Hopefully 2013 will be more prosperous. We need to top 50 again. Regardless, the 2012 Class is now fertilizer, where they should be.

I think that was a very biased article. IF and I mean IF Texas didn't use the proper methods of determining a patient's mental status, then there would have been a hell of a lot of broohaha by now.
Totally biased reporting that needs culled from the net
Speaking of biased, check out the final sentence of this article from CNN:
Capital punishment is an empty symbol and an outmoded practice. It is expensive, fails to keep us safe and diminishes us all.
Last time I checked, a dead scumbag is harmless and priceless.

Instead of having Mississippi having three executions in three days, they had to settle for three in a month. Oh well; at least they will not have three stays in three days like Pennsylvania!

As with the Keystone State, all of these will be stayed. I do not understand why they even bother to sign the warrants.

HARRISBURG, Pa., May 30, 2012 -- /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Governor Tom Corbett has signed execution warrants for three men, each of whom were convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death.
Darien Houser, John J. Koehler Jr. and Willie Clayton are incarcerated at the State Correctional Institution at Greene.
Darien Houser, 49, is scheduled to be executed on July 24. In March 2004, Philadelphia Warrant Officer Sgt. Joseph LeClaire was attempting to serve a warrant on Houser for failing to appear at his trial on rape charges. Houser opened fire, killing LeClaire and wounding two other officers. Houser was arrested a short time later. In March 2006, Houser was sentenced to death.
John Koehler Jr., 51, is scheduled to be executed on July 25. In April 1995, Koehler's girlfriend, Regina Clark, and her 9-year-old son, Austin Hopper, were killed in Bradford County by William Curley at the urging and insistence of Koehler.
Koehler told Curley he worked for the mob and persuaded Curley to enter the profession, killing the pair as part of his "training." Koehler said if Curley didn't kill the woman and child, he would kill Curley. Both men were arrested and tried separately. Koehler was sentenced to death for both murders in April 1996.
Willie Clayton, 65, is scheduled to be executed on July 26. In 1980, two Philadelphia men, Eric Grice and Jack Summers, were shot and killed during separate robberies inside their apartments, two months apart. According to trial testimony, the victims were known drug dealers and Clayton had been seen with both men.
Also during the trial, an acquaintance testified that Clayton had confessed to him that he had killed Grice and Summers so that people would fear him and he could increase his influence over the drug traffic in Philadelphia. In February 1986, Clayton was sentenced to death for killing both men.
Executions in Pennsylvania are carried out by lethal injection. With these three warrants signed May 29, Corbett has now signed 14 execution warrants.

on: May 30, 2012, 09:54:55 AM 11 General Death Penalty / U.S. Death Penalty Discussion / CALF:HANG 'EM HIGH! Death Row Inmate hangs himself
..SAN QUENTIN, Calif. (AP) — California prison officials say a death row inmate convicted of killing a 13-year-old boy has committed suicide.
The state Department of Corrections says 68-year-old James Lee Crummel was pronounced dead Sunday after being found hanging in his cell at San Quentin State Prison.
Crummel had been on death row since being convicted in 2004 of kidnapping, molesting and killing James Wilfred Trotter. The boy disappeared on his way to school in Orange County in 1979.
Prosecutors said Crummel lived on the same Costa Mesa street where Trotter's family lived.
The boy's body wasn't found until 1990, when Crummel told police he'd found a skull while hiking in the Cleveland National Forest in Riverside County. The body wasn't identified until 1996.
Crummel's attorney said at his sentencing that her client couldn't express regret for a crime he did not commit.

No it's a waste of tax money is what it is. He has had is DAYS in court.. On with the show..
It's not a show, it's a life, and I'm certain it will happen once the DNA has been confirmed.
"DNA" is another excuse for a delay. John Spirko of Ohio had 6 "DNA" tests before his sentence was commuted.
on: May 21, 2012, 06:43:33 AM 14 General Death Penalty / U.S. Death Penalty Discussion / MISS Prison Riot Leaves One Dead
Further proof that the prison system is not infallable:
.......BRANDON, Miss. (AP) — A guard was killed and, at one point, hostages were taken during a riot at a Mississippi prison that holds illegal immigrants, authorities said.
The Sunday riot at the privately run Adams County Correctional Center in southwest Mississippi began around 2:40 p.m. CDT and involved dozens of inmates before it was brought under control that night.
Adams County Sheriff Chuck Mayfield told the Natchez Democrat that 15 employees were freed at one time during the uprising by opening a fence and protecting the route with guns. The sheriff said in a statement early Monday that there were at least two dozen hostages being held at one time.
Adams County Coroner James Lee confirmed that a guard died, but said he could not provide any other details until the correctional officer's family was notified. In addition to the guard who was killed, five other correctional officers and three inmates were injured.
Emilee Beach, a spokeswoman at the Adams County Correctional Center said that after the disturbance was brought under control Sunday night, inmates were being searched and sent back to their cells.
Beach said the prison, owned and operated by Corrections Corp. of America, holds illegal immigrants, most for charges of re-entering the United States after being deported.
The five injured guards were taken to a hospital and treated for injuries that weren't considered life-threatening.
The 2,567-bed prison in Natchez houses adult male illegal immigrants for the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
CCA spokesman Steve Owen confirmed in an email "there has been one employee death" but he said he could not provide more details immediately.
He said in an email early Monday "it is my understanding that all staff are accounted for." He said the company was investigating what caused the uprising.
Adams County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Emily Ham said no inmates had escaped the facility.
After the uprising began, CCA's Special Response Team and the Mississippi Highway Patrol's SWAT team sought to quell activities within the prison while state and local law-enforcement officers secured the perimeter of the complex, Mayfield said in a statement.
Mayfield added that prison personnel had "gained total control" of the complex.
"Right now, we have three inmate injuries that were probably sustained from other inmates — one being a stab wound, concussion and rib injuries," Mayfield added. "There were no escapes."
According to its website, Nashville, Tenn.-based CCA houses about 75,000 offenders and detainees in more than 60 facilities around the country.
Sunday's riot is not the first time CCA prisons have seen violence. The high level of violence at a CCA-run prison in Idaho has prompted federal lawsuits, public scrutiny and increased state oversight. In 2010, Vermont inmates being held at a CCA prison in Tennessee were subdued with chemical grenades after refusing to return to their cells.
