Old Guy Executed
.
This guy Clarence Ray Allen (when they print your whole middle name, watch out) kills his son's girlfriend, and then in prison arranges to kill three other witnesses 25 years ago. Life changes to death sentence, but he runs out the clock with appeals. Gets diabetes, gets blind, winds up in a wheel chair. "Hey, I'm too old for youse guys to execute. It'd be cruel an' unusual..." So he exhausts his appeals, and they inject him off to neverland last night.
Supreme Court Justice Breyer agrees with Allen and votes to stay the execution because the dude is too old. Liberal. So, Allen's got THAT goin' for him.

Let me just say that the old-timer's victim never got a chance to get old, did she?

Right on, Wordnerd! Nor the other three victims, too.
Good riddance. Too bad they didn't execute him the day after they sentenced him.
