Did Newsay report the details of the last day for each of people he murdered? If not, why not?

You don't think they're really going to execute him do you?

he can stop the execution himself at any time - what kind of insanity is that. he will probably run this stunt until tomorrow morning and then call it off.

I know nothing about this case. What do you mean by, "he can stop the execution himself at any time" ?

this execution is only going forward because he wants to die. all he has to do is change his mind, and his appeals process can restart.

Thanks for the info. My sympathy is for his victims and their families, I'm afraid there's not alot left over for him.

I heard today that this guy is the first to be executed in New England in abt 40 years- good luck in getting it right the first time!

I hope someone comes up with a comparison of how Terry Shiavo spent her last day.

"Any veterinarian can do the trick! "

I hear what you are saying, and believe you, but it likely won't be a veterinarian performing the procedure. BTW, will it be a needle?

Just wanted to add that the news break about 10 minutes ago said the execution is going forward in less than 90 minutes.

BTW, didn't he have a restful day, had the chance to choose Oatmeal for dinner, hmm, what did he allow his victims to eat on their FINAL day?

He has a Bible, did he allow his victims the chance to even say a prayer prior to their horrific murders.

Had a chance to mend his ways through confession, I ask again, did he allow his victims this opportunity.


In other words, he get's to die with the things he enjoyed while those he murdered well you get my drift.
