| Subject: Via ANCAPS: States in a race to be No. 1 in death Wed Sep 21, 2011 1:31 am | |
| With time ticking away on the death-watch clock, the state of Georgia on Tuesday steamrolled all reasonable doubt about the guilt of Troy Davis. He’s now cleared to die by lethal injection, an impressive win for the Peach State’s killing machine, which has racked up 51 executions since the United States reinstated the death penalty in 1976.
Davis’s death, scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday, will put Georgia one kill closer to Alabama, which has 53 executions and 206 inmates on death row. One more dead man walking after Davis, and the two Dixie neighbors will be tied at sixth place on the nation’s Top 10 State-Sponsored Killers list.
That’s still a long way from the No. 1 ranked skull-and crossbones-state of Texas (474 killings; 321 on death row) and No. 2 Virginia (109 killings; 11 on death row). But Georgia has shown hellacious determination to score one for the Grim Reaper. And with 103 inmates still on death row, the state is poised to surge into the top five.
America, we’ve got some exciting races to the death house underway, so there ought to be little wonder that Texas Gov. Rick Perry was cheered recently for unabashedly endorsing the liberal administration of the death penalty.
