I promised not to get into political or religious opinions in this blog. So I'm not going to render an opinion on this case. I'll just present the facts and let you decide whether Marco Allen Chapman should be executed for his crimes, in case you haven't read up on the case. This is a gruesome detail, so if you don't want to read further, quit now.
Currently, Kentucky has 37 people on Death Row. These inmates have been on Death Row an average of almost 15 years each! While, you and I, the taxpayers pay for their upkeep.
Marco Allen Chapman was convicted of murder, 2 counts; attempted murder, 2 counts, rape I; burglary I, robbery I and PFO ( Persistant Felony Offender) II. He was formally sentenced to death on 12-14-2004. In the early morning of August 23, 2002, Marco Chapman murdered a 7-year old girl and a 6-year old boy in their home in Warsaw, Kentucky (Galletin County). Both the children's throats had been slit and they had multiple lacerations and stab wounds on their bodies. Their 10-year old sister played dead after being stabbed several times. The children's mother's hands were bound with duct tape and she was tied to a bed frame. She was raped and stabbed in the chest with a knife that broke off in her chest. She was later stabbed with a larger knife and left for dead. After stabbing the victims, Chapman burglarized the home and left the scene. He was arrested later the same day by state police in West Virginia.
Marco Chapman wants to pay for this crime. He resisted all appeals and wants the sentence to be carried out. The execution is scheduled for early tomorrow morning.
