On May 1, 2013, the State of Ohio executed Steven Smith for the September 29, 1998 killing of his live-in girlfriend's daughter, 6 month old Autumn Carter. Smith had recently tried to get his sentence reduced to life in prison, arguing that he was too drunk to realize that his assault was killing Autumn and didn't mean to hurt the baby.

"Convicted killer suing murdered victim's family"
After the judge tosses out this frivolous lawsuit, which hopefully will happen forthwith, he should discipline the attorney involved in filing this lawsuit. If that doesn't happen, the victim should sue the attorney.
Any lawsuit where the criminal sues the victim, for anything even remotely arising from the crime committed against the victim, is reprehensible.

Her throat had been cut, an autopsy showed, but she died from a single blow to the head from a concrete block.

Two Kentucky hospitals have rejected requests to perform a $56,000 hip replacement surgery on a Death Row inmate whose execution date could come this year.After more than a year of efforts to find a hospital to perform the surgery on Robert Foley, 56, the University of Louisville Hospital and the University of Kentucky Medical Center turned down the state's entreaty.The decisions are noted in a court filing Tuesday. They leave Foley's immediate future in limbo, but he is one of two Kentucky death row inmates whose executions are waiting to be scheduled.Foley was convicted of killing six people in Eastern Kentucky in 1989 and 1991, making him the most prolific killer on the state's Death Row.
Kentucky is trying to restart executions after a nearly four-year delay and it can't come soon enough.

When I worked as a Corrections Officer at the state prison, we (officers) hated dealing with the 'lifers'. Ones who were life without the possibility of parole. They didn't care what they did before or while they were our 'guests'. They weren't going anywhere and whatever you did for additional punishment was just a change of pace or location.
My opinion, if they are convicted of a capitol offense they get three years to provide new evidence or bye-bye. The cost for food, medical, housing, corrections staff is staggering. The United States has the highest
per capita incarceration of any nation. Privatized prisons are BIG business.

The main argument against the "DP" seems to be the possibility of error in the conviction. Around the globe, however, errors in our military actions produce death - and we continue, trying all the while, of course, to avoid errors. Why should it be different here at home?
As for the truly guilty, what are we denying them by the application of the DP? A happy family life in cheerful surroundings? No - and death itself is, of course, inevitable. We will spend many dollars worth of medical treatment to postpone that, but it's there.
In the meantime, it is claimed that we will save money by denying further appeals and trials. Perhaps some of that can be used to console families of future victims, both in and out of prison. As for those to be denied the extra legal appeals, some of the saved funds can be used for flowers for their cells.

mnrick041, when was the last time that Minnesota executed someone? It was 1905. The person who was executed was William Williams in 1906. The botched execution which took over 14 minutes for him to die was the catalyst for it's repeal. Since I lived in MN for 18 years some further history is that it also holds the record in the U.S. for the largest mass execution of 38 Dakota Indians in 1862. Some of those trials lasted less than 5 minutes.

MNRick, I don’t see the death penalty as a deterrent or a form of punishment. I see it as the only we to insure that the animals that commit the most heinous of crime never get the opportunity to kill again.
How many people have been killed by murders that have either been released on parole or escaped?
-
A SHORT LIST OF MURDERERS RELEASED TO MURDER AGAIN
-
At the link says this is just the short list.
As you can see if a murder is released everyone in the general public is at risk.
Even if the killer gets a life sentence every other prisoenrWhen lifers kill in prison, is it a waste to prosecute them? is at risk.
Every guard Inmate beats female prison guard to death
Even the medical staff that the system gives them to extend their miserable lives are at risk.Vigil to honor nurse killed by jail inmate
Now if you still have a problem with the death penalty read this one.Some of the details of this crime are so gruesome that they were not publicized.
If these men are allowed to live and kill again who is to blaim?

It works on that one particular individual, insures that he will never get paroled from prison and commit another crime but it is questionable as to whether or not it is a deterrent, if it is worth the cost and if it is worth the damage it does to our standing in the international community.
About 15 years ago I did a paper in school where I did a lot of research, it was relevant to the crime stats at that time (so don't compare this to 2012 crime reports). I Think I used Louisiana, Missouri, Arizona and Minnesota as examples which at the time were close to each other in the population rankings of the states.
Of those 4 Minnesota is the only one without a death penalty and Minnesota also had (at the time) the lowest per capita incarceration rate of any state while Louisiana and Arizona had two of the highest incarceration rates. Minnesota largely relies on community corrections, meaning they usually put the offenders back out on the streets, into programs rather than send them to prison.
In the report I used BJS crime stats from the 4 States and Minnesota had the lowest crime rates of any of those 4 similar sized death penalty states.
I realize MN has a advantage because we have a low minority population, less poverty and other positive factors but it is hard to say that the death penalty really "works" when you look at a example like that. It was like Minnesota is the softest on crime State out there and Louisiana (at the time) had a off the chart incarceration rate but yet MN was far safer as far as there being less crime.

"Topic: The Death Penalty Does Work"
Yes, it does, but it works on both the guilty and the innocent.
When it works as it should it is very, very, good.
When it doesn't it is no less than State sanctioned murder.
The question that remains (and I have no answer as I am not against Capital Punishment) are the trade-offs worth it? Many here (and in the World of Sharia Law) say, "Yes"; and many here say, "No" (as well as most the the Western "civilized" countries).

While awaiting sentencing at a highly secure prison for the state's most dangerous inmates, Gleason strangled 26-year-old Aaron Cooper through wire fencing that separated their individual cages in a recreation yard in July 2010. As officers tried to resuscitate Cooper — video surveillance shows had been choked on and off for nearly an hour — Gleason told them "you're going to have to pump a lot harder than that."
Prior to those two murders he was serving life in prison for the 2007 fatal shooting of a man

runningmp, clearly the prosecutor made the call. But given the heinous and obvious capital nature of the crime, and the fact that Breazel's accomplice did in fact receive the death penalty, the call should have been made by a jury.
At the very least, if the prosecutor felt a plea deal was absolutely necessary, the deal should have been for no less than life without parole, not a 20 year second degree murder sentence that let Breazel back on the streets where he is today. But better that there should be no plea deals in capital cases. That allows some murderers arbitrarily to escape a just punishment, and the public to be endangered by their presence outside of prison.
Plea deals while widely viewed as necessary are in fact one of the biggest defects of our criminal justice system, for this and other reasons.

Richard Stokley was executed, but what happened to his accomplice, Randy Brazeal?
According to the article:
"Brazeal, who was 19 when the girls were killed, was released from prison July 2, 2011, after serving his full 20-year sentence.
"While Stokley said both men participated in the slayings, Brazeal denied involvement in the killings. However, he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, avoiding a trial that the then-county attorney feared could result in an acquittal because DNA evidence was not yet ready."
Both men were guilty of a heinous and capital crime. But while one man received the death penalty as the verdict of a jury of his peers, the other got off due to a plea bargain, and is alive and at large today.
It would have been different had Breazel been exonerated or given a lesser sentence by a jury. But instead, a prosecutor lacking in courage, took a jury trial, and therefore the death penalty, off the table.
Justice has not been served.

For guilty and innocent alike. It truly is a non disciminating punishment.
Fortunately, most states did not meekly submit to the radical right's call to execute them quickly. Because of that, hundreds of people who were sentenced to die have been shown to be not guilty after all.
Killing innocent people just so you can sleep a little better at night is pretty disgusting.

Charles was still alive but severely injured with knife wounds to her neck and chest, police said. When an officer asked who was responsible for the attack, she gave a name, "Preston," and said he tried to rape her. She died moments later.

On November 8, 2012, the State of Texas executed Mario Swain for the murder of Lola Nixon at her home in East Texas' Longview two days after Christmas in 2002. Evidence showed Swain threw the 46-year-old Nixon's body into the trunk of her BMW after killing her, drove to a remote area outside of the city about 120 miles east of Dallas and dumped it in the back seat of an abandoned car.
Justice has been served.

On November 6, 2012, the State of Oklahoma executed Gary Allen for murder of his fiancée, Lawanna Gail Titsworth, 24, on Nov. 21, 1986. Three days after Titsworth left Allen with their two sons, Allen confronted the victim outside of the children’s day care and shot her in the chest. He left, and then returned, shooting Titsworth three times in the back. When police found Allen in an alley, Allen fought with an officer, attempting to force the officer to shoot himself with his service weapon. The officer moved the weapon, causing the bullet to strike Allen in the left eye.
Justice has been served.

rjhenn, thanks for pointing that out. Didn't scroll down far enough. There was an execution that day...just not Donnie Roberts. He was already dead and buried.

You posted that one over a week ago. The execution date was October 31.

On November 8, 2012, the State of Texas executed Donnie Roberts for the 2003 murder of his girlfriend, Vicki Bowen. Authorities said he apparently met Bowen, a dental assistant, at a bar and moved in with her at her Lake Livingston home, about 75 miles northeast of Houston. Their relationship soured because Roberts wasn't working and was abusing drugs and alcohol, investigators said, and he shot Bowen after she refused his demand for money.
Justice has been served.
