ST. LOUIS, Missouri (Reuters) - A Missouri man who killed two women by pushing them off a bridge spanning the Mississippi River was put to death early Wednesday, a Missouri prison official said.

Marlin Gray, 38, died at 12:07 a.m. CDT after workers at the Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center in Bonne Terre, Missouri, injected him with a series of lethal drugs, stopping his heart.

It's for sure he won't do it again ...

I hope he repented before they stuck the needle in him.

I hope he DIDN'T!

Scumbags like that have NO place in Heaven - And if God accepts him, He has greater patience and forgiveness than I do. (Which wouldn't surprise me a bit)

Has Amnesty International heard about this or do they still have their heads up Castro's ass?

I'm very sorry to learn that.

And if God accepts him, He has greater patience and forgiveness than I do.

I'm quite sure that He has greater patience and forgiveness than I do ... but through His Grace, we can become more like Him.

I hope so, too. And that those left behind on all sides find peace from our Heavenly Father.

I think I read about this in Reader's Digest. I'm so glad to see justice done. The poor girls.

dumb question of the night: before the injection, do they wipe the area with alcohol/disinfectant? ?

Shoulda pushed his ass off a bridge or used ole sparky. Lethal injection just doesn't have the same punishment factor.

"do they wipe the area with alcohol/disinfectant?"

Yes. They actually wipe the area and use disposable needles each time.

I hope he repented

From the article:

In his final statement, Gray denied having committed the murders...."I go with the peace of mind of never having taken a human life," Gray said. "This is not a death it is a lynching."

Self-pity and avoidance of responsibility are not the smartest attitudes to have when meeting one's maker.

The victim's cousin wrote a memoir about this called "A Rip in Heaven". What a heartbreaking book. The two young women and a male cousin encountered these losers on a bridge, talked to them in a friendly way for about half an hour...then were raped and tossed off the bridge. The two girls were very bright, talented and idealistic and probably thought they'd made some new friends right before the bastards murdered them.

I remember when this POS and his accomplice encountered their victims on the old Chain of Rocks bridge. They had their "fun" and then forced the two young ladies and their male cousin to jump off the bridge at gunpoint. One of the victims survived the ordeal and instrumental in getting the death penalty for the one that didn't turn on his buddy.

Good riddance to bad garbage. Like one poster said...They shoulda threw this guy off the bridge, I agree. They should have heaved him off while strapped into an electric chair spittin' sparks all the way down.

BTW, does anyone know how the trial turned out in Wichita on the "Night of Living Horror" gang?

You know, I had my very old, sweet, loving dog put to sleep last week. It was a very painless and peaceful process for her. She just slipped away, drifted off to sleep, even snored a little at the end...

Lethal injection is much too humane for the Human Animal. (And I used to be dead-set against The Death Penalty.)
