U.S. Supreme Court Issues Stay Of Execution For Child Killer Schwab

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday halted the execution of convicted child killer Mark Dean Schwab hours before he was scheduled to die.

The move by the high court was widely expected as it considers the appeals of two Kentucky inmates challenging the same lethal toxic three-drug combination used in Florida.

Schwab was sentenced to death for the murder of 11-year-old Junny Rios-Martinez.

In March 1991, the month Schwab was released from prison on a sexual assault sentence, a newspaper published a picture of Junny for winning a kite contest. Schwab gained the confidence of Junny's family, claiming he was with the newspaper and was writing an article on the boy.

On April 18, Schwab called Junny's school and pretended to be Junny's father and asked that the boy meet him after school. Two days later, Schwab called his aunt in Ohio and claimed that someone named Donald had made him kidnap and rape the boy.

2. Why do so many Americans
feel better when accused murderers are put to death? I am sincerely puzzled.

4. More than accused, but convicted murders who kidnap, rape, and kill children

Its brings a little peace to me knowing that some people are no more -- no more chances to breathe deeply, enjoy a nice breakfast of eggs and sausages, or think about how much they enjoyed raping a little boy.

It doesn't puzzle me.

3. Most excellent.
When even the most repugnant are spared, it means that homicide by law is on its way out.

Hope this guy rots in his cell.
