A Florida Panhandle charged with raping and murdering his 10-year-old stepdaughter just minutes after he killed the girl's mother 22 years ago was executed this evening via lethal injection.

FULL TITLE: Florida executes man on death row for 22 years for raping and murdering his 10-year-old stepdaughter and her mother: Ate last meal of fried fish and three desserts

I know this is a serious matter, and thank goodness the scumbag is finally dead, but executing the entire Panhandle seems a bit harsh.

[jospehm20]

That is way too long to wait for justice.

[Steely Tom]

I doubt he was enjoying himself while he waited.

[Slings and Arrows]

No argument.

[jospehm20]

He had it better than he deserved.

[Olog-hai]

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

Ecclesiastes 8:11

Waiting too long for justice causes more injustice.

[Olog-hai]

Oh, prisoners end up liking it better inside than outside.

Never mind the money wasted in keeping him alive for those two-plus decades.

As Ron White once said..."if you come to Texas and kill someone we will kill you back.That's our policy!".

but executing the entire Panhandle seems a bit harsh.

Well,they're just a bunch of rednecks anyway! *And* they're in the Central Time Zone. ;-)

I always liked extra desserts for special events. (sorry)

Glad he got what he deserved. Too bad, it took 22 long years

for the families to see the justice. I hope they can now begin to work through their grief.

WOW! a 22 year execution! Call the Guinness people! Did they like stab shoot or hang him once a day, or what? They should have!

[Olog-hai]

Sounds like they were inspired by the story of Prometheus on the rock.

[Slings and Arrows]

Good policy, that.

[Slings and Arrows]

Time to get out of Massachusetts, dude. ;^)

[Slings and Arrows]

Fried fish and three desserts? That stuff’ll kill ya. ;^)

It’s not justice when it’s delayed this long.

[shibumi]

If it took 22 years, they killed him a lot!

[Politicalkiddo]

They executed him for 22 years? No wonder the system is so clogged up

It may seem like a long time to us but to the defense lawyers it’s the end of an enriching career.
