This undated photo provided by the Mississippi Department of Corrections shows David Neal Cox. The Mississippi Supreme Court has set a Nov. 17, 2021, execution date for an inmate who withdrew his appeals. David Neal Cox pleaded guilty in September 2012 to shooting his wife Kim in May 2010 in the town of Shannon, sexually assaulting her daughter in front of her, and watching Kim Cox die as police negotiators and relatives pleaded for her life.
Cain told The Associated Press on Friday that the rehearsals for a lethal injection are usually done once a month at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman, following a protocol that's about 20 pages long.The Mississippi Supreme on Thursday set a Nov. 17 execution date for David Neal Cox, who pleaded guilty in 2012 to killing his wife, Kim, in 2010 in the northern Mississippi town of Shannon. Cox withdrew his appeals and once filed court papers calling himself"worthy of death.
Several states have had trouble finding drugs for lethal injections in recent years since pharmaceutical companies in the United States and Europe began blocking the use of their drugs for executions. Union County Circuit Court Judge Kent Smith ruled in April that Cox, 50, was mentally competent to waive his appeals. The Mississippi Office of Capital Post-Conviction Counsel appealed Smith's ruling. Justices on Thursday affirmed Smith's decision and denied the appeal by the Office of Capital Post-Conviction Counsel.
Of course Mississippi executes people. It’s right on brand.
But Mississippi's governor is against abortion because 'all human life is sacred.'
During rehearsals, who gets to play the person being executed? Once-a-week rehearsal to make sure everything goes ok and no one gets hurt?
Wow, the negative media loves stuff like that
Preparing for people killing people for killing people.
They aren’t pro-life, they’re pro death. I thought they LOVED the constitution? Perhaps they forgot the cruel and unusual punishment part?
