FULL TITLE: Killer who raped and murdered ex-girlfriend's 11-year-old daughter is executed after last meal of chop steak, cherry ice cream and Dr Pepper
A man who raped and killed an 11-year-old girl was executed today with the victim's grandmother watching from the witness chamber on behalf of her deceased mother.
Eddie Wayne Davis, 45, declined to say any last words before receiving a three-drug injection at 6:30pm at Florida State Prison. He was convicted in 1995 on a charge of first-degree murder in the death of Kimberly Waters, whose mother briefly dated Davis.
For his last meal, Davis ate chop steak with onions and gravy, home fries, Brussels sprouts, corn, cherry ice cream and Dr Pepper.
After receiving the initial injection, Davis began muttering to himself though those in the viewing area couldn't hear what he said since the intercom speakers were turned off.
His chest then heaved up and down for about five minutes before he became motionless. He did not appear to be in any signs of pain and was pronounced dead at 6:43pm.
Davis' mother and a spiritual adviser were the last to visit him today.
It was the sixth execution in Florida this year and the second in the state since the death penalty came under fresh scrutiny in April.
In late April, Oklahoma prison officials halted the execution of inmate Clayton Lockett after noting that the lethal injection drugs weren't being administered into his vein properly.
The procedure was stopped but he died of a heart attack several minutes later.

So after being convicted of this heinous crime we kept this piece of crap alive for 15 years and made the family wait that long to see justice served? That is disgusting!

Giuseppe Zangara (September 7, 1900 – March 20, 1933) was the assassin of Chicago mayor Anton Cermak, though United States President–elect Franklin D. Roosevelt may have been his intended target.[1] Roosevelt escaped injury, but five people were shot including Cermak.

Crime on February 15th, execution on March 20th. No-one denied him his right to a speedy trial.
Wow! I feel great....
Leon Czolgosz:
Sept. 6, 1901: shot President McKinley
Sept. 14, 1901: President McKinley dies of his wounds
Sept. 23, 1901: Czolgosz trial begins; he is found guilty 8 hours, 23 minutes later.
Oct. 29, 1901: Czolgosz executed by electrocution
Justice administered speedily, and without delay.
Better than CA. Here a “death sentence” means you will die of old age on “death row”.
20 years late but still good news.
Try to find a "jury of Giuseppe's peers" in Miami today!

IMO the founders messed up a little with the cruel and unusual punishment clause. I for one would be in favor of amending that.
For the worst crimes of all a painful and ugly death is the only fair and just one.
ALSO the mandatory appeal, and cruel and unusual appeal stuff is crap. You should only get procudural appeals for errors made in the trial.

In Illinois we had a corrupt liberal who called himself a republican, George Ryan (who just got released from prison incidentally) and while in office, this turd commuted 160 death sentences to life and put a moratorium on the death penalty.
