A former U.S. soldier who said an obsession with witchcraft led him to slay a Georgia nurse in a bid to lift a spell he believed she put on him is the first of two more inmates the federal government is preparing to put to death this week.
William Emmett LeCroy, 50, on Tuesday would be the sixth federal inmate executed by lethal injection this year at the U.S. prison in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Another is scheduled on Thursday for Christopher Vialva, who would be the first African-American on federal death row to be executed this year. LeCroy is white, as were four of the five inmates executed earlier. The fifth was a Navajo.
Critics say President Donald Trump's resumption of federal executions this year after a 17-year hiatus is a cynical bid to help him claim the mantel of law-and-order candidate leading up to Election Day. Supporters say Trump is bringing long-overdue justice to victims and their families.
Lawyers asked Trump in a recent petition to commute LeCroy's sentence to life in prison, citing, among other things, that LeCroy's brother, Georgia State Trooper Chad LeCroy, was killed during a routine traffic stop in 2010, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
'The pain and sorrow felt by the LeCroy family at potentially losing two of their sons is unimaginable,' the petition said.
LeCroy broke into the Cherrylog, Georgia, mountain home of 30-year-old Joann Lee Tiesler on October 7, 2001, and waited for her to return from a shopping trip. When she walked through the door, LeCroy struck her with a shotgun, bound and raped her. He then slashed her throat and repeatedly stabbed her in the back.

This is a good way to prevent Covid deaths in prison.
Crank it up for these monsters. A death sentence should mean death.

Is killing witches a fedral crime?
But first make him tell what he did with Shannon Timmerman, Robert Allen and John Weeks.
FAKE HEADLINE.
Doesn't sound like he was ever a soldier?
Animals need to be put down, why are we not doing this more frequently
If he went AWOL before graduating from initial training, he is not a former soldier. He never was.
I guess if raping virgins cures AIDS, raping witches lifts spells...
Exactly what is cynical here. Honestly, the press.

Mantel? Hey, idiot writer, there are no fireplaces involved. The word you want is “mantle”. Your writing is as sloppy as your biased thinking.
No mention of witchcraft.
Not if they turn you into a newt and you don’t get better. If you get better, it depends on how much they weigh.
What does this have to do with him being a soldier?
Next, liquidate Ft Leavenworth’s Death Row. Two muslims and a serial killer. Sign an executive order making hanging the method of execution.
None of this BS drifting off into never-never land.
But did she or not?
