Army sets date for its first execution since 1961
FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. – The Army has set a date for its first execution in nearly 50 years. The military said Thursday that former North Carolina soldier Ronald A. Gray is to be executed Dec. 10 at the federal prison complex in Terre Haute (TEHR'-uh HOHT), Ind. He was convicted of multiple rapes and murders. Army Secretary Pete Geren ordered that the former cook die by lethal injection. President Bush approved the execution in July. Gray is being held at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He was convicted in a spree of four murders and eight rapes in North Carolina in 1986 and '87 while stationed at Fort Bragg. The last military execution was in 1961. Army Pvt. John Bennett was hanged for raping and attempting to kill an 11-year-old Austrian girl. I'm looking to see how many others are sitting on death row in military prisons. All I can say is that it's about damn time. SEMPER FI The Gunny PROUD TO BE AN INFIDEL America is not at war. The Marines are at war, America is at the mall. |

Count it the greatest sin to prefer life to honor, and for the sake of living to lose what makes it worth living. -junival c.50-c.130 |
