Killer Executed for 1983 Murder - and the US Supreme Court Decides that Lethal Injection IS NOT Cruel and Unusual Punishment
The MSM is so liberal that they love to report on those few times when an innocent person is freed from death row, or when DNA is used to try to prove innocence, or when some scumbag liberal lawyer tries a new tact to end capital punishment.
Earlier this year, a killer on California's death row was spared, at least for the time being, because his lawyer claimed that lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment. A court in California agreed, and the lowlife murderer of a young girl was given a reprieve.
However, the execution of a man this week in North Carolina portends bad news for the liberal idjits who believe that their "lethal injection is cruel" argument has any chance of winning:
North Carolina Man Executed for '83 Murder
And the Supreme Court allowed the execution to go forward as scheduled.
If the "lethal injection is cruel" argument had any chance, this lowlife's execution would have been blocked. But it was not. The Supreme Court basically said that that argument was crap.
And, of course, the MSM found no reason to tell you that, because it doesn't fit in with their "some guy is innocent on death row" mentality.

North Carolina Man Executed for '83 Murder
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- A man convicted of killing a woman during a convenience store robbery in 1983 was executed by injection early Friday.
Willie Brown Jr., 61, was pronounced dead at 2:11 a.m., said Keith Acree, a spokesman for the state Department of Correction.
Gov. Mike Easley rejected Brown's clemency request Thursday and the U.S. Supreme Court and a three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., also ruled against him.
Brown was sentenced to death for the slaying of Vallerie Ann Roberson Dixon. He received an additional 40-year sentence for armed robbery.
Brown's attorneys argued the death penalty is unnecessarily cruel because he might remain conscious and suffer pain while being put to death by injection.
And the Supreme Court allowed the execution to go forward as scheduled.
