Strange emotions with this piece of news tonight. He was a classmate of mine from K through 12 so I remember him when he was a little blonde haired kid named "Ricky" on the playground with the rest of us. What he did is beyond horrific.
I haven't followed the case so I don't know where they are in terms of appeals or plans for a stay. In Penna. since the death penalty returned only 3 have been executed and all of them basically gave up their legal battle and "volunteered" to be put to death.
