Father executed for setting fire that killed three kids
(curses, obscene gesture to ex-wife)

Excerpt:

HUNTSVILLE, Texas – Spewing profanities at his ex-wife standing a few feet away, an angry former auto mechanic was executed Tuesday evening for the deaths of his three young children in a fire at their home two days before Christmas 12 years ago.

"The only statement I want to make is that I am an innocent man convicted of a crime I did not commit," Cameron Willingham, an Ardmore, Okla., native, said. "I have been persecuted for 12 years for something I did not do."

Willingham, 36, said, "From God's dust I came and to dust I will return so the Earth shall become my throne. I gotta go, Road Dog."

He expressed love to someone named Gabby and then addressed his ex-wife, Stacy Kuykendall, who was watching about 8 feet away through a window. He told her repeatedly in obscenity-laced language that he hoped she would "rot in hell" and attempted to maneuver his hand, strapped at the wrist, into an obscene gesture.

His former wife showed no reaction to the outburst. She declined to speak to reporters.

Willingham was pronounced dead at 6:20 p.m., seven minutes after the lethal dose began flowing through his veins.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas Executions ping list!. . .don't be shy.

Toast ?

Evidence at his trial showed he was abusive to his family and once beat his pregnant
wife with a telephone to try to force a miscarriage.

I wonder if Planned Parenthood paid any legal fees for this amateur abortionist...

This guy did it. I would have died fighting to save my children if my house was burning.

"I told her to get out of the house" - TO A TWO YEAR OLD!!!! Gimma a F-in break! And, if the flames were blocking his way, what about running around to a window and breaking in from that direction to save your children.

He was right on one thing though "Dude's Lyin" --only he is the dude. Good riddance to bad rubbish!

[COEXERJ145]

Good riddance.

Now, a message for the dead POS. "Welcome to Hell!"

He told her repeatedly in obscenity-laced language that he hoped she would "rot in hell" and attempted to maneuver his hand, strapped at the wrist, into an obscene gesture.

ROTFLOL!!!!

A nutjob to the very end.

He must be pissed that he did the crime in Texas and not Massachussets.

The dealth penalty is 100% effective. This "P.O.S." will never kill again.

Damn Right

[Houmatt]

What a piece of crap. May he burn in hell for all eternity.

[No Truce With Kings]

Definitely a case where he should be executed. Not so much for committing that kind of crime, as being the type of person who *would* commit that kind of crime.

Texas is better off without him. Between Hell and Texas . . . well, I guess he started renting out Texas today.

"From God's dust I came and to dust I will return so the Earth shall become my throne. I gotta go, Road Dog."

LOL! He's a regular Shakespeare. Sicko freak.

[SpookBrat]

How sad to meet God like that. I don't understand evil. I'm glad we are rid of him.

[coloradan]

"All you had to do [to support the death penalty] was see the pictures of little babies. "Anybody that can do that, you just think: My God, what kind of sadistic monster is this?"

The same could be said of the Branch Davidian children. Unfortunately, they were murdered by They Who Will Not Prosecute Themselves.

Willingham, a 10th grade dropout, had a history of violence and a record of felony and misdemeanor convictions both as an adult and juvenile. He said he got hooked on inhalants as a young teenager and was in and out of treatment centers beginning at age 14. He also spent time at a boot camp in Oklahoma.

Good riddance to him --- but you kind of have to wonder how a loser like this finds women to marry him and bear him children in the first place. Maybe he was quite a con man and convinced women he was something other than what he was.

three bbq pork ribs, two orders of onion rings, fried okra, three beef enchiladas with cheese and two slices of lemon creme pie.
