heck another ten or so years and he’d be kicking the bucket all by hisself. when did the trial occur?
So, it only took 33 years? Let’s hope SCOTUS doesn’t delay things any further.
Has Obama tried to save this cop killer from being executed like he did in the Troy Davis case?
Obama tells black reporter he tried to save cop killer Troy Davis from being executed
Snip: Obama’s White House spent “three days” looking at how it could legally get involved in the case on a federal level, one source said. The Obama administration even called the state of Georgia about getting involved and were told “No”.
This guy is 32 years and 6 months overdue. It is inexcusable that it took 33 years to carry out this sentence.
No wonder the Death penalty is not a viable reason not to commit murder.If the death penalty is to serve as a deterrent it has to be carried out soon after it is given.
33 years? Really? The death penalty serves no purpose unless it can be carried out in a reasonable amount of time.
A week after conviction sounds about right.
This argument that the death penalty be painless just fascinates me with its stupidity.
Where is it written that the execution of a prisoner be painless?
The US Constitution forbids “cruel and unusual punishment” not pain.
For hundreds of years hanging was considered the world over a humane method of execution the world over.
Crucifixion, drawing and quartering were considered cruel and unusual at the time of the drafting of the Constitution. Any form of execution that is nearly instantaneous such as hanging or electrocution should satisfy Constitutional standard.
I might also add that as long as the form of execution has a 90%+ success rate the occasional slip where an inmate is accidentally decapitated by the hangman should not rule out that method. Executions are no longer public and condemned is still dead. After all only the warden and a representative of the Governor are required to be present. The sensibilities of spectators should not be a concern.
If a painless death is the desired end then why make it complicated? (That is a rhetorical question. I know why. Lawyers make fees and Lefties tie up the execution in appellate courts). An overdose of heroin or any other opiate should be simple and painless. Why make it a complicated and expensive process?
Thirty three years and how many millions of tax dollars? Such folks should get one appeal to a higher court. When that is denied they should be taken out in the prison yard and hung same day. Better, they should be taken to the gibbet in the courthouse square of the jurisdiction where they committed their crime and hung there after 24 or 48 hours public notice.
Lunacy! He's been on death row 33 years . . . why? Who in the hell was doing the appeals for this POS? 33 is more than twice his age when he was convicted. Could someone please explain to me just how any more than 33 weeks, much less years, would be needed to wrap up this bastard's execution. 33 years?
33 years!?
NEXT!
