HUNTSVILLE — A man convicted of collecting $200 to kill a teenager to keep him from testifying about a drive-by shooting was executed Wednesday evening.
Donell Jackson expressed love to his family and friends and assured them that he was fine.
"I’m all right. Make sure Mama knows," he told relatives who watched through a nearby window.

Uhhh, no you're not ... and she knows it.
We had a death penalty protest here in Austin over the weekend...right across the river from Chopper Fest. I went to Chopper Fest. :)
Good riddance.
He probably meant "All right with God."
Don`t tell me; another "put to sleep" like a puppy. Yeah, gee whiz, WHAT a punishment! This is BS, I`m so sick of this crap. They want to execute and bring punishment at the same time, do it right for once...Gas chamber, firing squad, hanging, or .0000005 seconds listening to a Hillary Clinton speech, same thing.
I know the Hillary speech method is cruel and unusual punishment, but screw these bastards. There should be at least as much pain as they caused their victims when they die...Yes I know, the Hillary one may be considered extreme torture, but tough!
"In a statement to police, Jackson admitted accepting payment from his best friend but at his trial denied receiving any money.
He told the Houston Chronicle he knew it was wrong to kill Stubblefield, "But in my warped little world I was looking at it like it’s either my friend or some guy I don’t know."
The case remained open for some two years before police got a break while investigating the original drive-by shooting.
Evidence at his trial showed Jackson was found to be delinquent as a juvenile for being indecent with a child and also had shot another high school student in the face."

Coming to a neighborhood near YOU! if we continue to allow judges and probation systems to let these animals walk...even out of juvie....
I agree, a nice slow PUBLIC hanging would be A good start.
And let one of the victims relatives pull the release on the trap door.
It's the ONLY thing I agree with the muslims on.... punishment should be severe, painfull and public.
You know who the thieves are there anyway..... the guys with only one hand!
Or SATAN!
Taking out the trash bump.
I've had a lot going on and it just totally slipped my mind.
"I know the Hillary speech method is cruel and unusual punishment, but screw these bastards. There should be at least as much pain as they caused their victims when they die...Yes I know, the Hillary one may be considered extreme torture, but tough"!
Guillotine. Maximum deterrent consistent with the Eighth Amendment. With the Hildebeest's picture on the bottom of the bucket.
Okay, that makes sense.
Hope the $200 was worth it buddy............
Tsk, tsk! You forgot?? You know he was just dying to become the latest Inductee into the Greater Huntsville Flatliners' Club.:-) I hope Tookem and Angel don't fight too much over him tonight...:-)
There is another one a week from today. I won't forget that one. :-)
I was just reading about that one. Carjacking in Houston. Dangerous place, that Houston town....
There is one coming up in January and if the guy is executed, he will have been on death row for 31 years.
