Ga. man executed, ending 7-month moratorium," Lord have Mercy on his Soul !"
« on: May 06, 2008, 07:51:33 PM »
JACKSON, Ga. - A Georgia man who killed his live-in girlfriend was executed Tuesday, the first inmate put to death since the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of lethal injections. William Earl Lynd was pronounced dead at 7:51 p.m. EDT, Georgia Department of Corrections spokeswoman Mallie McCord told The Associated Press. It came less than an hour after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected efforts to block it.

Lynd, 53, was sentenced to die for kidnapping and shooting his live-in girlfriend, Ginger Moore, three times in the face and head two decades ago. After he buried Moore's body in a shallow grave near a south Georgia farm, authorities said Lynd fled to Ohio, where he shot and killed another woman who had stopped along the side of the road to help him.

Lynd has never denied killing Moore, 26, two days before Christmas in 1988. But his lawyers had sought a last minute reprieve from the courts, arguing that new forensic medical evidence showed he could not have kidnapped her because she was already dead when he stuffed her in the trunk of her car.

You know, I have looked at the criminal system from the bottom, and I have a lot more sympathy for defendants than I did, but this guy.....

^This guy wasn't a defendant... He was a convicted felon.

Let's not forget that this scumbag killed another woman he was never tried for. I posted more about his crimes in the other thread.

Good riddance.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Let this be a lesson to us all. Don't kill anyone in Georgia, better to do it in California.
