Top of the hour...
Wow.
Didn’t hear Hollywood and all the anti-death-penalty hypocrites utter a word to try to prevent that execution.
I can’t imagine what gives.
Well, Obama has bad enough ratings, to come out nad try to influence this would destroy his chances with the police unions.
Fallen Savannah police officer Mark Allen MacPhail was murdered while trying to help a beating victim, the first officer to reach his dying comrade recalled.
“Mark was a hero. That’s all there was to it,” said Sgt. David Owens.
Dalton recalled the younger MacPhail knew his father only 58 days, 13 hours and 19 minutes before his slaying.
“Happy birthday, kiddo,” she said.
“The murdered is not mentioned. No one is standing up for him. NOT ONE. “
They seem to love cop killers and murderers unconditionally for some strange reason and they have no problem killing babies either. All I can think of is they are warped beyond repair.
Why anyone would listen to them is beyond me. Just once it would be nice if they actually knew what they were talking about.
WOW!
August 19, 1989, murder of Savannah, Georgia, police officer Mark MacPhail. MacPhail was working as a security guard at a Burger King when he intervened to defend a man being assaulted in a nearby parking lot. During Davis’ 1991 trial, witnesses testified they had seen Davis shoot MacPhail, and two others testified that Davis confessed to them. Although the murder weapon was not recovered, ballistic evidence presented at trial tied bullets recovered at or near the scene to those at another shooting in which Davis was also charged. Davis was convicted of murder and various lesser charges, including the earlier shooting, and was sentenced to death in August 1991.
obtained his high-school equivalency diploma from Richard Arnold Education Center in 1987. A teacher noted that he attended school regularly but seemed to lack discipline.[6] Davis’s nickname at the time was “Rah,” or “Rough as Hell”
In July 1988, Davis pled guilty to carrying a concealed weapon; he was fined $250 as part of a plea agreement in which a charge of possession of a gun with altered serial numbers was dropped.
his job attendance was poor, and by Christmas in 1988 he stopped coming to work
On the evening of August 18, 1989, Davis briefly attended a pool party hosted by a friend in the Cloverdale neighborhood of Savannah, Georgia. As he left with his friend Darrell Collins, the occupants of a passing car yelled obscenities at them. A bullet was fired into the car and Michael Cooper, a passenger in the other car, was shot in the face, allegedly by Davis. Davis and Collins continued on, and later met Sylvester “Redd” Coles, who was arguing with a homeless man, Larry Young, over a beer near a Burger King restaurant in the nearby Yamacraw neighborhood.
Off-duty policeman Mark MacPhail was working as a security guard there and was shot when he attempted to intervene in the pistol whipping of Mr. Young.
MacPhail, age 27, the son of a U.S. Army colonel, was married with a 2-year old daughter and an infant son. He had joined the Savannah Police Department in 1986 following six years of military service as an army ranger. MacPhail had worked for three years as a regular patrol officer and in the summer of 1989 had applied to train as a mounted policeman.
At about 1:15 am, seeking to help Young who was being attacked in a nearby parking lot, MacPhail was killed. He had been shot twice, once through the heart and once in the face, without drawing his gun.

Davis and three of his family members testified during the sentencing phase. In a final address to the jury, Davis pleaded, “Spare my life. Just give me a second chance. That’s all I ask.” He told jurors he was convicted for “offenses I didn’t commit.” As the death penalty was being requested by the prosecutors, MacPhail’s family members and friends were not allowed to testify
11:08 Davis pronounced dead.
Good news........next !
USSC denies stay
Night-night, termite!!!
It's a kind of sweater, I think.
You must be thinking of an Afghanistan.
SCOTUS ping.
(Anyone on/off, freepmail me.)
As is too common in these cases the guy should have been in prision and not able to commit this crime. Having a firearm with the seriel number obliterated is I believe a Federal Crime punishable by 10 years in Federal prision. Again the SYSTEM lets another murder occur. All for just 250.00.
No, I was thinking of a Kashmir.
