| Topic | 53 y/o Neo-Nazi Sobbed Uncontrollably as he was Sentenced to Death in Florida... |
| Full Throttle 08/29/17 12:13:15 AM #1: | He sobbed uncontrollably in his last interview as he said he was "ready to die" but would have wanted to live after fighting his execution for 30 years, marking the first time that Florida has executed a white man for the death of a black man. He killed Robert Lee Booker and Hispanic Cross Dresser, Robert McDowell. He was given a last meal of fried pork chops, fried ham, French Friees, Vanilla Swirl Ice Cream and Coke. At 6pm, he was given 3 injections beginning with an anesthetic etomidate which has never been used. He showed no pain during the execution as prior to his execution, he had a 2 hour meeting with his sister, sister in law and brother in law and a second with a spiritual advisor. Mark was also allowed a final shower an hour before the execution as he became the 39th person to be executed in the state of Florida since it was reinstated in 1976. Anti-Death protesters were outside hoping for a last minute reprieve but there was no call..One man, Herman Lindsey, a death row inmate was out there and was exonerated in 2009 spoke of the reason to repeal the death penalty In his last interview, he teared up about the killings and of his newfound religion in Christianity and why he felt he should either go free or be executed. When asked if he had anything ot say, he said "Well, really, just that i'm really sorry and things just got out of control." He said the murder of McDowell was because he was having a meltdown but said he murdered him because he cheated him out of $10. He claimed to have been drunk when he shot him 6 times as he choked up on the murder that night.. He denied being a white supremacist despite him having a tattoo that read "supreme white power". He said "They are not a representative at all of who i am but they are tattoos and they're not easily removed. I have covered them up. I had a swastika on my elbow, i covered that up. I've had african american friends all my life but i've had to live in very hostile environments and i've had to manage the best i could. While it's a poor choice, it's a choice i made and i can't undo it" The defense said that his death penalty was racially motivated even though he only admitted to killing the hispanic man but not robert lee booker even though evidence had him at the scene with the weapon and car. He said the government was acting in "good faith" at the time of the prosecution as he wanted to get his conviction changed to 2nd degree and releaesd on time served. If it wasn't an option, he said he'd rather die as he doesn't want to die in a prison and was at peace with the Lord. His faith in christianity has given him comfort in death Do you think the Death Penalty should be repealed?
