If only Oklahoma had John Fetterman on their parole board. James Coddington would be a free man by now!
Thank you. He bore 2 responsibilities: Before the LAW AND before God.
If he trusted Christ he is forgiven by God and will not bear the punishment for his sin.
He committed a crime and broke the law established in Oklahoma. He paid the price of his crime with his life.
One has very little to do with the other.
This is a serious crime that He can’t simply say “You just killed someone in cold blood. Everything’s cool. You’re forgiven dude”
Would you mind telling us who?
Actually I did mention it in the past. Especially since we all knew the murderer and those murdered.
How the prison at McAlester could forget an execution had everyone shaking their heads.
It’s weird to find you knew a murderer
I had often talked to a security guard at a place I worked who turned out to have murdered Kayleigh Ann Poulton, and stuffed her in the water tower of the place we worked.
No long term conversations, just hello and other nonsense when entering the building- but there was one girl that was a friend of mine that refused to go into that door when he was working there.
He was always observed to be kinda weird.
True. I have never read Ecclesiastes 8:11 before. -— Justice delayed, is justice denied. To the victim’s family in this case.
Pete: The Preacher said it absolved us.
Ulysses Everett McGill: For him, not for the law. I’m surprised at you, Pete, I gave you credit for more brains than Delmar.
Delmar O’Donnell: But they was witnesses that seen us redeemed.
Ulysses Everett McGill: That’s not the issue Delmar. Even if that did put you square with the Lord, the State of Mississippi’s a little more hard-nosed.
God Forgives-I Don’t

Justice would have been him being put to death by lethal hammer blows!!!
Broken on the wheel with hammers.
That jumped off the screen, for me and my editor eyes....
“beating his friend and coworker with a hammer after the friend refused to give him money for drugs.”
Not great but you aren’t confused. Or, are you? (Grin)
No, I’m not confused, about that at least. I know what the headline writer meant; it’s just not what he wrote.
not my job...
Most likely, he did not read his words after typing them.
after probably a million or two of tax-payer money for his legal fees, food, shelter, medical, etc. Pathetic. It would’ve been better to execute him shortly thereafter

Two points: Those taxpayers footing the bill to keep that murderer cozy and healthy included the family members of the victim. Think about that! And secondly, in any truly civilized country where the physical safety of law-abiding citizens is at or very near the top of the list of the government’s responsibility, that murderer would have been tried, convicted, sentenced to death and executed within weeks of his apprehension. But not here, only in a truly civilized country.
What a dirtbag. Guess the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
His dad was crazy too. 3 generations of crazy, and I think the son had a kid.
