The oldest man since 1941 was executed in Alabama for a 1977 murder. They tried the usual bullshit of "this is cruel and unusual" punishment.
Well excuse me, but....
....doesn't anybody give a flying fuck about the 62 year old woman he murdered in Tuscaloosa 27 years ago?
Doesn't anybody give a fuck about the other person he murdered in 1957?
This sonofabitch had barely been released from prison when he killed this woman.
This asshole has been on the taxpayer's dole called "prison" almost constantly for 47 years!
The needle was too good for this bastard. They should have sent him to one of the 4 states that still hang people ( Washington, Montana, New Hampshire and Delaware) or even to the one state that has the firing squad (Utah).
Hell- the should have had him stand on a street corner in Tuscaloosa carrying a sign that says "murderer" and see how long he would have lasted.
tough shit! He is a murderer and he can die. End of story!!
