Why does it take 15-30 years for those sentenced to death to face it?

Appeal. Appeal. Appeal. Then there's multiple issues in each appeal that needs to be waded through. Sure, after 41+ years, you'd think they'd have used up their delay tactics. Inmates can file complaints on their own without lawyers. They have nothing to do all day long so many get their jollies filing complaint after complaint after complaint.

Another reason is limited supplies of the injection drugs. There's an abundant supply of ropes, ammo and electricity but some states only allow injections. There doesn't seem to be a limited supply of drugs to put down animals though.

"The guy was in the drug lifestyle buying selling and likely using.....they do tend to knife each other when deals fall apart..He shot John Dotson and Jimmy Porter and then slit their throats robbing the two men after they came to him to buy marijuana.

Not to mention, after being spotted in Ohio he was apprehended after a shootout with police.

Thank you for that correction.......so sorry your community had to endure that creep....people would be alarmed how many of these deviates are really out there. To say they hide behind otherwise ‘normal’ masks says it well. You’d never identify them as the beasts they are....
