A few years ago, I heard about a murderer whose execution was postponed because he was sick. “Cosas veredes, Sancho.”

It’s cold, the body would keep for a few days.

Just like Apocalypto. But can she make it to the forest?

What has the storm to do with anything? Unless the witnesses could not get there.

Why postpone it?

**********

Good question. I assumed weather but based on the following I suspect something
else. The weather will be nasty in that area but not even below freezing tonight as I
read the local forecast.

snip

the Georgia Department of Corrections announced it had postponed the execution
until Monday “due to weather and associated scheduling issues,” department
spokeswoman Gwendolyn Hogan said in an email.

End snip

Her accomplice is serving life for his part in the murder:

It may well be something else based upon the following:

the Georgia Department of Corrections announced it had postponed the execution
until Monday “due to weather and associated scheduling issues,” department
spokeswoman Gwendolyn Hogan said in an email.

******

Scheduling issues is more likely the reason for delay. What that
entails I have no idea.

This delay will give her time to update her Facebook page.

It’s interesting that Ray Routh committed a double-murder, this woman’s act is heinous and unforgivable. Her husband seemed to be a kind man, I read up on the case. Routh gets life imprisonment and people have told me he will get his just deserts in prison while this woman will be executed.

Execution delayed per snow-storm. Very odd. Her execution was delayed once already, in January.

I went through the list of the 59 women on death row that accompanied the article. 13 were black, with one of those having been released recently after a 27-year wait. Most were white, hispanics came in second, and one was Asian. Nearly all were ugly.

Doesn’t look too racist to me.

If I knew the libs were giving away chicken wings my lily-white self would be out there chanting “Down with honkies!” Between bites, of course.

If that beating with the ugly stick didn’t kill her I don’t see how lethal injection will.

Witnesses and the other personnel, I’m guessing. I understand the reasoning, but it does create a bizarre situation.

Maybe the political types are queasy about the look of the thing for executing a woman. *shrug* I save my sympathy for the victims.
