Alabama inmate’s execution stayed to determine if he is competent enough to be put to death

David Lee Roberts, 59, was originally scheduled to be executed on Aug. 21

Does this guy look nuts?? Absolutely, that is all the more reason he should be cancelled.

What does society do to a mad dog??? A mad human is far more dangerous than a mad dog, SOOOO.

Officials are in a quandary as to whether to execute this cold-blooded killer. WHYYYY??

David Lee Roberts, 59, was scheduled to be executed on Aug. 21 for the 1992 shooting death of Annetra Jones, but Marion County Circuit Judge Talmage Lee Carter temporarily stayed the execution until it can be determined if Roberts has a “rational understanding” of what would happen to him.

Does any criminal have a rational understanding of the crime they are committing?? It does not make any difference. If they are capable of committing a crime, they should be held accountable for the punishment attached to it, even if itmeans FRYING THEIR ASS.

The average cost to house an inmate on death row for a year in the U.S. is estimated to be between $60,000 and $70,000. This is significantly more expensive than housing an average inmate, which costs around $37,500 per year. AI Overview

As of January 2025, there are approximately 2,100 people on death row in the United States facing active death sentences. This number represents individuals whose death sentences have not been overturned by the courts.

Looking at the economic side of the coin, it costs the taxpayers of this country 147,000,000.00$$ a year to keep these criminals alive. Many of them are living better in the slams than 1,000’s of USA law-abiding citizens.

It should be the responsiility of the authorities to carry out the sentence these criminals were awarded, or what is the sense of having a trial??
