Convicted child killer put to death by electrocution in TennesseeThe death penalty. The most effective crime deterrent on the planet.
By The Associated Press
Nashville, Tenn. (AP) - A Gulf War veteran from Tennessee who murdered four children with an assault rifle has been executed.
Death row inmate Daryl Holton was pronounced dead at 1:25 a.m. CDT Wednesday.
The 45-year-old Holton had confessed to shooting his three young sons and their half-sister in 1997 in the town of Shelbyville, about 50 miles south of Nashville.
Holton told police he killed the children because his ex-wife had denied him from seeing them. He also said he intended to kill his ex-wife and himself, but instead decided to turn himself in. (link)

This is the kind of "reporting" that frosts me. "Gulf War veteran", "assault rifle" (what's that?) Why not: Former Tri-Cities Newspaper bigshot using a Solingen Steel Butcher Knife? That's extraneous stuff. The news is that the State of Tennessee finally, after 10 long years, executed a slimeball who murdered his kids. Further "news" is that the creep won't kill again. Yuh think he killed innocent people 'cause his sergeant yelled at him?
Excellent points. I went right by that.
