Richard Wade Cooey scheduled to die thursday

[4xchampncountin]

Richard Wade Cooey is scheduled to die by lethal injection. Sentenced to die by the State of Ohio for the 1986 robbery, rape, and murder of two sorority sisters. In 1986, Cooey and a friend Clint Dickens got drunk, smoked some pot and then things got really ugly. They stopped on a freeway overpass to urinate over the edge as cars past below. The got the idea to start throwing rocks at cars who passed under them. Dickens grabbed a 35 pound piece of concrete and threw it at the windshield of the ladies brand new 1986 Pontiac Fiero. The women had no idea they had been targeted and stopped to assess the damage. These two guys and a third friend who bailed when it got crazy stopped by to offer help. The women accepted a ride. They took them to a pay phone so they could call their parents and then decided to have some fun with them first. They robbed them. They raped them for 90 minutes or so and finally beat them to death with a billy club Cooey kept in his car. These idiots then tried selling off the jewelry they had taken off the women ans bragged to several friends of what they had done. When Cooey was arrested he had one of the victims sport watch on his wrist.

Dickens pleaded "no contest" and was sentences to 2 life term because he was 17 years old at the time. Cooey was sentenced to die, but it has taken 17 freaking years for it to finally happen! The victims families deserve much swifter justice that to have to go through 17 years of appeals to have any closure. The parents of one of the girls have chosen not to witness the execution. The other girls family has chosen to view it and has even accepted the seats the other family chose not to use. If it was my family member, I am quite sure I would want to see him die with my own eyes.

If a case is cut and dry. It shouldn't take no stinking 17 years for the victems family to get justic. We had a case here in TN. Where a man raped and murdered a 8 year old girl. It to 20 long years to finely get him.

Cooey says he knows he has no moral argument to live, but he has only had legal straws to grasp at to try to save his life. He also says he did everything they accused him of except the murder. He says Dickens did the killing. Only those two know for sure, but it is a matter of semantics. They both should be beaten to death with a billy club as far as I'm concerned.

Wouldn't the ACLU have a field day with that?

Aw hell yeah, but then everybody who has a problem with it should be beaten to death.

Well now, that is a little extreme, don't ya think?

But seriously, I believe people who murder should die in the same manner as their victims. But, that opens up a whole other pandora's box about the State doing things like that. Maybe they could sub-contract stuff like that to the Mafia or something

Yeah, just kidding, but it makes me angry to think it took 17 years and no telling how much of the taxpayers money to keep this trash housed and fed for that long. If he was found guilty he should have died that night. That I am not kidding about.

I am with you 100% on that. In effect, I have been paying for his meals, clothing, education, legal expenses, etc out of my taxes for the last 17 years. Now that is enough to pi$$ off the Pope

exactly, and they don't care as long as their rights aren't violated.

A rapist should have a lot more than his rights "violated"

As far as I'm concerned a murderer and a rapist has no rights.

This is getting unbelieveable. His lawyers got a stay of execution for his new lawyer to review the case. His old lawyers had been removed from the case by the judge who was dissatisfied with their unprofessional actions. The family of one of the victims was dressed for the execution when they got a last minute call saying they had been screwed again by the system. They sat in a nearby hotel room all day waiting to be told that it was back on, but to no avail. It now has to be rescheduled as the death warrant expired on midnight Thursday. This is really sad that they are doing this to this family. Haven't they suffered enough?

That sucks.
