"He then was shot in the neck and face and twice in the back."

Accident, huh? That reminds me of Chicago-- "Then he ran into my knife. He ran into my knife ten times."

Glad to see that Willie Pondexter has convinced himself that he didn't actually kill Martha Lennox.

I seem to recall from his trial that, when he took the gun from his cohort and fired the second fatal shot, good old Willie proclaimed, "that's not how you smoke a b**ch, this is how you smoke a b**ch."
Swell guy.

And, gee, the reporter just took his quote at face value. Gotta like how they write a balanced story. ["Balanced" only means that someone says the opposite in the story. Truth be damned.]

[It is interesting to see where the victim's family has evolved by the point of execution.]

"I can't forgive him," Rodriguez said. "I don't feel any guilt for wanting this execution to take place. He's been here all this time. Some people I talk to say 'Think about his mother and wife and children,'and I understand that and I guess I can feel some sort of pity for them but I didn't do this to them. He did. "

I wonder what his victim's last thoughts/words were?

Michael Rosales, 35, is set for lethal injection this evening.

Attorneys from the Texas Defender Service, a legal group involved in death penalty issues, lost a bid Tuesday in the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to halt the punishment. Their appeal argued, in part, that Rosales was entitled to a qualified lawyer who should have at least six months to draw up a state clemency petition. [Really?]

Michael Lynn Riley, 51, would be the 15th convicted murderer executed this year in the nation's most active death penalty state.
"They're freeing me from this place," Riley told The Associated Press in a recent interview. "I'm in Heaven. I can already feel it. Come May 19th, I'll be free."

Missouri early Wednesday executed a man who killed a good Samaritan who had stopped on the road to help him, ending a nearly four-year period without an execution in the state. Texas, meanwhile, executed its 15th prisoner this year.

Dennis Skillicorn, 49, received an injection at 12:23 a.m. at the prison in Bonne Terre and died 11 minutes later. It was the first execution in Missouri since Marlin Gray was put to death in October 2005.

As part of a lengthy final statement, Skillicorn apologized to the family of the victim, Richard Drummond, saying that "for the last 15 years I've lived with the remorse of my actions."

In Huntsville, Texas, Michael Lynn Riley also apologized as he was executed Tuesday for fatally stabbing a convenience store clerk during a robbery more than two decades ago.

"I know I hurt you very bad," Riley, 51, said to his victim's relatives, including her two daughters and husband. "I want you to know I'm sorry. I hope one day you can move on and, if not, I understand."

Details.
