frequently spoken within minutes of the person’s death, which indicates that they are asking for mercy after he’s dead. But that can’t happen and it would be an injustice to extend mercy to someone who has not appealed to Christ before death.

Florida really shouldn’t rush into this.

A keen sense of irony allows me to get your point; however, omitting the /s tag only invites a wall of flame to come your way.
