Poor woman and poor family nothing will take the pain away.

Charlotte, same here. I read somewhere the automatic appeal processes required on behalf of all death row inmates in Florida costs the Florida taxpayer well over $1 Million on average per inmate. Cheaper to just put them in prison for life without possibility of parole and let them finance their own legal appeals.

Wait, wait, wait….he was previously convicted 10 days ago….why was he even walking the streets is my first question. My next question is why do we give the murders a last meal? Susan didn’t get a last meal…..SMH

Couldn’t be happier that justice was finally served! 25 years is far too long.

And the coward let out a “blood curdling scream” before he died…GOOD!

I was a UWF student when Susan was murdered. A horrible crime and a horrible justice system that causes a 25-year wait. I’m glad that he screamed before he died (reported elsewhere). That means he was scared of death, the death that he knew that he deserved. The electric chair was still the execution method in Florida until 1999, so that is what this guy should have received.

The system we have is insane. The penalty is NOT a deterrent for this chosen behavior. Tired of it. Things will only get worse though. Whining liberals want to ban guns yet look how well banning drugs has worked.

Justice and peace for Susan Morris and her family. Still, I will go to my own grave knowing Timothy Hurst should not be on death row. Too much was wrong with his “fair trial” and many people know this.

Mike, some people who place the Commandment “Thou Shall Not Kill” above trash may not be “bleeding heart liberals.” People are diverse; not everyone can be fit into one label. Just sayin’…

That is a great verse, David. From the time these guys commit their wicked acts they can take it to the Lord and repent. But no repentance means no eternal life. And life is about choices. And Charlotte–we should not house these people for all these years. Far too many are in prison who can never live among men peacefully and ought to be sent on their way to meet their Maker.
