On the last day of September, less than a week after the execution of Christopher Vialva, 49-year-old Orlando Hall received a letter inside the Special Confinement Unit at the U.S penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana. “The purpose of this letter is to inform you that a date has been set for the implementation of your death sentence,” Warden T.J. Watson wrote. He would be killed by lethal injection on November 19, 2020. “Soon, I will come to your housing unit to personally discuss with you many of the details surrounding the execution.” Correction*

So white people cannot serve on a jury? I'm sick and tired of these leftists throwing race into everything. A crime is a crime. It doesn't matter on the skin color. A Crime is a crime.

So they would all be ok with this if there had been at least a few blacks on the jury that found him guilty. Got it.

Hardly anything is actually about skin color.

A black man kills a black woman in a particularly heinous way and they are mad because there were no black jury members? I don't want to live in this world any more.

Shall we remind Lilian that it is the lawyers on the case who actually choose the jurors? Her argument is with the murderer’s lawyer, not the jury.
Oh, and BTW, throw out the race cars, Lilian. It no longer works.

I was beginning to think that the article was NEVER going to get around to saying what this animal did to deserve to be put down. Thought I was about to hear the theme from "My Three Sons" playing in the background...

I forced myself to scan to the end of the article because I worked in Corrections admin for 24 years. I won't speak to that part of the article, but to a photo therein of a man holding a sign ''Thou Shall Not Kill.''
Blame the translators of the KJV for substituting the English word ''kill'' for the Hebrew word for MURDER in the 5th Commandment. The Creator wasn't at fault, but the anti-semitic translators in King James' court.

Which black lives matter.?
It's an honest question.
Which life matters.?
That of a woman raped multiple times and murdered in cold blood?
Or that of the brute that raped and murdered her?
To me it's a no brainer.

How is Trump involved? Unless this is a military crime, such matters of commutation occur at the State level. That's the infamous, "the governor called..." Trump could get involved, if the governor has refused to, and if Trump felt there was a severe miscarriage of justice. Otherwise, this has nothing to do with Trump.

No one argues these people are innocent...they're not. They had trials, likely appeals made, and languished in prison for decades. Justice was done for them...not for their victims. Take it with what dignity and courage you can muster, and find peace with your maker.

Perhaps the lawyer among us can point us to the Supreme Court decisions that created the need for a rainbow colored jury in death penalty cases. I suspect it happened during Warren Court days.
And when did the Supreme Court begin to dictate that a murderer's background had to be considered, no matter how ugly the murder.

Convicted under the Clinton crime legislation, on his watch, but his execution was Trump's fault. Oh, the pretzel-twisted logic of race-baiting liberals. I will add that neither president was in the wrong.

No more white folks permitted on juries will be their next call.
Sorry, not impressed even slightly with their stupid "all white jury" nonsense.

The convict looks mostly white anyway, so why not a white jury? Besides, his victim was black, so doesn't this show that whites aren't racist by taking the side of the black victim?
I've always thought that the best way to deal with this Capital Punishment controversy would be to have each citizen put a checkmark on their Driver's Licenses for "Capital Punishment - For / Against" and then, should the person be murdered AND if the jury finds the defendant guilty of murder, the Judge would open an envelope and read out the "checkmark." No one, not even the Judge, would know the victim's desired punishment for his murderer until after the Jury returned their verdict. No one has to feel the slightest twinge of guilt, and leftists could give their murderer life in prison, besides, it would really make a leftist think about their own death by murder and its ramifications.

The snippet of the article featured does nothing to encourage me to read further. I doubt that the victim's family cares what the skin tone of the jury is, only that their loved one got justice. This writer just has to try and make his personal bias against Trump part of the story. So Trump not commuting a vicious murderer's sentence means he is a bloodthirsty and evil man by your standards? I do not think so Lilian. Not by the majority of the nation's standards.

The Zulus are going to riot again soon anyway so he might as well give them a fresh reason. Kamala would have this animal back out on the street in a matter of hours.

#11 - As the article notes: "Hall’s case was one of the first capital cases tried under the 1994 Crime Bill, which dramatically expanded federal death row." He was incarcerated for a Federal crime...

I get it. They want juries to look like TV commercials now.

As always, the victim is not here to respond. What took so long to execute him ?
As a side note, YouGov sent out a survey about prison reform. Another namby pamby PC questionnaire.
If you don't want to do prison time or be executed, don't do the crime.

This is a black on black crime. You have to get half way through the article before you learn he "kept her tied up and repeatedly raped her before taking her to a nature reserve named Byrd Lake Park, hitting her with a shovel, and burying her alive." Justice has been done.
