I hope ol’ Sparky gets nice and warm .... I’m sure there’s gotta be a backlog. Line’em up, and dim the lights.

It will be interesting to see if other states, like Connecticut who’s had inmates on death row for several years, will follow suit.

William Earl Lynd is seen in an undated prison photo. The U.S. state of Georgia has scheduled the execution of Lynd, a convicted murderer, on May 6, 2008 or soon afterward, in what will likely be the first use of lethal injection since a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that ended an effective moratorium on capital punishment.

I remember back in the bad old days of the 1960’s when an outgoing governor would commute all death sentences to life in prison. Glad those days are over.

Now if we could bring back the noose.

Lynd has never denied killing Moore, 26, two days before Christmas in 1988. But his lawyers had sought a last minute reprieve from the courts, arguing that new forensic medical evidence showed he could not have kidnapped her because she was already dead when he stuffed her in the trunk of her car.

Oh, that's completely different then. Not guilty, sorry for the inconvenience, have a nice day!

Or: Why I hate lawyers.

Ditto cheers, but I’m using a nice Belgian-styled Dubbel from a local craft brewery rather than a cocktail.

The thing that really makes my blood boil is these fools who stand around outside the prison looking sad, holding candles, and acting like this is some kind of a tragedy.

The tragedy is that this vermin wasn’t exterminated twenty years ago.
