I hope that the death penalty cases are processed faster. With DNA evidence it is even more difficult to wrongly convict someone. As far as a last meal, if I owned a restaurant where a condemned inmate requests a last meal I would deny them.

They are catered to enough at taxpayer expense their last meal should be whatever is on the menu in the prison that day.

I remeber you expressed these feelings in the 2010 thread, too. These meals seem to crack you up :D

Leroy White

Executed January 13, 2011 09:10 p.m. by Lethal Injection in Alabama



Crime:

Schoolteacher Ruby White had filed for divorce in August 1988. Angry about the divorce, her husband Leroy White shot her in the leg with a .38-caliber pistol after she filed the divorce petition, but she did not press charges. On October 17, Leroy White went to her home where she was visiting with her sister. Leroy White shot open the home’s front door and went inside where he shot Stella Lanier in the chest and shoulder. He returned to his car, reloaded the shotgun and went back in the house. He shot Ruby White with the shotgun while she was running out the door. He returned again to his car to reload the shotgun, then fired more shots at Ruby White while she was lying in the yard. She died at the scene from wounds to her arm, chest, neck and leg. Stella Lanier survived and testified against White.

The jury took about 20 minutes to convict White of capital murder and then voted 9-3 to recommend a sentence of life without parole. The trial Judge rejected the recommendation and sentenced White to death.

Citations:

White v. State, 587 So.2d 1218 (Ala.Cr.App. 1990). (Direct Appeal)
White v. State, 587 So.2d 1236 (Ala.1991). (Direct Appeal)

Final/Special Meal:

Guards at Holman Prison in Atmore offered White a final meal this afternoon but he declined, instead buying a cheeseburger from the vending machine plus a V8 juice, pork skins and a Yahoo drink, according to Brian Corbett, spokesman for Alabama Department of Corrections.


Final Words:

Declined.

and thats why you press charges after someone shoots you in the leg

Great post. I am a proponent of the death penalty.

Damn....bad news:

According to press reports, there is a serious shortage of "sodium thiopental" (one of the three drugs used for executions by lethal injection) in US prisons all across the country.
This may result in executions being postponed for months....


....which means my thread will go to the dogs in 2011

So just use a firing squad.

They could dust off old sparky and just do it quick and easy and screw the condemned. Instead of letting them go to sleep, let them fry and feel some of the pain they inflicted on other human beings and their families.
