Holton told police he killed the children because his ex-wife had denied him from seeing them. He also said he intended to kill his ex-wife and himself, but instead decided to turn himself in.

Well he certainly got even with his ex-wife, he killed all her/his children and then stayed around to enjoy the show. What a warped sick mind, how could anyone do that?

I hope he bought some carbon offset credits to offset the amount of coal used to generate the electricity used.

I wonder why he chose the electric chair over lethal injection?? The state gives them the choice, you would think a needle stab would be a little easier than getting cooked is.

Not that I ever plan on having to make that decision myself you understand....

“....his ex-wife had denied him from seeing them.” This must have been written by a journalism school graduate.

Oh well they could always feed him to the sharks, or cut him up for pig food.

One of the incredibly rare instances where justice is actually served.

It’s my sincere hope he felt every bit of the pain and terror he inflicted on his helpless victims before he was put down.
