Twenty, TWENTY years this vermin got to live that was denied his victim and his family. That is NOT Justice. That is a poke in the eye.

Two crimes committed. The original one and the crime of taking 20 years to eliminate this filth.

Taylor tried to kill the girl, too, but the gun jammed.

Gee what a guy. And it took them 20 years to stamp out this bug. This has to end, this is BS. How many damn appeals do you get in any other criminal case? Why is a bug like Scott Peterson for example still alive? He killed his wife and unborn baby in 2002 and he got death. 12 years later he is still sucking up taxpayer cash. What does "death penalty" mean in this country anyway? Is it like treason? Where a sitting US President can commit one blatant act of treason after another but nobody charges him because "It's treason but let's make pretend it doesn't exist" ?? Same thing is going on with this death penalty..."He got death but let's make pretend the death penalty doesn't exist"

When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.

Only 20 years after the crime? We’re improving. </sarcasm>

It’s the creepy lawyers running around saying “Oh dear oh dear we have to save this poor man. He didn’t get a fair trial, his previous lawyers were inept ....” etc etc etc

This one has been on TN death row 20 yrs, 2 trials that took another 4 yrs. Please help 8 year old Nikki Read receive the justice both juries and all state and federal appeals courts have now after 20 yrs upheld. And our RINO governor won’t sign the execution order. He’s has no gonads against the anti DP crowd. Lame Duck.

Ashley Nichole ‘Nikki’ Read, age 8, RAPED and KILLED by david keen. 24 yrs ago. He has been on TN Death Row for 20 yrs. ALL State and Federal Appeals are FINISHED. DNA proved he raped her, he confessed he both raped and strangled her to with her own shoe laces. Yet TN Gov Bill Halsam refuses to set an execution date or sign the execution warrant.

615) 741-2001 bill.haslam@tn.gov

Nikki was raped, strangled with her own Shoelaces, wrapped tightly in her blanket and thrown in the river barely still alive, where she finally drown to death. 24 Yrs of waiting for Justice, is obscene.

Tell TN Governor to do his Constitutional Duty, that 2 juries decided and all appeals courts UPHELD was the right course of action. The Death Penalty.

It would be amazing to learn he became a follower of Christ and repented of his sins while in prison.

Even if he did have a genuine conversion to Christianity, he still had to pay for his crime.

Not just the lawyers, you can also lay the blame at the feet of the catholic church. Some may be Pro Life, but to them that also includes VICIOUS KILLERS, not just the innocent UNBORN!

Are you aware that mass murdered charley manson has taken out a marriage license with a 26 yr old stupid visitor and is going to marry her? She already considers herself his wife. SHE NEEDS A SHRINK BAD! And the state of nuts needs to eliminate this perk. He will get conjugal visits if he is a ‘good boy’!

To Catholics all life is sacred ... even human eggs and sperm. So yeah, a heinous murderer has the same right to life as the person they killed.

I've read where some women wanted to marry murderers who're in prison for life ... like that guy down in Peru. Killed (supposedly) that girl in the Bahamas .....some woman married him or wanted to ....

Meanwhile, here in CA, mass murderer was granted a marriage license. Go figure. Who’s next? Scott Peterson? Sirhan Sirhan?

I am a LCMS Lutheran, but know this is untrue. Catholics like LCMS Lutherans know that life begins at conception. Eggs and sperm are just cells. The cell created when sperm and egg meet,in fertilization, is a person, a living human being. Ask an embryologist if you doubt.
