[Morgana]

I have two things to say.

May God have mercy on his soul

and

Don't do drugs M'Kay drugs are bad M'Kay

[jmacusa]

This moron contradicts himself in one sentence. He didn't kill those people he killed because he was high on drugs.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Too bad we can’t do the same for the traitors currently occupying our government. Arming our enemies, financing our enemies, assisting foreign military, terrorists, gang members to invade the country, creating a collusion hoax for an attempted coup, siding against our allies, fixing an election, and worst of all most likely getting a foreign country to release a deadly virus for political advantage, but oh let’s not investigate that like the Russia collusion hoax was “investigated” because such an idea is sooo ludicrous isn’t it, especially from a party that assists an invasion.

[Robert DeLong]

Yet he wasn’t too high to forget the mission he had set for himself to carry out in the first place.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You are allowed to be blitzed out of your mind but that does not remove your responsibility for your actions as long as you were the one who voluntarily took the intoxicants.

[Jane Long]

I guess someone tied him down, at the time, and made him take the drugs that made him high?

[Mark]

Michael, forget about it.

[moovova]

Five will get you ten, he doesn’t remember being executed either.

[metmom]

'I didn't commit these crimes. I didn't kill these people,' Smith said. 'I was high on drugs. I don't even remember getting arrested.'

Irrelevant.

You did it.

Guilt is based on actions, not intent or memory.

>> seven-year hiatus that came in response to a series of bungled executions. <<

What is a bungled execution when its purpose is successfully accomplished?

[rlmorel]

Twenty years ago.

THAT is why there is validity to the opinion that the death sentence is not a deterrent.

[I want the USA back]

The individual is responsible for all his actions from the moment when he takes the first pill/jab/snort or whatever.

To avoid being executed for a murder while under drugs, don’t take the danm drugs!

Michael Dewayne Smith

When will mommas ever learn to NEVER give their baby boys any form of the name Dwayne/Wayne?

[Hot Tabasco]

All things considered, I would rather receive the death penalty and immediate termination instead of a life in prison. But that’s just me......

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***to a series of bungled executions. ***

I remember one in Oklahoma. A young man murdered his x-girlfriend and her new guy. Definitely cold blood. Sentenced to death in Oklahoma they set the date, then about 30 days after that date they realized they forgot to do it. So they changed it to life in prison.

[gitmo]

The classic Hunter Defense.

Similar to the Brandon Defense where you were too senile to be held accountable.

[ETCM]

IMO, neither intoxication nor insanity are legitimate defenses for crime. You can be intoxicated/insane AND guilty. This murderer received a just punishment for his heinous crime. He should have been executed 20 years ago.

[2nd Amendment]

I always liked the old method of execution-The electric chair. I often offered to turn my lights off to boost power!

[The Louiswu]

I pray he got right with Jesus because the agony of spending eternity without the Love of God is a truly terrifying thought.

[Uncle Miltie]

Good riddance.

And a warning to others.

[kawhill]

I would think that he died a less painful death than the two human beings he shot and killed.
