None of their victims had a choice in the way they died. The culprits should not be given an easy way out, and being put to death by lethal injection IS an easy way out. We euthanize animals in pain that way, as a release. Not a punishment.

+1 internets. I would bring back burning at the stake, with an alternate choice of the guillotine or a public hanging, for particularly heinous crimes (like child murder, serial murders along the lines of BTK, Leonard Lake & Charles Ng, Jeffrey Dahmer, Henry Lee Lucas and my namesake Ottis Toole, or Richard Ramirez, and sexual abuse of children, animals or the elderly), and in many cases have the courts deny funerals to the condemned's families/friends.

William Josef Berkley

Executed April 22, 2010 06:18 p.m. CDT by Lethal Injection in Texas



Victim:




Crime:

18-year-old Sophia Martinez left her house around 10:15 p.m. on her way to a nightclub in El Paso. That was the last time she was seen alive. Her body was found the next day in a remote area outside El Paso. She had been shot five times in the head and face. Her body also tested positive for sperm which was later matched to Berkley. A video from a Credit Union ATM showed that at 10:22 p.m. Sophia approached the ATM and withdrew $20. At 10:24 p.m. a man later identified as Berkley approached the passenger side of Sophia’s car with his arms extended. He pointed a pistol at Sophia and the passenger side window shattered. Berkley then moved around to the driver’s side and got into the backseat. A bleeding Sophia withdrew $200 from her account at 10:25 p.m.

Earlier, Michael Jaques told Berkley that he needed money to pay his court costs and Berkley said he would take care of it. They began discussing different ways of getting the money and Berkley finally suggested a hold-up at an ATM. Berkley got out to hide in the bushes near the Credit Union. When Jaques saw a new model car pull up, he flashed the headlights. Berkley emerged from the bushes and approached the car. Berkley later told Jaques that he had forced his way into the car and shot Sophia, then forced her at gunpoint to withdraw $200, then drive to a secluded area where he shot her. Later, the wife of Jaques came forward and told police that Berkley stopped by their home and placed Sophia’s driver’s license on the grill to burn and threw her car keys on the roof of the apartments. Police recovered the keys from that location and also recovered a handgun from Berkley's father's home.

Accomplice Michael Angelo Jacques was sentenced to life in prison for planning the robbery and hiding evidence.

Citations:

Berkley v. Quarterman, 310 Fed.Appx. 665 (5th Cir. 2009). (Habeas)

Final/Special Meal:

Two BLT cheeseburgers, two jalapeño cheeseburgers, fried okra, french fries with ketchup and mustard, brownies, chocolate and vanilla ice cream, and three root beers.

Last Words:

"Samantha, I love you with all my heart and soul. Cori, thanks for everything. Make sure my princess is alright. Death before dishonor. Cori, I think you should continue with criminal law. It¹s your decision. They need lawyers out there that will fight. Death before dishonor. Warden, let her rip. Thank you for coming, Irene." He did not acknowledge his crime or the victim's witnesses.

Michael Adam Sigala

Executed March 2, 2010 06:20 p.m. CDT by Lethal Injection in Texas



Crime:

Sigala unlawfully entered the Plano apartment of Kleber and Lilian Dos Santos and shot Kleber in the head. He then tortured Lilian and then shot her twice in the head after apparently forcing her to remove her clothes and binding her hands and neck with telephone cords. After the murders, Sigala ransacked the apartment and took the Santos’ wedding rings and several other items. Police arrested Sigala two months later after several of the stolen items were recovered from various shops and traced back to him. Sigala confessed to killing Kleber, ejaculating as Lilian lay on the bed, and stealing the couple’s rings. Testing of the semen discovered on the floor next to the bed revealed an “exact” DNA match to Sigala. On the date of the murder, Sigala was on probation for robbery and allowed to leave a Dallas-area substance abuse treatment center for the day to look for a job.

Sigala v. State, 2004 WL 231326 (Tex.Cr.App. 2004). (Direct Appeal)
Sigala v. Quarterman, 338 Fed.Appx. 388 (5th Cir. 2009). (Habeas)

Final/Special Meal:

Deep-fried burritos and chocolate pudding.

Final Words:

"I would like to ask for forgiveness of the family. I have no reason for why I did it. I don't understand why I did it. I hope that you can live the rest of your lives without hate."

Rogelio Reyes Cannady

Executed May 19, 2010 06:19 p.m. CDT by Lethal Injection in Texas



Crime:

On October 10, 1993, while serving two consecutive life sentences for murders he committed in 1990, Cannady beat his cellmate, fifty-five-year-old Bonal, to death with a padlock attached to the end of his belt. Prison guards found Bonal lying on the cell floor with his hands tied behind his back with a belt. Cannady had no apparent wounds or injuries, but his boots and clothing were covered with blood. Blood was splattered and smeared on the cell walls, the bedding of both bunks, and the furniture. Concealed in a pair of boots, the officers found a belt and the face of a combination lock. The body of the lock had been dumped in the cell’s commode. Bonal was serving a 15-year sentence for murder. He died two days after the attack. Cannady unsuccessfully asserted self-defense at trial.

Cannady v. Dretke, 173 Fed.Appx. 321 (5th Cir. 2006). (Habeas)

Final/Special Meal:

Seven beef-and-cheese enchiladas, pico de gallo, two cheeseburgers, fries and two pieces of fried chicken.

Last Words:

“I was in there now thinking about how we grew up. You know how we grew up in the same house. We need to start loving each other like we used to. I'm going to be OK. Y'all take care of yourself ... May God have mercy on my soul." With his last statement concluded, the lethal injection was started. Cannady then laughed and lifted his head from the gurney. "I thought it was going to be harder than this," he said, grinning. "I am ready to go. I'm going to sleep now. I can feel it. It's affecting me." He then lost consciousness and began snoring.
