Gee I feel so bad for him, after all he has changed his ways. Give him a break huh? How about a nice meal and then shoot him!
I think that in all fairness, this title is a little misleading, and should read, “Criminal Faces Death Penalty, Makes Final Appeal.”
The headline makes the state sound bad. Unless you’re from Texas, then you’re probably cheering... :)
Didn’t he pick the firing squad? Or did I only think I read that on another thread? Anyone?
>>>>>>>>>”He came from a family that exuded criminality and violence, and that is what he was,” Ronnie Lee Gardner’s lawyer, Andrew Parnes, told the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole. “He’s changed, he’s overcome that.” Gardner <<<<<<<<<
If his change brings his victim back to life I would say pardon Him. Otherwise: shoot him.
He needs to Gary Gilmore Up! “Let’s Do It!”
Crap. He murdered to try to escape from facing the consequence of committing, and admitting to, another murder. Just another crap ploy to do the same thing with a lawyer running as screen.
Hey! Firing Squad! Aim right between the eyes!!!
Ok, no problemo. No firing squad for you.
“Here’s your ice floe, have a nice ride”.
buh bayh
He murdered two innocent people on two separate occasions? Shoot the bastard.
VICTIMS.
Excellent, he could do community service saving the polar bears!
Multiple times. Starting at the knees.
Mr. Gardner has been on death row since the Reagan Administration.
Isn’t that long enough to wait for justice to be served?
Utah law allowed Gardner to choose execution by firing squad rather than
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
HBO(?) had a show called “OZ” and one of the characters on death row got a reprieve when given his choice of execution, he chose “STONING”. No one had the gonads to allow it to happen.
There has never been an excuse so weak that an anti-death penalty attorney has failed to try it.
I don’t understand why Death row Inmate have such a long stay anyway? I think I read he’s been there for over a decade...Our judicial system needs serious reform. Appeals are not a lottery for being released, while waiting indefinitely for a far off execution, they’re to be quick and speedy also.
The problem is that poor police work, and corrupt prosecutors often portray innocent (wo)men as guilty, and so we always here the stats of the innocent who are subsequently released.

If his parents were abusive, they deserve public condemnation, but this guy still earned his death sentence. If he’s converted and changed, he’ll be rewarded in the next life.
