Outstanding! I hope this opens the doors of New England to further execution of killers. Anyone know the last execution in NE prior to Ross?

"Edwin Shelley, whose 14-year-old daughter Leslie was Ross' seventh victim, said he planned to watch Ross die.

"It's going to be nice to come home and realize that the case is finished and that he has received his just rewards," Shelley said. "I think I will be very relaxed and at ease with myself."

I can't even imagine the pain that man has gone through.

Does this mean that Connecticut may be turning into a red state?

Here's hoping! Cheers!

(From a previous story)

"The last execution in New England was in 1960, when Joseph "Mad Dog" Taborsky went to the electric chair in Connecticut. Of the six New England states, only Connecticut and New Hampshire have the death penalty. New Hampshire has no one on death row and has not executed anyone since 1939."
