RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A man whose death sentence for impulsively killing a woman during a 1992 robbery was opposed even by some capital punishment supporters was executed by injection early Friday. Frank Chandler, 32, was put to death at Central Prison for killing 90-year-old Doris Poore, who surprised him when he broke into her house on a misguided search for drugs. He lay on a gurney, raising his head several times to look at the gathered witnesses, then reclined and closed his eyes. When the injection was administered, he gave two sharp breaths, then stopped breathing.

In a truly just world, he'd die more painfully.
Same age as Scott Peterson...
What a putz. He killed her while committing a burglary in search for drugs. Period. Good enough for the chair in my book.
What's the question?
Absolutely!
Yea, this guy is real death penalty supporter!
The murderer killed a 90 year old woman!
The poor criminal was 'startled' and 'swung his hand'.
Actually the woman killed herself by placing herself in the way of the criminals hand.
Like he wouldn't have helped himself to some money had it been there.... Money= drugs.
Wow! It only took 12 years to execute this guy. That's gotta be a record.

If it's a breaking news topic, check breaking news first, it's probably already posted.
To avoid duplicate posts, please search before posting. The best method to search is to pick a key word or two from the title. If the article you are posting is, "Funny Video, This Land", start with 'Land' for the key word. If it is a hot topic, you might want to use two or more keywords, in this case, try 'Jib'. For an effective search, select 'match any words' and select 'order by post time'.
WTF!?! What the Hell should it matter whether or not he killed for money? Is the money supposed to be more important than her life?
Here in CA, the 600 or so on death row are dying of old age. Thank you DEMOCRAT Attorney General Bill Lockyer.
Justice Orr needs a good kick in the ass.
I know. Like I said - What a putz. However, apparently some jurisdictions say that in order for it to be a "capital" crime, and get teh death penalty, there has to be "financial gain" (which this idiot basically says only means Money...)
Yeah, no kidding.
So does AG Lockyer.
I love when the reporter dramatizes the death of the inmate..."he raised his head from teh gurney, closed his eyes..."...
I'm so touched.
Yeah, kind of like the "sad" ending to Bonnie and Clyde.
N.C. Is off to a slow 2004. Third execution this year? Texas is just hit 20 with two this month. Red states do rule!
