She was the first woman executed in Georgia for seventy years and the sixteenth woman executed in the United States since the death penalty was reestablished in 1976.

Thoughts?

This is all really weird for me because her daughter was a high school classmate of mine.

Small world...

Was this before or after the mother was imprisoned?

I partially redact my previous statement:

Hopefully 37 days will be enough for the defense to make a new case.

Unfortunately, Oklahoma is so obsessed with the death penalty public officials seldom care about innocence, more interested in putting more and more people to death to appear "tough".

Grisham's "The Innocent Man" covers this better than any other book I can think of.

To be honest, it's pretty obvious that Fallin approved of the stay to avoid controversy rather than to check the chemicals or whatever.

Yes, I do. She was a cold blooded murderer.

Good, the death penalty needs to be used on more cases like this.

Reprimand cold-blooded murder with cold-blooded murder?

Slightly more than 2/3 opposed.

If she didn't want to be with her husband, she could have left him him. Her problem was that she was greedy and wanted his money, so she had him killed so she could take all his money. She didn't have to pull the trigger to be a murderer. She got exactly what she deserved, period.

Wow, for once I agree with you on something. She was also a pretty good actor/liar and never showed regret or remorse for her crimes.

Yes, I do. She was a cold blooded murderer.

Reprimand cold-blooded murder with cold-blooded murder?

Cold-blooded? LOL. She knew what awaited her when she decided to kill her husband. Death penalty /=/ murder. Im sure you'd be thinking the same if it was your father who got killed.

I would so do a Dukakis.
