Why are all these cold-blooded murderers always christians?

From TFA: Bishop later told the judge: "I want you to sentence me to death."

"Mr. Bishop, I'm gonna grant your wish," said Lee County Circuit Judge Frank Russell.

"Thank you," Bishop replied.


Goddamned liberal activist soft-on-crime judges. I would have told him to rot in a cell for the rest of his life.

Governor Commutes Sentence Of Jackson County Murderer
Posted: July 18, 2008 05:09 PM
JACKSON COUNTY (WLOX) -- Is 19 years in prison sufficient punishment for killing another human being? Apparently, at least in one case, Governor Barbour thinks so. The governor has decided to commute the sentence of Michael David Graham.

Graham was convicted 19 years ago of killing his ex wife, Adrienne Graham. She was at a red light in downtown Pascagoula on April 7th, 1989, when her ex-husband pulled up in his car, grabbed his 12 gauge shotgun, and shot his wife to death.

Sheriff Mike Byrd said he was stunned when he learned of Graham's release.

"I could not believe it. I don't care how rehabilitated he might be, he deserves to stay in jail," the sheriff told WLOX News.

Also angry about the release is William Purchis, the brother-in-law of Adrienne Graham.

"He had been stalking her for three years," Purchis said. "I was very angry, but not surprised that he killed my sister in law."

Gautier Mayor Pete Pope was sheriff at the time of the Graham killing.

"This was a slap in the face to the criminal justice system. He should not be released," Pope said.

Graham actually has served as a trusty at the governor's mansion for the past eight years. The governor's office released this statement about the release.

"Historically, governors have reviewed cases like that of Michael Graham, whose conduct as a prisoner earned him the right to work as a trusty at the Governor's mansion, where he has performed well and proven to be a diligent workman. The Governor is giving him a chance through an indefinite suspension of his sentence to start a new life away from Pascagoula and Jackson County, pending his future good behavior. He will continue to be under the supervision of the Mississippi Department of Corrections throughout the period of his suspension of sentence, as though he was on parole."

Graham is not allowed to return to Jackson County. Sheriff Byrd said if Graham does come back, he will be arrested and sent back to jail.

FTA:Bishop later told the judge: "I want you to sentence me to death."
"I feel very sorry for what happened, but I also want to live for my sons," Bishop said in an affidavit in June. "They mean everything to me."


Well you can't have it both ways. A sudden epiphany eight years too late.

/should have used a ball-peen hammer...it wouldn't have gotten stuck in his throat
//flog your bishop one last time

bersl2: "Anyone asking for it (martyrdom notwithstanding) is probably able to be and worth being rehabilitated."

Rehabilitation?!? Who cares about rehabilitation. How about a little thing called "justice".

The essence of justice is restitution and restoration, and in the case of murder when that's not possible, the death penalty is just, proper and good.

Somewhat strange case. If I'm reading it right:

Guys A and B think that guy C needs a good cockpunch.
Guy A pins down guy C and tells guy B to hit him.
Guy B beats guy C to death with a hammer.

Guy A gets the death penalty, guy B gets prison.

WTF? I wonder if you would feel all koombiyah if your brother's or son's name was at the front of this sentence...

...was hit with a 28 oz. claw hammer 23 times before the tool lodged in his throat.

www.daviddarling.info

The main problem with this case is that there aren't two people on death row. I sure don't want to pay to keep this wild animal (sorry, animals) worthless piece of shiite alive for very many more days. I can't believe we still house and 3-square all the Manson scum after almost 40 years. Wouldn't we all have been better off if they had all made a warm sizzling & popping sound decades ago? Or are you still hoping he too can be rehabilitated and merrily serve his community?
