Vernon Madison.

Sheeit nigga howz can u be killin a man who dont even rememba killin dat po po?

Seriously though, just give a gun to one guy at every prison in the country and put him the day the court decides to execute someone. It would be much faster, and I may be just speaking for myself here but I would much rather a cigarette and a bullet in my head than a lethal injection.

Washington Post:

The Supreme Court on Monday unanimously reversed a lower court that had found an Alabama death row inmate ineligible for execution because his declining health had left him unable to remember the murder he had committed.

The justices said that since the Supreme Court has never found that a prisoner is incompetent to be executed because of a failure to remember his crime — as opposed to being able to comprehend the concepts of crime and punishment — the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit had erred in stopping Vernon Madison’s execution.

 

Madison in April 1985 shot Mobile, Ala., police officer Julius Schulte twice in the back of the head after Schulte responded to a domestic call. Efforts to execute Madison, now 67, for the crime have dragged on for decades.

“He has lived nearly half of his life on death row,” Breyer wrote. “During that time, he has suffered severe strokes, which caused vascular dementia and numerous other significant physical and mental problems. He is legally blind. His speech is slurred. He cannot walk independently. He is incontinent. His disability leaves him without a memory of his commission of a capital offense.”

Breyer, who in the past has tried to interest the court in reexamining whether the death penalty can be applied constitutionally, said the average wait on death row for the 21 people who have been executed in 2017 is 19 years.

“Given this trend, we may face ever more instances of state efforts to execute prisoners suffering the diseases and infirmities of old age,” he said. “And we may well have to consider the ways in which lengthy periods of imprisonment between death sentence and execution can deepen the cruelty of the death penalty while at the same time undermining its penological rationale.”
