Here he was recently (too bad, so sad!):
And here is the little girl who never got to grow up. May angels surround her and tell her that some justice on earth for her suffering finally was done:

The state of Oklahoma executed on Thursday a man who admitted to sexually assaulting and killing a 10-year-old girl as part of a sick cannibalistic fantasy, despite his defense team trying to blame the horrific acts on autism and mental health issues.
Kevin Ray Underwood, who turned 45 on the day he was put to death by lethal injection, became the nation’s final legal execution of 2024 for his 2006 crimes against little Jamie Rose Bolin, CBS News reported.
Underwood, who was pronounced dead shortly after 10:00 a.m. local time at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester, confessed to luring Jamie into his home before beating, suffocating, and sexually assaulting her.
“He told investigators that he nearly beheaded the girl in his bathtub before abandoning his plans to eat her,” the outlet reported.
During the trial, the jury “quickly” found Underwood guilty and the judge subsequently sentenced him to death, according to a local ABC affiliate.
According to the convict’s attorneys, he suffered from autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and various other mental health issues.
A petition to stop his execution organized by Death Penalty Action argued that the “state-sanctioned murder of someone like Kevin, a mentally ill individual on the autism spectrum, is irreversible and takes us further away from what we want most: a fair, effective, and rehabilitative justice system.”
Despite the lawyers’ arguments and the petition garnering nearly 6,000 signatures, the members of the clemency board rejected their pleas last week.
“Whatever deviance of the mind led Underwood to abduct, beat, suffocate, sexually abuse and nearly decapitate Jamie cannot be laid at the feet of depression, anxiety or (autism),” prosecutors wrote in their opposition to the killer’s request for clemency, obtained by CBS.

It took 18 years to take out the garbage! Guessing Satan had some big birthday candles waiting for him.
No sedation - a gallon of coffee so he can think about it.
Follow the sub-thread
Only 18 years. In the old west how long did it take?
In 1950s NYC it took as little as three months between pulling the trigger and sitting in the deathhouse.
Well that BRAVE AI tidbit was as illuminating and clear as mud.
I agree! We need court reform. Cases like this shouldn’t take long at all.
Too anyone or any group who opposed this persons execution....if you succeed in stopping the execution you are sentenced to paying for the murderers incarceration bills.

Whichever one is more Painful, less humane
they want a fair, effective and rehabilitative justice system?
save time and money, no need for rehabilitate after doing “fair and effective”
(kill him like he killed Jamie)?
I’d be on the cleanup crew gladly if it was for a guy that admitted to attempting to decapitate and eat a 10 year old
And then I’ll go to the Waffle House afterwards and get an early breakfast since it’ll be after midnight
Look up Gusieppi Gonzarro.
Guy tried to shoot Roosevelt in Miami in the 40s, they lit him up in 20 days.
