He's dead

CNN: Death at 9:11pm. No complications. Chemicals injected at 9:06pm. No last statement or acknowledgment. He was quiet and relaxed, said nothing at all. Totally emotionless being put on the gurney.

Time of death called at 9:11 pm. (9/11 for a terrorist) No last words.

Kind of a profound statement in itself.

Well isn't that timing appropriate!!

One less evil creature in the world.

Defiant to the end......

One less evil creature in the world.

My hubby just said "that's one less terrorist in the world".

Brother of one of the victims (Linda Franklin) is talking to LKL about his sister's son just returning from a tour in Iraq and he'll never see his mother again. No sympathy for Muhammad's children. He also can't see why it took 7 yrs. for execution and believes Malvo should've been executed also.

Some witnesses to the execution talking outside the prison to the media now.

He also said this wasn't "closure" for him.

I was surprised at the "taking 7 years statement". If he did this in CA, the man would have died of old age!

Man who witnessed execution and speaking to media now just mentioned the irony of the TOD being 9:11pm and it was also noted by others there. 27 total witnesses. Another one speaking now.

So true ~ I commented on that last night that at least it didn't take 20+ yrs.

Good riddance!

LK saying Muhammad will be buried in Louisiana. Family has already made arrangements. (Another thing the victims didn't have the opportunity to do ~ MOO)

Trial attorney did not believe in his innocence. He thought there were mental health issues.

Govr Kaine is opposed to the DP, but did not intervene.

I heard a Moose rerun stating "your children are not safe". I remember looking out for white vans, being afraid at the gas station and all that, but the true fear we felt at that time did not set in again until I heard that. The fear was all fresh again.

We were afraid.

We weren't even the victims.

I feel sick.

From: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-11-10-sniper_N.htm

"A prison spokesman says John Allen Muhammad died by injection at 9:11 p.m. Tuesday at Greensville Correctional Center. Prison spokesman Larry Traylor says Muhammad had no final words. He says he didn't hear him utter a word the entire time."

"Traylor says Muhammad requested a final meal, but the contents of it were not disclosed."

"Sheldon argued that Muhammad should not be executed because he suffered from severe mental illness. Sheldon has contended that evidence of that illness was not presented at trial."

------------------------
As far as the contents of that final meal - I don't care. I would have told him to "eat **it and die". This man was not mentally ill, he was evil. I feel horrible for the open wounds that the families of the many victims are having to deal with tonight, and for his family as well. I pray for healing and future happiness in the lives of all involved.

I too think he may have had some issues, but I also believe he knew right and wrong and what he was doing was wrong. He also groomed teenager Malvo into being his accomplice and killing some of the victims. And that was definitely wrong. MOO

 

[mysterygirl]

Yeah......I think most killers have mental issues....

A concept that has been abused and overused for those with non BS mental issues.
