I don’t like the idea of the Government putting people to death, but if the inmate was found guilty with due process applied for the convicted - too bad!
P.S. Does anybody know the crimes committed by the condemned?
Killed a cheer leader...sentence to prison, escaped prison and killed at least one more man.
Kenneth Williams, 38, initially was sentenced to life in prison for the 1998 killing of Dominique Hurd, a university cheerleader. He was later convicted of capital murder after he escaped from prison in 1999 and killed Cecil Boren.
He kidnapped some young couple and eventually shot both, killing the girl... the man survived and this guy was convicted. A month after beginning his sentence he escaped and wound up killing someone else. Later he also admitted to a third murder.
He "apologized" before his execution.
I figure maybe a life for a life should apply personally. But I didn’t like the idea of speeding up the executions because the drugs needed to do so were near their expiry date...maybe that caused them to be ineffective. Maybe criminals facing the death penalty should be offered their choice: hanging, firing squad, the chair, or lethal drugs. Put the onus on them.
