This guy showed all of us what’s wrong with the system. He waited 25 years to pay for what he done but nothing so he decided to do it for us. Definitely a flawed system
Sad, but at least he saved the state some money.
Dave, not sure if his Maker wants him… Capital murder seems he planned it and worked it out
Exodus 21:12
“Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death’”
God decides how and when the death will take place.
Certainly saving some taxpayers’ dollars.
David, 25 yrs on death row? I think maybe not in that big a hurry.
Borden has been in prison 15 years. Why now? Less expense for the taxpayers.
Some get in a hurry to meet their Maker.
