A 49-year-old man who was executed Thursday in Indiana spoke of Islam shortly before his execution at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute.
Orlando Cordia Hall was the eighth federal inmate executed this year by lethal injection.
“I invite everyone to Islam,” Hall said, according to the Tribune-Star. “Thank you for giving me this opportunity for forgiveness. Thank everyone who’s here — my family and my loved ones. I love you.”
In a release posted on its website, the Department of Justice summarized the reason Hall was executed, noting that in September 1994, after a failed drug deal “Hall and his accomplices drove to the Arlington, Texas, home of a man they believed had stolen their money.”
“The man’s 16-year-old sister, Lisa Rene, refused to let them inside. Although Rene — an honor roll student with dreams of becoming a doctor — had no role in the drug transaction, Hall and his accomplices broke into the apartment and kidnapped her at gunpoint,” the release said.
“She was studying for a test and had her textbooks on the couch when these guys came knocking on the front door,” retired Arlington detective John Stanton Sr. said, according to NBC.
“It was one that I won’t ever forget,” Stanton said. “This one was particularly heinous.”
Over two days, she was taken to Arkansas, gang-raped, bludgeoned with a shovel and buried alive.
After the girl was repeatedly raped “Hall and his accomplices took her to a park where Hall and another accomplice had dug a grave that afternoon, but they could not find the grave site in the dark. The next morning, they returned to the park with Rene,” the release said,
“At the grave site, Hall placed a sheet over Rene’s head and hit her in the head with a shovel. Rene screamed and tried to run away, but the men tackled her and took turns beating her with the shovel. After soaking her with gasoline, they dragged her into the grave and buried her alive,” the release said.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday had rejected a last-ditch effort to stop the execution.
Hall’s lawyers tried to say that Hall, who was black, did not get justice because the jurors in his case were white, according to The New York Times.
Orlando Cordia Hall
nice of him to invite everyone to visit him in hell
Lisa Rene
Yep
No thanks.
Muslim scum rapist.
Stupid thing is in any urban area today, you can throw a rock and hit at least three people that will have sex with you. Not that hard to find willing participants.
Nope, some people get a kick out of doing it with people that dont want to do it with them.
One can see why islam and libtards are intellectual siblings. Love violently forcing themselves on those who would tell them NO.
That’s a hard pass for me.
‘I invite everyone to hell’
They are not made to suffer enough....
The girl's brother, who had ripped off the drug dealer (owed the dealer money) refused to cooperate with Leo's to save his sister's life.
The girl was found in Arkansas, but too late to save her.
Hopefully the brother is still in in prison.
So in other words Hell.
Thanks for coming.
Well, bye.
The money owed was for a large quantity of marijuana that was delivered earlier.
“last-ditch”
Poor choice of words.
Glad they stuck a needle in this
guy.
Killers like this man should be executed in the same fashion as their victim.
All this crap about how ‘we’re above that’ is insane. This man should have been hit with a shovel and buried alive.
Islam is a war plan.
