"Allen's attorneys have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene, arguing that executing a feeble old man amounts to cruel and unusual punishment."
The state has had to feed, shelter, and maintain the health of this bastard for 30 years! The cruelty has been to the surviving families of his victims.
If any reform of the system is needed, it's to expedite sentences in these cases. Give inmates access to all of the resources they need to appeal... for a limited time. If they can't prove their case........
