NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - Oscar Smith, scheduled to be executed on Thursday evening, has selected his last meal.
Smith was convicted of murder in the 1989 triple slayings of his estranged wife Judith Lynn Robirds Smith and her two sons from a previous marriage, Chad and Jason Burnett, in Nashville. He was sentenced to death for all three deaths.
Questioning the death penalty because of long delays in carrying out the sentence is like questioning need of the Constitution because it is rarely followed.
I allow there may be some merit in that but it eludes me. I'm for the death penalty and acting swiftly. And for whoever abuses the process such that the wrong person is found guilty, that person(s) shall be put to death. Preferably after a goid lashing and denied medical treatment.
Agree totally. Mass murdering frauds get away with it, melaninites, goatophiles, paedophiles, lawlessness abounds. There are likely many false convictions waiting for the gas or chair or bullets; but in clearly proven cases it must be done. Swiftly would be better. Who knows, we may see a Clinton or a Fauci dangling one day.
A prison guard told me the Last Meal you request comes from the Prison kitchen. One can ask for whatever they want but you get what the prison provides.
From the article: “It’s just not of god to kill anyone and the state doesn’t have that authority to kill someone any more than anyone else is,” Franklin Community Church Senior Pastor Kevin Riggs said.
Methinks the pastor needs to re-read his Bible. State-sponsored execution of criminals has been around for a long long time.
That so-called pastor also erroneously conflates killing with murder.
Funny how whenever the death penalty becomes an issue, always is some confused presumed religious authority dragged out of the woodwork. And always do they say the same rot as this one.
These endless appeals have to stop. Once sentenced, the sentence should be carried out expeditiously after one appeal which reviews the trial record and evidence and should take no more than one year.
Smith has gotten 33 years of life which he deprived his victims of. That's justice?
Too bad they can't execute him three times.
ReplyDeleteThirty-three years' delay, eh? How old were Judith Smith and her two boys when he killed them?
ReplyDeleteIt's considerations of that kind that make me wonder if the death penalty as practiced today is worth maintaining.

You need to check out the story of George Banks.
DeleteI looked him up....that's a case where he should have been executed within the week. Justice delayed is Justice denied.

Has he been waiting the longest, or is he just the whitest.

Pastor my butt. He's a false witness come in the name of Christ. If he truly ever read the Holy Bible he would know the trouble he's in.
