But Muhammad's ex-wife has said she believes the attacks were a smoke screen for his plan to kill her and regain custody of their three children.

I loved this. All that just so he can kill his ex-wife for custody

Discovery channel had a documentary about this scheduled for 9:00 last night. I went to DVR it and saw that they changed the schedule. Maybe because of the execution.

I'm surprised at how fast he's getting his just desserts. There are lots of people who've been on death row for 20+ years.--->JMS

I think she masterminded it so that she could get out in public and say something completely fucking stupid...like that.

A smoke screen would be 2 or 3 people, then her. You don't go on a 2 state wide, 10 people thick killing spree if you are setting up a smoke screen, this guy just wanted to murder people and gain something from it. Typical terrorist.

I clicked on the article and this came to mind. Tell me denzel washington wouldn't be the best actor if a movie was ever to come about. They look like twins.

I agree with Johnny, this guy was taken down fast. Probably because he wasn't in PA...haha They should do them all quick like that.

He was taken down fast. However, I still like the idea of trying them; convicting them; then carrying the sentence out with in 24 hours. They should have taken him straight from the court room to the execution chamber. And lethal injection was too humane for this case, in my opinion of course.

I would rather see them serve a minimum of 5 years in maximum security/hard labor with a concurrent 5 year limit on appeals.

I like this for three reasons:

1) There are people on death row who are innocent--5 years would give them enough time to bring evidence to correct that situation. There should also be a fast track for re-examining evidence involving capital cases.

2) For the guilty, they will get 5 years of living misery before they are humanely and painlessly put to sleep.

3) Any and all appeals must be presented within 5 years and the sentence would also establish the 5 year maximum security/hard labor incarceration. Some of these people tie up the system with appeals for decades and get special interim incarceration arrangements.

We agree!
Your old man didn't whip your behind a week after you screwed up. Justice should be swift. I think it would be a bigger deterrent. A lot of people ain't afraid to die, but a hell of a lot more would rather not go right now.--->JMS

This guy might've just been an example. However, I do kinda wish his buddy Malvo would've gone too. I'm really amazed at how quickly they put this guy through the system. I was reading about it the other night. It reminded me of everything that was happening around that time, including something that still stands in my mind as highly ironic to this day...

I moved up from Baltimore on Oct. 21 that same year, 2002. That night, we stopped in a rest stop between there and here for a little bit. We all used the restrooms, and grabbed a few snacks to hold us over. We'd done the drive from there to here other times, but that night, we'd decided to hang out at the rest stop a little bit. I remember a couple vehicles there

Fast forward to when they finally caught them, and it was all over the news. It was good news that they finally caught em. So many were breathing a sigh of relief. However, I do recall seeing the rest stop in the news, and hearing about it... And realizing that THAT was the rest stop WE were in! And the vehicle description kinda matched one I saw that night! Heh

You could fast track stuff all you want, but the system is going to choke eventually, it always does... I would say X years from the start of the re-examination.

But in addition to the hard labor they should have to endure what they got convicted for before they die, and their bodies treated similarly after they are dead.

I was trying to be sarcastic about "humanely and painlessly put to sleep". I'm not a big fan of any punishment that doesn't scare the hell out of wannabee criminals.

We need public hangings, electric bleachers and in some cases, death by vivisection.
