#1 Hmmm, no photo of the scumbag oxygen thief and no use of middle name.

#2 "At his trial, Mahdi’s lawyers noted that he was the second son of a woman wed at age 16 in an arranged marriage."

That part was obvious.

#3 Nobody in the SC squad shoots blanks to assuage their feelings either. If they're pulling the trigger they want to know if they're on target.

Mikal Mahdi was sentenced to die 20 years ago for the ambush killing of an off-duty police officer.

This constantly abused process, that takes 20+++ Years for justice, needs to be streamline, but with failsafe checkpoints.

There is no valid reason that appeals and court hearings should keep happening a few months before each next scheduled execution date.

5 years should be more than enought.

#5 5 days should be enough- have an appeals court follow the trial ( they’ll be involved anyway) , and if they sign off on the verdict and sentence, it’s time to be looking at menus for the last meal.
