Wife and I went to high school with a guy that’s been on Florida’s death row since 1990.....that’s 35 years.
He killed a guy back in the 80s, did time and got out believe it or not.....THEN, once out, he and his brother lured a guy to a secluded location and they killed HIM......Took 2 murders to put that guy on death row.
We often wonder after all this time how he’s avoiding an execution date.
Yes
Quite wrong.
These cases should be expedited.
Execution should be less than a year after conviction.
They should be behind the courthouse that evening.
Yes, I think the convict should be given 1 year to bring forth credible new evidence, then out-a-here. In its current form, the death penalty is not much of a deterrent to horrific crimes. Oh, and death by hanging would help.
In the 1930s a guy named Guiseppe Zangara tried to assassinate FDR in Miami. He missed and hit the mayor of Chicago.
He was tried, convicted, and executed in 19 days.
Why do you say 20? Isn’t it clearly 30 years?
Look up the The Greenlease Kidnapping (1953). Back then, they didn’t mess around with all the ACLU garbage and such. The perps were caught, convicted, and then executed. Eighty-one days had passed since the kidnapping. No endless appeals. Need to return to that kind of justice.
The Lincoln Conspirators were hanged in less than 90 days...............84.............
I VOTE FOR 1 CALENDAR MINUTE
The good old days.
They did it right.
Idaho where they just spared the confessed killer, has one man who has been allowed to delay his execution for 40 years.
40 years. Thomas Eugene Creech age 73.
Nod to Paul Mauro on Fox News for that information.
In the Woody Allen movie Love and Death there was a scene of people waiting to be executed and a sign “Take a number.”
