Daniel Lee Siebert, 53, was facing the death penalty Thursday for strangling two women and two young boys in 1986. He has been on Alabama's death row for more than 20 years and has terminal pancreatic cancer.

In granting the stay, a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta reversed an order by U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller in Montgomery....http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/ALABAMA_EXECUTION_CANCER?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=US

The asshole didn't care about inflicting any pain on his victims when he murdererd them. Why do murderers have bleeding heart weenies concerned with their lives? They like spitting on the victims who cannot speak for themselves?

Just discontinue his cancer drugs. It's not like he's gonna need em.

I personally don't believe that "cruel and unusual punishment" should apply to death penalty cases, but should apply to all other cases of incarceration. I mean seriously, the person is going to die, why not have a little fun putting the end to his/her totally wasted life?

Earth to Alabama: the DP will KILL the son of a bitch. WTF difference does it make whether he has pain while dying? HE WON'T REMEMBER IT! And IAC it's merciful and humane because it will spare him the pain of dying of cancer.

The lunatics are in charge of the asylum.
