HE'S HAD 35 YRS TO GET USED TO THE IDEA, HIS VICTIM WASN'T SO LUCKY. HE CHOSE THIS METHOD & IT'S ABOUT TIME IT WAS CARRIED OUT, HIS SENTENCE WAS JUST & FAIR.
IF THEY WON'T HONOUR THAT THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF A TRIAL IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WHY HAS IT TAKEN 35 YEARS IS WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW?
I am opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances
Anyone who truly feels bad for inmates is a joke and a serious piece of garbage. They are inmates for a reason. You wouldnt sympathize and feel bad for Hitler or Bin Laden would you?

murdering someone to because they murdered someone is not justice its Hypocrisy, revenge, and cruel and unusual punishment.
besides, why would anyone give the state this much power but not trust them with anything else?
Oh, HE'S not ready? HE'S still suffering from the failed first attempt? Did HE give a rats a$$ that the woman HE was killing wasn't ready to die? Did HE care about her suffering as HE was murdering her? So, why should we give a $h!t about him and his suffering? This is pathetic.
This is both sad and pathetic…
here they go protecting the criminal.
Supreme Court fast lane
His victim didn t get a chance to heal. Shame he didn't show the same empathy for himself to his victim.
Sweet home Alabama
Nice background music 😂
1988!!?? Why is this man still alive!
They’re gonna b sorry I promise that whole legal system so they better let him out!! They can’t go based off what people that be lying says!!! Which I know they got paid, the system…!!!! Tf
1988?? I'm pretty sure it's 2024 now. What's he still doing here?
He didn't give the preacher's wife a chance to heal.
🗝️
Thirty seven years later they decide to execute him?Why so long?
Funny how America uses the same Bible they claim to abide bye when they execute a person.
Wrong people have been in charge far too long.
Success can not be established without experimentation.
Experimentation typically demands some deviation from norms. Establishing such norms do not seem to concur with prevalent sentiment
I oppose capital punishment, as do the followers of the Roman Church
This music don’t fit fam😂
What?! I thought a botched attempt sets them free or something…i guess not
Did he give his victim the same consideration? No? He’s meeting his Maker.
What’s with the stupid disco music?
What ? A convicted murderer has more rights than the lady he murdered What ?
What do you mean 1988? I thought he was on death row, how he still alive?
I’m sure your victim is still healing.
So incompetent
If you're wondering why the first one failed his first last words were "double it and give it to the next guy" unfortunately he was still the next guy. Second last words?
Do I even wanna know what happened the first time? 😂😂
Just be sure the guy is guilty.
I remember when bush junior was governor of texas. He sent more people to their death than all states combined
Denying a stay of execution. Later on after a new technoloy blood test prisons across the country yielded 40% convictions were released proving them innocent!
My God this man is being executed twice for a crime that happened in 1988? At this point its just weird for so many reasons.
He killed her for one thousand dollars. How much is the executioner being paid tomorrow night?
35 years after the crime. Come on already. ⌛ ⏳
The whole thing is cruel.
He's been on death row since 1989. He's already had more extra time then his victim had in life.
The Story: 👮🏼⚰️🪦💉💀
The music: 🎶🎶🕺🏼🎶🎶
You gotta love the Geometry Dash music in the background.
They talk about executions like it’s normal! It’s 2024 and America is still executing its own citizens duuh
This man is on death row longer than I want to live a free man.
If the Judicial System fallowed God's law on capitol punishment like they should , he'd be dead within 6 months of Conviction.. So far he's cost the government 8+ Million dollars….. 2.414
Inmates are currently on Death Roe.
That's almost $20 Billion if the others last as long as he did before Execution.
Second times a charm
That suks
Euthanasia is the easiest way to go. They don't use hydrogen cyanide anymore. They use nitrogen. The condemned just pass out and then asphyxiate in their sleep.
