The Mississippi Supreme Court on Monday set an Oct. 18 execution date for double murderer Bobby Glen Wilcher, who had received a reprieve from the nation's highest court moments before he was to have been put to death in July.
The U.S. Supreme Court last week declined without comment to hear an appeal from Wilcher's attorney.
On Monday, the state Supreme Court wrote: "After due consideration, this court finds that no impediment exists to setting an execution date."
State prison official have said they'd be prepared to carry out the execution on short notice. Wilcher is to be put to death by lethal injection at 6 p.m. Oct. 18.
Wilcher, now 43, was sentenced to death for killing Katie Belle Moore and Velma Odell Noblin in 1982. After meeting them at a Forest bar, Wilcher persuaded the women to drive him home and diverted them down a deserted road.
Their blood-soaked bodies were found sprawled along the muddy banks of the dirt road. Each woman had been stabbed and slashed more than 20 times, according to authorities.
If he's a convicted murderer, shouldn't his middle name be "Wayne"?
Heck, someone's got to ask.
Makes me remember my school trip to Parchman in the 80's. Inmates flashing the girls and all. Good bye, Bobby Glen!
