WTOP.com: Man put to death for 1993 killing of ex-girlfriend, Georgia’s first execution in years

JACKSON, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia man convicted of the killing of his former girlfriend three decades ago was put to death Wednesday evening in the state’s first execution in more than four years.


Now dead guy

Willie James Pye, 59, received an injection of the sedative pentobarbital and was pronounced dead at 11:03 p.m. at the state prison in Jackson. He was sentenced to die for his conviction in the November 1993 abduction, rape and shooting death of Alicia Lynn Yarbrough.

Pye was asked by the warden whether he wanted to say any final words, and he indicated no. When asked if he wanted a prayer said for him, he indicated that he would. A member of the clergy then said a brief prayer, asking God to help Pye experience some grace and mercy.

Pye was mostly still as the drugs began to flow. He began exhaling rapid bursts of air about a half-dozen times, causing his cheeks to expand and his lips to quiver each time. Then, he was still. Several minutes later, the warden walked into the death chamber and announced the time of death.
...
Pye’s co-defendant Adams, now 55, pleaded guilty in April 1997 to charges of malice murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, armed robbery, rape and aggravated sodomy. He got five consecutive life prison sentences and remains behind bars.

Yeah. A shorter interval would enhance the deterrence effect.

I'd consider death preferable to three decades on death row, but that's just me.

30 years is just ridiculous. What can it possibly achieve? Making the loved ones of the deceased wait that long is a crime of its own.

Yup, as in the late Willie James Pye.

Justice delayed is justice denied.




I hate offended people. They come in two flavours - huffy and whiny - and it's hard to know which is worst. The huffy ones are self-important, narcissistic authoritarians in love with the sound of their own booming disapproval, while the whiny, sparrowlike ones are so annoying and sickly and ill-equipped for life on Earth you just want to smack them round the head until they stop crying and grow up.

Some of yall can’t help but complain.

The man got what he deserved. That’s all.

Lady at work used to always point out how my cooked broccoli wasn’t as healthy as raw. It’s still fucking broccoli, it don’t morph into a snickers.

Be content.





10 years to retirement! Just waiting!

If dude kidnapped, raped, and murdered your sister, or daughter- and was sentenced to death for it, would You be content waiting 30 years to see it carried out?

Say you won the Mega Millions this week- but the State said you had to wait 30 years to spend it, it it 'still fucking broccoli'?

Yeah it is. Just delayed. Instead of focusing on the delay and complaining, I’d be happy if the eventual outcome.

Of course we’d all like to see the process sped up. But a good thing happened. If it had been Illinois or NY it may not have happened. So let’s just focus on the good part, always focusing on the negative is bad for the blood pressure.
