Throat-Culture of Life

Amendment VI to the United States Constitution:

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

Meanwhile back at the ranch in Texas:

[Frances] Newton, 40, briefly turned her head to look at her family as the drugs began flowing. She appeared to try to mouth something to her relatives, but the drugs took effect. She coughed once and gasped as her eyes closed. She was pronounced dead eight minutes later.

One of her sisters stood against a wall at the rear of the death house, her head buried in her arms. Her parents held hands and her mother brushed away a tear before they walked to the back of the chamber to console their other daughter.

George Bush doesn't care about black people!

Rest In Peace, Frances.

Condolences to the family.

Her family?

Her family weeps for the two children she killed at the same time she was killing her husband for the $100K in insurance money she expected to reap from their deaths.

I mean, I'm all for minority small business, but this fund-raising scheme went a bit far for my taste.

Again, further proof of how confused your and your ilk have become that you would hold this child-killer up as some kind of icon. Sick, sick, sick.
