Pryor sees possible flurry of inmate executions

Running for re-election? Well, time to step up the executions! We now have two, count 'em, two ways to kill -- electrocution and now, for the first time, lethal injection!

The jury in Johnson's trial voted 9-3 for life imprisonment without parole. Circuit Judge Richard Hundley rejected the jury's recommendation and imposed the death penalty. Johnson was found guilty of gunning down Cantrell at Cantrell's home after he and an accomplice posed as customers wanting to do after hours business.


Well, the Supreme Court has said that juries and not judges have to make death penalty decisions. But screw that! This is Alabama, we never pay any attention to the Supreme Court anyway! What, are you going to nationalize the National Guard to keep us from frying this guy?
