It's crazy that you brought up "it's a fact" earlier, yet you apparently don't know the facts of this case....

His attorneys have been fighting his execution, not his conviction.

"It’s a major twist after more than a year of debate surrounding Menzies’ mental decline. Menzies was sentenced to death in 1988 for the murder of Maurine Hunsaker, but his attorneys have argued that his dementia has progressed, making him ineligible to be executed. "

 

His due process was over on Oct 18, 2023 when he exhausted every appeal possible.  

So, for the last 2 years attorneys have been fighting his execution, not his conviction.  They should have executed him on Oct 19, 2023.

 

And you do not understand the laws that are  being contested here.

Oh yeah... You must be right... You know more about this case than I do, as a retired lawyer living in Utah.

If mentally fit in 1986 I can't see the problem. He's had 40 years of life which he denied to his poor victim.

Locked up, though.

Would you join the military, fight for your country, kill others?  Or, in your world are all soldiers "monsters?"

'Fraid so. The Yanks in Vietnam, the IDF in Palestine, Russians and North Koreans in Ukraine are all stone-cold murderers. Depriving families of their loved ones for no reason except money and political gain.

 

"Fighting for my country"? Nationalism, what a bunch of hogwash! I'll fight when the pols who make the laws and send young men to their deaths go first.

 

BTW, I was the last man arrested for the Vietnam draft.

 

There's a reason even modern executioners wear masks to conceal their identities even today. It's for remorse, killing for profit. Shame for their work. Extra pay for blood money. There's reason executioners are shunned and must live out of town.

 

There's probably a job opening in Saudi or Iran you can apply for. Steady work.
