I remember the incident. Basically assasinated the officer while in his patrol car. Justice served About 20 years too late but served none the less. I have more to say but I need to keep it to myself.

EVIL

I just read that on fb, he sounded like a real piece of work

I'm quite certain that about an hour ago, he had wished he had done some praying before he died.

Fur your right,,,,He has been welcomed to Hell tonight

I don't get it. Why does it take 20years to kill someone on death row? Let say a meal is 3.00 over a 20year period that's $65700.00. Now if you figure in everything element I would say the state has spent well over 100,000.00. Why?? I can see on some cases but when there is no doubt why wait so long?

The bad thing is that I have read it cost a heck of a lot more to execute an inmate than it does to keep them in prision for life. Not that I am not in favor of the death penalty.

The ADOC commissioner J. Dunn was the last Commander I had that I respected. I don't understand why he chose the path of corrections. He was worth so much more.

Agreed. Bullet between the eyes. No news story. No burial. No closure. No peace. No martyr.

Hell you say. Some chemicals? What else? legal protection?

For you rush to execute guys what would you say to the hundreds of death row inmates that have been exonerated after serving a decade or more if they had been rushed to death? Oh, sorrry. Didn�t mean to kill you innocent person.

I completely agree with due process. But 20 years????

I wish it didnt take that long but at least another dirt bag bites the dust!!!

What do you say to the officer's family when you want to drag this crap out for decades and cost the people of this state hundreds of thousands of dollars for each individual? You become richer, the people become poorer and this is somehow justice being served? It smells like something being served but it's not justice.

This case was not ambiguous. Where it is clear who committed an act of this sort - drag them out back and make the next ones in line dig a hole. Shoot him in the earhole with a .22 and make the next ones in line bury his sorry ass.

I'll give you that. What about the ones caught red handed or confess with no doubt about their guilt?

If a case is borderline or ambiguous, I can understand waiting, but when it's blatantly obvious who did it, it needs to be taken care of in a reasonable time frame.

I agree with that to a point. In circumstances where there is clear indisputable evidence it should be carried out swiftly.
When there is video plainly showing the person, a ton of eye witnesses, hard evidence, or something like a active shooter that the cops wound while in the act and take in those should be carried out almost immediately after trail unless appealed.
Then with the appeals trail it should be mandatory to be held withen 2 yr of the first trail on cases like that.

On the ones where there is weak circumstantial evidence or no eye witnesses, DNA etc I can agree with doing a longer more thorough process.

But there is no reason people like we have all watched on the crime shows on video clear enough to read the tats on their face and necks who walk in kill a 7 eleven clerk in cold blood for $80 should ever be allowed to live 20 yrs or longer sitting on death row.

I am not claiming this guy is in anyway shape or form innocent. I knew some of the officers family.

The issue becomes who decides what is an open and shut case? Clearly, some are and some are not. However, we have a constitution that gives every person due process and equal protection. Not innocent or people with questionable guilt, everyone. You can not pick and choose the portions of the constitution you like and suppprt and say the others don�t matter. That makes you the same as the liberals who say the 2nd amendment don�t matter.

The .32 either acp or .327 magnum would be a better choice than .22lr. I'm not a real religous person but Job 4:8 They that plow the ground of evil&inequity shall reap what they sow.
