I love Texas, and, most Texans (except the democrats)!

When I was a little girl, "justice" was meted-out in a "timely" fashion. I have always remembered the first case I read about.... (I was only five or six at the time):

Little Bobby Greenlease was kidnapped from his Catholic school in Kansas City, Missouri, by a woman claiming to be an aunt, and subsequently murdered by Carl & the "aunt" Bonnie (their surnames escape me).

This occurred in early Septmember, 1953 (I think it was 1953). Immediately after the ransom was paid, they were caught and arrested while they sat in a bar using the ransom money to get drunk. Subsequently, they were both tried and convicted by late October, and both fried in the Missouri electric chair in December, 1953!

Bobby's little body was unearthed behind their house in St. Joseph, Missouri. He had been shot and they had put lye atop his body.

Kidnap and murder in September and fry in December! THAT was true justice for the murderous two-some!
