] The federal appeals court in St. Louis ruled yesterday ] that officials in Arkansas can force a prisoner on death ] row to take antipsychotic medication to make him sane ] enough to execute. Without the drugs, the prisoner, ] Charles Laverne Singleton, could not be put to death ] under a United States Supreme Court decision that ] prohibits the execution of the insane. ] ] Yesterday's 6-to-5 decision is the first by a federal ] appeals court to allow such an execution. I'm really looking forward to the day that this country looks back on our dark days of executing people, and cries. This is so wrong. |
