Southern Death Party!

Tennessee is going “balls to the wall” with executions on June 28th. The state has scheduled five executions as they throw down the gauntlet with Texas. Texas, which blows away the competition in yearly executions, has executed two inmates in one night at least three times in the past 10 years. Arkansas has twice executed three inmates on a single day since 1976. But sadly, if all five of the executions are carried out it still will not break the record held by the state of Virginia. On Feb 2, 1951 in Martinsville City, Va., eight men convicted of rape were executed. The state then enjoyed 40 years without rape.

Legal observers, also known as “party bummers,” predict that most of the executions, if not all, will be stayed because of appeals. But that does not mean Tennessee can’t pretend the killing party is going to happen! They’ve got the day planned like a well-oiled machine, says prison system spokesman Dorinda Carter.
We are able to handle all five executions should they occur. They would be scheduled two or three hours apart so that we could move families in and out.

The death watch area, where prisoners are moved three days before their scheduled execution, has four cells, which means two poor bastards have to double up. I call top bunk! Executions typically are scheduled for 1 a.m., but logistics would require these to go late into the morning. Now, let’s meet the soon to be dead!
Sedley Alley, 50, of Millington, convicted of raping and murdering 19-year-old Marine lance corporal Suzanne Marie Collins in 1985 at Orgill Park near the Naval base.

Charles Rice, 51, of Memphis, convicted of raping and murdering his 13-year-old stepdaughter in 2000. Emily Branch was stabbed 16 times when her body was found in a wooded area near Bellevue and Chelsea.

David Ivy, 34, of Memphis, convicted of murdering former girlfriend Lakeisha Thomas, 25, in 2001. He shot her at least five times as she sat in a car at 3502 Millbranch in Whitehaven.

William Glenn Rogers, 44, of Clarksville, convicted of killing 9-year-old Jackie Beard in 1996 after posing as a policeman to gain her trust. Her body was found four months later by hunters in nearby Stewart County.

Paul Dennis Reid, 48, of Nashville for the murders of Baskin-Robbins employees Angela Holmes, 21, and Michelle Mace, 16, in 1997 in Clarksville.

I’ll be crossing my fingers for you guys to get the number two slot in the Guinness Book of Records. Good luck!
