Is it just me, or does this seem ironic? We have an appeals process, as well we should. But this guy keeps getting his date with his maker delayed at the last minute. Doesn't that sound like a 'cruel and unusual punishment?' I mean, TWENTY-THREE years since he killed Richard Wayne Whitehead. And NOW this last minute stay. What an emotional roller-coaster that must be for Banks and his family? Seems like an expedited finish would have been more humane to me. But I guess this is the way the LIBS like it? . . .
