McVeigh waived his remaining appeals.
I agree.
More is better.
I don’t give a flying f#ck about his counsel; as soon as he copped his plea he should have been taken to the Town square and PUBLICLY IMPALED!
Carefully impaled so as to inflict as much agony for as many days possible.
Same for any murderer or rapist upon conviction; 1 month to appeal, only 1 appeal, then if the conviction is upheld, ——PUBLIC IMPALEMENT——.
Bet a lot of the crap we read and hear about murders would significantly slow down.
Good.
Too bad it took so long.
My preferred alternative for rapists and murders is IMPALEMENT!
Makes for a graphic lesson for any others contemplating those crimes.
He is now.
MERCY for rapists or murderers is the most ignorant thing I have ever heard of.
Sterilization only keeps one from reproducing, not from committing the act.
More that sterilization is needed.

Pamela Butler’s mother to witness the execution of her daughter’s killer after 21 years

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Cherri West said she relives the moment her daughter was taken every day of her life. Now, after 21 years, she will witness the killer’s execution.
Ten-year-old Pamela Butler was rollerblading in front of her Kansas City, Kansas home in 1999. Keith Dwayne Nelson then drove up to the home and abducted her. He later raped her before strangling her to death with a wire.
Nelson was arrested on the banks of the Kansas River two days after Butler’s disappearance. He pleaded guilty in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri in 2001 and was sentenced to death. He has been sitting on death row ever since, exhausting all possible appeals.
Then earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Justice set execution dates for four criminals on death row, including Nelson. The Supreme Court refused to block the executions, which were the first since 2003.
“Making sure Pamela gets her justice. That was my number one focus,” Cherri West told FOX4 at the airport before she left for Terre Haute on Aug. 27.
As West was on her flight, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan halted the execution because she said the government needed to get a prescription for the lethal injection drug. A three-judge panel in the court of appeals issued a response hours later, stating there was no evidence any harm would happen because of the lack of prescription. The higher court, therefore, allowed the execution to go forward.
“My life was robbed the day she got taken, and my heart was ripped out, and it can never be put back,” West said. “I’m her voice, so I have to stand here and fight for her because there’s no one else that can do it.”
Cute little girl.
I have two daughters and cannot fathom what she or her parents went through.
I know that we are to forgive our enemies but I would really struggle with that one.
I’m glad her mom got to watch that.
You both bring up good points.
She also mentioned not releasing them back into the public. Of course, that is not possible given civil liberty issues.
I’m surprised she has last as long as she has in CPS. I have not talked with her in several years, but know a couple of people who said she is still in that unit. It has to be difficult.
He chose not to file any appeals. We had a couple of murders here in Washington state that did the same. All we’re executed in less than 5 or 6 years
