[They sure killed Timothy McVey is a big hurry.]


That’s because he waived further appeals. Most prisoners don’t do that. If he hadn’t, I expect his execution date would be coming up around now, since Barr has said the Feds will (eventually) start executing prisoners again. The last Federal prisoner executed was in 2003. And there are 2623 on death row.

[McVeigh dropped his remaining appeals, saying that he would rather die than spend the rest of his life in prison.[76] On January 16, 2001 the Federal Bureau of Prisons set May 16, 2001, as McVeigh’s execution date.[77] McVeigh stated that his only regret was not completely destroying the federal building.[78] Six days prior to his scheduled execution, the FBI turned over thousands of documents of evidence it had previously withheld to McVeigh’s attorneys. As a result, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft announced McVeigh’s execution would be stayed for one month.[76]]

Yes, I recall that was mighty zippy.
