    Not even remotely close to how sick his crimes were. And if he's worried or anxious over his fate... his anxiety is not even in the same hemisphere as his victims' was during his reign of terror.

    That being said: there's likely a better way to send him where he needs to go. Use Plan B, but for gawds sakes... enough oatmeal and scrambled eggs for breakfast coupled with a laundry service and Netflix.

    This guy's living the life in federal prison! The guy makes cash, watches sitcoms and movies, stays in touch with his kids, and follows politics. His victims have decomposed by now, but how lovely for him!

    Bottom line (it's a common theme): a fate far too great for him given what he did.

    Great documentary on TV in the uk last night with Susannah Reid visiting Death Row and following a guys journey to the gurney. 

    ITV played 'The End' at the time they were outsdie the chamber and the guy was taking his last breath. The song seemed extremely appropriate. 

    Well worth a watch anyway, and just struck me as PJ never feature on shows in the UK.

    Ive been revisiting the Glossip case a lot too this last week or so. 

    How on earth is that guy still in prison? That is complete bullshit. 

    OKC are now trying to have an appropriate gas mask created to use nitrogen gas after failing to source anything suitable so far.......absolute joke.

    Let them rot, but deciding to take their life is not the proper response. An eye for an eye is a dangerous precedent.

    Having followed the last couple of death penalty matters out there, its got me scratching my head. Especially the one last night, if Im reading things right there was a refusal to have a hearing at every juncture on the guys mental disability because it wasnt raised at the right time. Overwhelming evidence that the guy was a very very uneducated and childlike man in terms of his capacity, and they killed him regardless. 

    Biden may just be the breath of fresh air needed to stop these horrible occurences

    The primary reason I am anti-death-penalty.

    Convicted murderer executed in Arkansas and now someone else's DNA calls the conviction into question. But, you know, a small price to pay to get that sweet retribution.


    I don't know whether he did it or not. But this can obviously happen...

    i saw south carolina brought back the firing squad.

    not to be outdone, alabama is bringing back the guillotine, and florida is bringing back the catherine wheel.

    Happens way more than you know and unbelievably more than they admit.

    Well, because you know, the method wouldn’t make anyone a little bit concerned, knowing history and all? Why not just transport them from death row to the gas chamber in a cattle car?

    So the 8th attempt to execute Richard Glossip approaches next month, 8th date. That is just plainly absurd. 

    So we have no evidence as to his guilt, only circumstantial evidence and the testimony of a confessed murderer who offered said testimony to spare his own life. 

    I appreciate there is a little more to it, however having read the case and the evidence available, and the views of hard line death penalty proponents who believe it is plainly wrong, not to mention the documents now presented by Richard's legal team is it me or is it absolutely batshit crazy that it is all going to come down again to the plea for clemency? Is this really 2023?
