The link doesn't work.

Great idea, but broken link. Looking forward to reading the pleading.

Thanks for the good effort, Max.

I appreciate the effort of those behind this suit. I'm opposed to capital punishment (even when it's done "right") and I'm all for due process and sunshine.

I don't have a very good barometer of how long these things take. When will anything be known about this?

thanks for getting involved max. anything to help is appreciated. i am so against the procedure but anything to help is appreciated. there have been so many cases that eventually have proven the man in prison did not do it. the odds of the innocent being executed in my name are very high by now at least once or twice. every time i hear about the state doing an execution it makes me sick.

I have to say that I found it difficult, while reading the pleading, to keep my stomach from churning. In fact, I had to drink a glass of Alka-Seltzer afterward.

Those "instruments of execution" are all normally used for preserving, prolonging and saving lives in the milieu where I work, not for taking them.

It's sickening.

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The woman who killed the baby by putting it in a microwave should have her butt put in a microwave and removed from this planet. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Am I remembering this correctly.... Don't some states invite a limited number of individuals, not family of the victim or comdemned, but actual random people.. registered voters, perhaps... to actually witness their executions? Sounds pretty silly, but I'm pretty sure Oklahoma employs this... now, there's a little transparency...

Cato,

Have you ever been wrongly accused?

Does the Mike Nifong incident not show you that not only are mistakes made in our justice system but also wrongful prosecutions are intentionally filed.

I agree that there are quite a few people that I can find no justification for their continued existance but I bet there are others that would prefer me to die.

One ex-wife in particular has stated that Earth would improve with my leaving.

Either way, death sort of ends the possibility of correcting honest or dishonest mistakes later.

Are you saying she would look good stuffed in a microwave? *grin*
