Re: 2012 Executions in the USA
Too much time between the finding of guilt and the execution. Most of the vermin we have waiting for their "Day" deserve much worse treatment than they receive in the execution chamber. The people they murdered had little compassion or kindness in the death they received at the hand of the murderer |

Re: 2012 Executions in the USA
![]() Executed August 8, 2012 LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ - Daniel Wayne Cook was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death for the 1987 strangulation murders in Lake Havasu City of 26-year-old Carlos Cruz-Ramos and 16-year-old Kevin Swaney. His execution by injection was Arizona's fifth so far this year, and more could be scheduled. The most Arizona has conducted in a year was seven in 1999. The execution started at 10:26 a.m. and Cook was pronounced dead at 11:03 a.m. Last meal: Eggplant lasagna and vegetables, root beer and ice cream. Cook's last words were an apology to the victims' families. "I'd like to say sorry to the victim's family. I know that's not enough... (significant pause)... Where am I? To my lawyers, thank you. Red Robin, yum. I'm done. I love you". |

Re: 2012 Executions in the USA
![]() Executed August 14, 2012 - An Oklahoma death row inmate who tried to delay his execution by challenging the state's lethal injection method was executed evening just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court refused to step in. Hooper was sentenced to death for killing 23-year-old Cynthia Lynn Jarman and her two children, 5-year-old Tonya and 3-year-old Timmy. Prosecutors said the three were with Hooper in a pickup truck in a mowed field when he placed a 9mm pistol under Cynthia Jarman's chin and shot her, then shot the children to prevent them from being witnesses. Each of the victims was shot twice in the head, and their bodies were buried in a shallow grave in a field northwest of Oklahoma City. Michael Hooper, convicted for the December 1993 shooting deaths of his former girlfriend and her two young children, received a lethal dose of drugs at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. Read more here Last Words: “I just want to thank God for such an excellent sendoff,” Hooper said before the execution. “Also, my family, for standing by me throughout all this. I appreciate their being there for me through the hardships.” |

Re: 2012 Executions in the USA
Richard Albert Leavitt Executed June 12, 2012 10:25 a.m. by Lethal Injection in Idaho ![]() Victim: ![]() Danette Jean Elg, 31 Crime: Sometime about July 18, 1984, the victim was brutally attacked in her bed. She suffered up to fifteen separate slash and stab wounds, including the slashing removal of her sexual organs. The body of the victim was not discovered until three or four days following the killing. The victim had reported a prowling incident two nights earlier in which she advised the police that the prowler, thought to be the defendant, had tried to enter her home. During the interim between the murder and its discovery, the defendant had contacted friends of the victim and also the police, expressing curiosity as to the victim's whereabouts. The evidence pointing to the defendant as the murderer was largely circumstantial in nature. The defendant sustained a serious incise wound to his left index finger, and on the night of July 18, 1984, he was treated for that wound at the emergency room. Serology tests showed that two distinct blood types were present. The victim's blood was type A, and tests of the blood samples from the crime scene reveal that type O blood had been deposited contemporaneously with that of the victim's type A blood. Defendant claimed he was cut with a fan, and later claimed that the injury in fact had been sustained while he was attempting to prevent his wife from attempting suicide. At trial two witnesses testified to events offered to show the defendant's alleged morbid sexual curiosity, and his frequent possession and use of knives. The defendant's former wife testified that Leavitt had been observed excising and then playing with the female sexual organs of a deer. The former mistress of the defendant testified that the defendant displayed a hunting knife prior to their engaging in sexual intercourse. Citations: State v. Leavitt, 116 Idaho 285, 775 P.2d 599 (Idaho 1989). (Direct Appeal) State v. Leavitt, 121 Idaho 4, 822 P.2d 523 (Idaho 1991). (Direct Appeal After Remand) State v. Leavitt, 141 Idaho 895, 120 P.3d 283 (Idaho 2001 (PCR) Leavitt v. Arave, ___ F.3d ___, 2012 WL 2086358 (9th Cir. 2012). (Habeas) Final/Special Meal: Baked chicken, french fries and milk Final Words: None. |
