TEXAS PLANS TO EXECUTE:
ANTHONY BARTEE, 55, convicted in the August 1996 robbery murder of a friend,. He was given a stay before his scheduled execution in February so additional DNA testing could be done. When an execution date of May 2 was announced, Bartee attorney David Dow sent the court a letter saying the new date should not have been set because DNA testing hadn’t been done. Dow protested that no notice of a hearing for a new execution date was sent to him or Bartee. Background at www.executionwatch.org > Backpage on Beunka.

Can't wait for him to be dead. Having one less murderous thug out there will make the world a better place.

Are we sure this is really what we want? Shouldn't we make a better use of these people instead of killing them?
This below is my proposal I have just posted on the government website:
