McALESTER — Proclaiming his innocence and saying he would see his victim in heaven, a man convicted of battering his girlfriend's 8-year-old son and stuffing the dead body in an abandoned freezer was executed Thursday at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary.

Gilson became the second person to be executed this year in Oklahoma.

Gilson was convicted of first-degree murder in 1998. The boy's remains were found in an abandoned freezer outside a mobile home in rural Cleveland County.

An autopsy showed two fractures to the boy's skull, a tooth missing from his right jaw and fractures to his collarbone, shoulder blades, ribs, legs and spine.

‘Proclaiming his innocence and saying he would see his victim in heaven’...

If that is what he said, “see his ‘victim’” it’s pretty telling.

Maybe that wasn’t a good thing to say on the stand after all?

Ah yes, the only kind of abortion I approve of; Retroactive.

Dear Donald and Willie,

Both of you don’t seem too repentant. I can only hope at the last moment you submitted to a “higher power”. If not, I hope your remember to pack the sun tan lotion, sunglasses, and flame-retarded clothes.

Well, according to the Bible he will “see” his victim, standing right there by the throne, having a say in his ‘sentence’.

“‘Proclaiming his innocence and saying he would see his victim in heaven’...”

I don’t think he gets an attorney at the Pearly Gates . . . And there’s no appeal.

In any case, tah tah to these creeps! They were breathing good air.
