HARTFORD -- At 2:01 a.m. Wednesday, an executioner chosen by the state of Connecticut is scheduled to send a lethal flow of three drugs into the veins of Michael B. Ross, a sexual sadist who murdered six teenagers and two young women in the 1980s. The drama that precedes executions in the United States usually involves head-to-head combat between supporters and opponents, as appeals make their way through the courts. But here, the death row inmate himself holds the most dramatic card: whether to go through with the execution, as he has said he wants, or to make an 11th-hour request for a stay.

Couldn't get to the story by either link you had. Just letting you know.
I wonder how successful this man will be? Hopefully, the execution gets carried out at the appointed time, anyway, I'm sure the victims' families would welcome it heartily.

I resent the link. Hopefully, it will work.
The taxpayers have been paying for this scum for the last 20 years. He's wasted far too much space on this planet as it is.
I resent the link too. Stupid, arrogant link! Ptooi! Ptooi!
Thanks for fixing the link. What a story!
I hope they go through with the execution.
If you resent it so much, why did you post it?
How can you resent the link? I thought it was still missing!
Re-sent it.
Exactly! Where was it when I needed it? Do you know what it's like, watching all the other kids running home to their links, and me going home to a cold, linkless house? Come back, link! I still love you!
I'm not gonna cry. I'm not gonna cry...
Replaced non-working link with the one you supplied in #4. Thanks.
I say we all die of old age before he does.
Poster-child for the death penalty.
