Two-time murderer Warren Lee Hill was executed Tuesday despite pleas that he had the mental capacity of a 12-year-old
Just 30 minutes before his scheduled execution by the State of Georgia, the U.S. Supreme Court turned down Warren Lee Hill’s appeal which argued that he could not be executed because he had the intellectual capacity of a 12-year-old.
The alleged dumb-dumb was executed Tuesday at the state prison in Jackson and pronounced dead at 7:55 p.m.
Hill had been sentenced to death for the August 1990 beating death of fellow Georgia prison inmate Joseph Handspike. At the time Hill was serving a life sentence for the 1985 murder of 18-year-old Myra Wright, his girlfriend at the time.
Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn, the ACLU, the NAACP, the European Union and the usual human rights organizations tried desperately to spare the life of this two-time killer.
The European Union? I thought the EU had plenty of serious problems of its own. What the hell is the EU doing sticking its nose into our business?
As for that alleged dumb-dumb, adios Warren and good riddance!
