JUSTICE FOR MURDER VICTIMS FAMILIES SHOULD COME FIRST. CARRY OUT  THE DEATH SENTENCES THAT WERE HANDED DOWN BY JURIES.

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Where's the justice folks?. A person or persons are murdered and the killers sit on death row for decades.   Finally, Arizona executed the oldest inmate on its death row.Nearly 35 YEARS after this scum bag was charged he  finally met his maker.

Edward Harold Schad Jr., 71, was sentenced to death for killing Lorimer Grove, whose body was discovered on August 9, 1978 in  weeds and underbrush beneath a  freeway near Prescott, Arizona. A cord was still wrapped around her neck when the body was discovered.

Texas just executed a man for killing his parents in Lubbock 15 YEARS ago. At least Texas carries out the death penalty sooner than most states. They didn't wait 25 or 35 years to send the murder to his just due.

The other day Florida finally executed a man for a 1986 killing. It had been more than 27 YEARS since William Happ strangled  Angie Crowley and 24 YEARS since he was sentenced to die

In his final words, Happ said:  "To my agonizing shame, I MUST CONFESS TO THE CRIME. I wish to offer my most sincere apology. " Can you imagine? This guy did the crime, was found guilty by a jury and had the  death sentence pronounced. But he  lived on and on, and on appealing his conviction and the lousy justice system played his games. Only on his way to Hell did he CONFESS . I really don't think this murders apology does a lot for the Crowley family. These dirt bags that commit murder and then years later try to apologize rings hollow. The 21 year old murder victim, Angie Crowley had just moved to Florida only five months before  her slaughter.

Also, lets look at the "Sweethearts" murder case, as it came to be known. It happend in Davis, California . The brutal murder of the two 18 year old love bird kids occurred in 1980. The killer, Hershfield  put duct tape over the young man and girls eyes and face. He sexually assaulted the young girl and slit  both of the  kids throats from ear to ear. Folks, it's been 32 YEARS since this low life was sentenced to death. Yet, he still sits on death row while his appeals go on thanks to our fouled up judicial system. We the taxpayer, including the victims families are feeding this animal and  allowing him to enjoy life at our expense.

Whats my point?

I have always maintained there should be swift  justice to those than roam this earth killing other people. Our judicial system here in America is so dysfunctional and screwed up that justice is delayed while the courts and attorneys play their childish games of appeals, dragging the case on for years. The system  bends over backwards for the murderers.That is a given. They grant the  killers every break they can while ignoring the victims families. I  submit that there should be NO court case that should take 25, 30, 35 years in order to have the sentence of death carried out.

I suggest that if a jury does sentence a person to death - - that was their will and intent after hearing all of the evidence in the case. Folks, that is what juries are for. The courts should actually listen to the juries and follow their decision. However, the courts and attorneys refuse to carry out the sentences in a timely manner. If there is an appeal, it should be heard and done within a matter of a few months at the longest. To be fair, the courts could give the  killer two shots at an appeal. The second appeal could be limited to  three months. After that, - - no more appeals. A date should be set and the execution carried out.

 Hell, other countries  that execute killers carry out the sentence in a matter of DAYS or WEEKS on the outside.Sometime there are instances where the  killer is taken outside the same day the sentence is handed down and executed. That people is true justice. The case is heard, the jury speaks, the death sentence is pronounced by the judge and the execution date is set and carried out.

We truly need swift, fast justice when it comes to those who are found guilty of the crime and sentenced to death by a jury The victims families deserve to know and be able to see that justice has been done. As it stands now the victims families often times die before justice reins. That's wrong!

You can bet that if these killers knew that they were going to be put to death shortly after they are sentenced to die the idiots would think twice before killing someone. But as it stands now the killers know that they can sit on death row while being feed, clothed, offered entertainment and other perks for decades at the taxpayers expense and knowing they will probably not be executed. While sitting on death row the murderers laugh at the court system knowing that the games the judges, courts and attorneys play with their case will allow them to enjoy life for years to come.

I would like to suggest that any death sentence be carried out within one year after sentencing, PERIOD. I see a year to make  one or two appeals very fair. After that, DEATH. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
