SCOTUS needs to slap this “judge” down hard.
L
Roberts says there are no Obama judges. Why is it always an Obama judge who issues these lawless commands?
would the blackrobe prefer to take the convicted’s place?
Biden takes a long sigh of relief.
Convicted of as heinous crime against a minor. Hanging is too good for him.
Born in Jamaica, appointed by Obama.
They should have executed this guy twenty years ago. Justice must be swift to be meaningful. He wouldn’t have developed Alzheimer’s yet and there wouldn’t be any Obama judges.
“ The speed with which the government seeks to carry out these executions....”
This guy committed his crime 22 years ago. Convicted in 2003 and sentenced in 2004 meaning he has been on death row 16 years. That is not speed. Taking him out back after sentencing and shooting him in the head would be speed.
There is a certain amount of merit in the Purkey case.
Historically, under the English Common Law, if a person was not considered to have the mental capacity to understand that they were about to be executed, and thus have a final opportunity to “make their peace with their Maker”, they could not legitimately be executed.
The VICTIMS:
16 year old girl who was kidnapped, raped repeatedly, stabbed multiple times to death and was dismembered with a chainsaw, burned her remains, and scattered the ashes in a septic pond, was unavailable for comment on the execution.
The other victim, an 80 year old woman crippled by polio, who was beaten to death with a claw hammer was also unavailable for comment on the execution.
His lawyer says Purkey is remorseful and shouldn’t be executed because he has dementia. Remorseful? The savage killer has dementia! How can he be remorseful?
If he has dementia they can just tell him it is a routine “teeth cleaning”. What’s the difference since he has dementia?
Looks to me like she is at war with SCOTUS...
Judge Tanya...I see the problem immediately...
Michigan’s Judge Theresa Brennan recently did six months in jail for for lying on the stand (in her divorce trial, after committing adultery with a murder trial’s lead cop) and betraying the public’s trust of the judicial system.
Should’ve been years in prison (15 years possible), for all the lives she messed up with her biased, biotchy, b.s judgements while on the bench.
This “judge” should be reprimanded.
No place for this in the courts...any court in America.
Why should it matter if he has dimencia or not? Didnt phase Cuomo when he executed 1000’s of seniors.
In Canada we (unfortunately) allow for assisted suicide... Given this inmates afflictions, wouldn’t he be better of dead? So maybe that alternative should be offered to this foolish Judge for a rethink... Consider it ‘assisted suicide’ and it doesn’t sound so bad when you put him to death.
Kill the bastard!!!
Another passionate decision by another Obama Judge...
Aristotle - The “Law” is reason, free from passion... Even Elle Woods could figure that out.
An Osama Obama appointee...so you’d expect a terrorist in black robes.
