Ricardo Ortiz (TX) killed a fellow inmate with a heorin overdose in retalliation.

Around three out of four inmates (I'll have to go back and check each source) on the list were convicted of first degree murder, felony murder, 'murder with malice aforethought' or capital felony along with a slew of lesser murder, manslaughter and sex crimes. They were serving sentences ranging from 15-to-life to LWOP. A few on the list (Landrigan, Knight, Arnold, Langford) committed their prison murders while on death row. Bennie Adams and William Bradley had already been on death row for prior murders when their sentences were reduced to life by the 1972 Furman v Georgia decision. They then reoffended while serving their reduced sentences.

I don't know that you're accurate about Landrigan. He escaped while being held for second degree murder, and assaulted another inmate at that time, going on to kill someone while escaped, but in several sources I found nothing at all about him murdering while on death row.

The other three I'll give you. I knew nothing about them. Interestingly though, the prosecutor who prosecuted numerous inmates for the 1991 riots that Langford is a part of, now advocates the abolition of the DP in Montana. He claims that post-riot, they made many improvements to the security of the prison.

A current member of death row in South Dakota affected many lives by what he did.

This death row inmate stabbed to death a man pleading for his life and then chuckled about it during his confession. The young man was a 22 year old young man who had his whole life ahead of him. He obviously wasn't lazy but was hard-working and just happened to come to work, while the place he worked at was being robbed. So no one could say he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Who knows what he might be today? The murderer is still on death row while the victim's family still waits to see if he'll even be executed. Because of this murderer's actions the doughnut shop eventually closed down because no one wanted to go in there anymore because of what happened. So he ruined the life of the business person who had given a job to a young person willing to work. I'm sure the owner, even though he wasn't related will live with the fact that someone was murdered in a business he owned and will probably always feel somehow responsible, even though it wasn't the owner's fault.

Now this current death row inmate isn't only trying to get off death row but he is trying to get his whole sentence overturned.
If anyone is vengeful it is this murderer and those who defend him.

Just think some people out there thinks this guy should be rehabilitated and put back in society.
-----------

I'll note you begin in 1965 (unless there was any others listed prior to the first on your list). 1965 - 2008 = 43 years, 61 murders = 1.4 per year.

I'll also note that all but three of those in prison murders committed by murderers were committed in DP states (and fed), and discounting the 8 fed, leaving 53, 26 of the remaining (in prison) murders were committed in prisons in states that are the most active DP states.

You can do anything you want to the prison. That will not change the inmates inside of it.

Go back and read the details of Ortiz's case in the scheduled execution pages. Then tell me how improving the prison would have changed the outcome. Finally, you can tell me how many inmates he killed after his execution..

1. I'm not interested in what other people think of California

2. The most severe punishment isn't LWOP but the death penalty. As such it is condign retribution for the act being punished.

3. Your argument boils down to: (a) executions make me feel bad (b) my feelings are more important than those of the collective; therefore (c) capital punishment is wrong

Kentucky:
Alex Bennett: Murdered fellow inmate

Indiana:
Jay R. Thompson(first killed as juvenile): Murdered fellow inmate

More info: Thompson's initial death sentence was overturned because he was 17 at the time he and another man murdered an elderly couple during a home invasion. Thompson received only 4 years for the prison murder. His accomplice Dillon McDonald has since been released.

Texas:
Ramon Matta: Murdered corrections officer# (DPE)

More Info: Matta murdered CO Minnie Houston in 1984 after she rejected his sexual advances. He was already serving 30 years for a double murder. He was sentenced to death but his case dragged on until his death from natural causes in 2000. Houston had prevented the escape of two death row inmates the year before, capturing them at gun point at the prison's outer perimeter.

Joseph Ebron: Murdered fellow inmate* (DPE)

Ok. Hypothetical scenario. A murder takes place and the only evidence found at the scene is the murderer's DNA. There aren't any other clues.

Now the DNA is tested but the person is an identical twin. Only one of them did it.

Now the DNA is only going to put both twins at the scence.

Its the job of the forensic investigators to find other clues to narrow the suspects down. i.e. catching the murderer on camera, a fingerprint, a strong alibi and even a strong motive.

It should also be noted that DNA does not necessarily say that this person 100% did it. It just narrows it down so that it is a very low chance that someone else comitted the crime.

Take Roger Coleman for example. When they had his DNA retested his percentage rate for him to have done it was in the high 90's..I believe it was something like 98.9999 percent not a perfect 100. But it is safe to say that he did it.

Yup....prison murder is a fine reason for the death penalty.

Another (of the many) reason to be pro-dp....is to encourage murderers to confess, to avoid the "wardens cocktail"...

My favorite though is the most undeniable reason of all...

"no executed murder EVER killed again....in, or out of prison!"
