Tommy Lynn Sells to be executed today

[El Chimpo]

One of many who deserved to be killed. But as a father of 3 I am extreme. I think philes should be executed.

They should

 

[JAEGERX]

good news, fuck that guy

 

[Jimmy Tuna**]

kill all the things

 

[Thanos]

If he got the death penalty, why not do it ASAP? Tax dollars and all that stuff.

more time

more profit

You are all overlooking the fact that she was stealing. That's a crime.

There are some deep flaws in the American system.

This man, Glenn Ford, was exonerated three weeks ago, after having spent 30 years on death row:

He's the 144th death row inmate to be exonerated in the US since 1973.

Since 1976, there have been 1373 executions in the United States.

Think about this for a second. For every 10 executions in the US in the past four decades, there was one guy who was proven innocent. Mind boggling.

Another reason I'm not all too bummed out to not live in the US.

Appeals process takes years before all options are exhausted. I'm against the Death penalty solely because it cost far more taxpayer dollars than just leaving them in a cell for life.

Your lack of support for the death penalty is what fuels these expensive, drawn-out stays on death row.

If someone isn't convicted with absolutely air-tight evidence, they shouldn't get the death penalty.

If someone is convicted without a shred of doubt, then the death penalty should be carried out right after sentencing.

Just my two cents.

You're not making any sense. Explain how my beliefs fuel the costs of death row because it's a circular argument. I don't support the Death penalty because it's very expensive; which leads to the Death Penalty being expensive? Explain yourself further.

Your two statements following your premise addresses a system requiring extensive reform of the Death Penalty. My views addresses the flaws of the Death Penalty as it functions and exists today.

Opponents of the death penalty create and then cite opinion polls which ask if people support the death penalty. You don't, which fuels their efforts to do things like extend the stays of death row inmates. The circular arrangement here is that opposing the swift execution of condemned criminals creates the prohibitively expensive stays and appeals.

''In July 1985, when he was 21 years old, Sells was working at a carnival in Forsyth, Missouri. There he met Ena Cordt, 35, who had brought her 4-year old son to the carnival as a treat. Cordt found Sells attractive and invited him back to her home that same evening. According to Sells, he had sex with Cordt, but awoke during the night to find her stealing from his backpack. Seizing her son's baseball bat, he beat her to death. He also murdered her son in case he could be used as a witness. The two badly bludgeoned bodies were found three days later, by which time Tommy Lynn Sells had moved on.''




Now, the question is.....will he get a stay? lol

What a over reaction... Were the shit in his backpack worth rotting his life in a cell? Was it worth more than his life? God damn, this mother fucker must be in total regret.

That was just an excuse. This dude is a serial killer who killed for fun. When he got caught he sneaked in to a bedroom where two girls were sleeping and stabbed the other one to death and slit the other girls throat, but the girl survived and with her help they were able to catch him. POS like him do not regret, people are just toys for them.

Your understanding of the Death Penalty and mechanisms of the court system is wrong then. It was precedent set by State Supreme Courts that every appeal regarding the Death Penalty must be heard to it's full extent. The courts feel that there shouldn't be mistakes made when it comes to capital punishment. The length of the stay has not been extended artificially because it takes a very long time to get through a backlog of the court system. Who specifically are the opponents of the Death penalty, and how do they extend the stays? The courts are working on probabilities because they would rather have a false negative than a false positive.

Understand that it is the functions of how the court system works, not the protesters, that causes the time and expense of the death penalty. There's a reason why it takes decades for innocent people to be exonerated for the murders that they did not commit, the court system is a slow process, and I'm sure those men want to live in society rather than in jail waiting to be executed. If those men are innocent, why didn't they expedite their exoneration instead of waiting decades? The answer is because that's not how the court system works, and that has nothing to do with the vocal opponents of the death penalty. Besides, it doesn't make sense that you advocate for the abolishment of appeals for the highest crime while lesser crimes and convictions are able to be appealed. The process is there to prevent abuse of the court system.

I'd agree if it could be demonstrated that no one who is guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt is sitting on death row, awaiting a long-off execution date.

I agree so very strongly to this, how could anybody justify Richard Ramirez spending 20 years and dying of natural causes before facing the gurney

Are you black? No? Then no problem!

The american system is flawed but in Canada this kind of shit happens

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Tim_McLean

Guy randomly stabs a dude to death, beheads him, eats parts of him, please insanity due to feeling threatened by gods voice, judge agrees.

guy gets unsupervised full day visits from his mental health hospital to nearby towns in winnipeg,

I don't wish ill will on anyone, but this piece of shit does not deserve freedom of any sort. He robbed a young man of his life, and beat the system and has not paid for it in any way.
