DC sniper to die by needle

Convicted sniper John Allen Muhammad will die by lethal injection when he is executed next month, Virginia officials said yesterday.

Muhammad declined to choose between lethal injection and electrocution, so under state law, the method defaults to lethal injection, Virginia Department of Corrections spokesman Larry Traylor said.

Muhammad is scheduled to be executed Nov. 10 for the October 2002 slaying of Dean Harold Meyers at a Manassas gas station during a string of shootings.

I guess in the scheme of things, this is fairly fast. Way too many sit on death row for 18+ years at taxpayer expense.

    About time….as you said though there’s some who’ve sat on death row for decades so this is rather swift ….

    What ever happened to swift justice anyway?  Fast trial, found guilty, take ‘em out and hang ‘em.  No muss, no fuss, and a hell of a lot cheaper.  :?

    Is it wrong to hope someone slips some bacon into his last meal?

    LOL  Not as far as I’m concerned, Heather.

    I hope they read him his last rites, straight out of the ol Holy Bible

    Heh.  Now wouldn’t that be something.  Hmm….  Do Muslims have something similar to ‘last rites’?
