LA Supreme Court just denied the writ. Hope the State doesn’t screw this up.

Do you see baptism as some sort of magic process?
It is faith rather than a ceremony which saves.

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it, but that's got to be some scary shite sitting in a cell hoping on prayer on the day you are scheduled to be executed. Especially after almost 30 years of probably figuring that it would never happen.

I appreciate their grace, but just like victims don't get to decide guilt, they also don't get to change the course of the penalty that is to be meted out.

She did not have children, but she was married. Presumably Catholic, given that her given name was Mary Margaret Murphy Elliott. This POS put her husband, parents, siblings and friends through two days of HELL before her body was found - at THANKSGIVING!! Do you think that a single year has gone by since then that their holiday has not been spoiled by the memory of what she went through? Kill this mfer already!!!

Alabama has 2 or 3 choices...

quote:

Inmates sentenced to death can choose to be executed by electrocution or nitrogen hypoxia instead of lethal injection, but they must make this choice in writing within 30 days after the Alabama Supreme Court affirms their sentence.


Pick one.

quote:

Having a traumatic death can impact reincarnation, Hoffman's lawyers wrote.


The irony of this, my gracious. How traumatic was it for Mary Molly Elliot, who was abducted, raped, executed then abandoned?

I am of the opinion that the death penalty should be carried out by any means suitable and necessary... where there is a choice, sure, let the condemned pick his poison... but a 'traumatic death' cannot be avoided, nor become grounds to subvert justice.

I don’t know what Buddha say, but Confucius say, this someting Jessie should have considered while doing the kidnapping, raping and murdering. Was she able to meditate during that process?

Your next life is in hell. Bye.

While his crime was abhorrent and vile, reading the executed’s wife’s statement should give one at least a moment of pause.

What if, in the nearly 30 intervening years, he truly did find true redemption and reformation into a decent man no longer capable of such senseless violence? Both Christianity and biology give credence to the thought - the New Testament teaches limitless forgiveness while neuroscience tells us that the brain isn’t fully developed until around age 25. Like the Ship of Theseus, the man who was killed in 2025 could bear no resemblance to the one who committed an atrocity in 1996 either spiritually or neurally.

I say all of this knowing that had he done this to a loved one of my own I would be filled with the desire for vengeance and hardly be satisfied with such a humane death after having lived so much longer than his victim. But would this just be my own base primal urge, or ungodly sinful nature, either of which must be overcome in civil society and/or adherence to Christianity?

Just food for thought - it’s a little disturbing to see so many self-proclaimed Christians reveling in someone’s death.
