And typically he invoked Jesus at the end. Hey scumbag, Jesus doesn't
want you. The only bad thing surrounding this execution is that it
wasn't carried out 25 years ago.

The state executed condemned cop killer Philip Workman in a West
Nashville prison early today in the third death sentence carried out
in Tennessee in 47 years.

Workman, 53, was pronounced dead at 1:38 a.m. after a lethal cocktail
of drugs was injected into his body as he lay strapped to a prison
gurney at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution.

Does executing a framed drug addict in a speedy manner make it more
moral? What does your made up Jesus say about this? What does your
imaginary muscled AK-47 Jesus say about revenge?

26 years ago, a scared, strung out kid of 25 years--still suffering from
the post-traumatic effects of two tours in Vietnam and a childhood which
could be a model argument for Roe v. Wade--set in motion the events
which resulted in the death of a Memphis police officer.

An exact timeline and sequence of events that night have never been
firmly established; but what is not in question is that in the ensuing
chaos of an armed robbery, one man died.

Last night, the State of Tennessee, with great conviction and deliberate
intent, executed a calm, responsible, spiritual, dignified man, 51 years
of age. That he had the same fingerprints is not in question, but
whether he is the same man who robbed that Wendy's back in 1981 is a
question--one among very, very many--which we should probably ask
ourselves.
