caught by his handwriting.


In 1992, as authorities searched for the killer of the Rogers family, they put a sample of the suspect’s handwriting on billboards in the Tampa Bay area. Some of Oba Chandler’s neighbors said they recognized the handwriting as his.

The execution began at 4:08 p.m. and Chandler was pronounced at 4:25 p.m., hours after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review Chandler's case. He was 65. He gave no final statement and kept his eyes closed during the execution.

(CNN) -- Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber blocked the execution of a death row inmate on Tuesday and said no more executions will take place in the state as long as he is governor.

He issued a temporary reprieve in the case of Gary Haugen, who was reportedly scheduled to be put to death next month.

"It is time for Oregon to consider a different approach. I refuse to be a part of this compromised and inequitable system any longer; and I will not allow further executions while I am governor," he said in a statement.

Oregon has 37 inmates on death row, some of whom have been there for more than 20 years. Kitzhaber did not commute their sentences, he said, because: "The policy of this state on capital punishment is not mine alone to decide." He urged lawmakers to bring potential reforms before the 2013 legislative session.

Why should taxpayers pay for people in jail? They should get a bill when they get out. Or bring back the chain gangs!

Sheriff Joe in AZ has chain gangs for jail inmates who are eligible.

A federal judge temporarily blocked the execution of a Mississippi inmate who killed two men in a 1995 robbery spree.

The man's attorneys sought the order, not arguing guilt or innocence, but that corrections officials prevented the inmate from getting medical tests that could prove he is mentally ill.
Edwin Hart Turner, 38, had been scheduled to die by injection Wednesday.
turner's face is severely disfigured from a self-inflicted gunshot wound from a suicide attempt when he was 18, in which he put a rifle in his mouth and pulled the trigger, the lawyers said.

requested firing squad

Utah




SPANISH FORK — An execution warrant has been signed and an execution date set for Utah death row inmate Michael Anthony Archuleta.

Fourth District Judge Donald Eyre signed the warrant Wednesday, after determining that the man "has exhausted his right of appeal," according to court records. The date was set for April 5.

"It's not final if he chooses to proceed in federal court," said Tom Brunker, who heads the capital appeals division in the Utah Attorney General's Office. A federal appeals process — which can take many years — has not even begun in Archuleta's case.

Archuleta, 49, has requested to die by firing squad.

He was sentenced to death in connection with the Nov. 22, 1988, murder of Southern Utah University student Gordon Ray Church, 28. Church offered Archuleta and Lance Conway Wood, who were both on parole, a ride after meeting the pair at a gas station.

After driving into a nearby canyon, the two men had Church exit the vehicle on the premise of robbing him, but instead began to severely beat and torture the man before raping him with a tire iron and burying him in a shallow grave.

Wood told his parole officer and led investigators to the body the next day. He was ultimately sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Archuleta's most recent appeal — on the grounds that he had ineffective assistance of counsel in both his trial and subsequent appeals — was rejected by the Utah Supreme Court in November 2011.

Archuleta's mother, Stella, said Wednesday's hearing was "really, really hard." She said her son ruined his life with drugs and alcohol.

STARKE — A man convicted of raping a 29-year-old mother and dragging her into Tampa Bay's surf to drown more than three decades ago is scheduled to be executed today at Florida State Prison.

Twice-convicted murderer Robert Brian Waterhouse is set to die by lethal injection at 6 p.m. He has been on death row for more than 31 years — longer than any inmate previously executed in Florida. Gov. Rick Scott signed his death warrant last month.

Waterhouse, 65, was convicted in 1980 of murdering Deborah Kammerer ofSt. Petersburg, whose body was found in the tidal flats of Tampa Bay. She'd been beaten, raped and dragged into the bay, where she drowned.

Unable to identify her immediately, police turned to the public for help. Neighbors identified Kammerer's body, and an anonymous tipster led police to Waterhouse, who had served eight years in prison for a murder in New York state.

A bartender had seen Kammerer and Waterhouse leave a St. Petersburg bar together. Blood, hair and fibers in Waterhouse's car were linked to the victim. Waterhouse admitted having sex with Kammerer but denied killing her.

her body was found nude the next morning in Lassing Park, on the shore of Tampa Bay — she was raped and violated with a beer bottle, a used tampon shoved down her throat, and how she was struck on the head more than 22 times before being left to drown in the surf.

what a sordid awful slasher-movie tale! AZ.








In 1984, Robert Moormann confessed to smothering his mother while free from prison for a family visit and, standing naked in a hotel room, 'dissecting' her and hacking her body to bloody pieces.

But as his execution Wednesday draws near, the story of one of the most infamous and heinous murders in Arizona history has become even darker and more bizarre.

Moormann's lawyers claim the 63-year-old killer is mentally retarded and has the intellect and emotional capacity of a small child.

Furthermore, they argue, the attack was provoked by years of sexual abuse by his mother Maude Moormann -- even while he was in prison.

Prosecutors say before Robert Moormann dismembered his mother's body, he tied her to the bed in the Blue Mist Motel in Florence, Arizona, and beat her. He then suffocated her with a pillow.

Moormann was free from prison on a 72-hour furlough -- given to inmates some to see family members or for conjugal visits.
He was serving time for kidnapping a neighbor girl, 8, and trying to take her to Las Vegas in 1972. Along the way, he sexually abused her several times in dusty motels along the way.

Prosecutors say he wanted to abduct and rape the girl's mother, but lost his nerve and took the child instead, according to the Arizona Republic.

A jury convicted him of premeditated, unprovoked murder.
But Moormann's lawyers tell another story. They say his mother, the widow of a well-known businessman from Flagstaff, had been sexually abusing him for years -- forcing him to perform sex acts on her.

Maude was actually Moormann's adoptive mother. His biological mother, a 15-year-old hard-drinking prostitute, died in a car crash when she was 17.

They claim it was in the midst of a performing a sex act on his mother, age 72, that Moormann put a pillow over her face to keep her quiet.

Once she was dead, he went about meticulously trying to dispose of her body.

He put her body on the table of the motel and cut it to pieces.

He then carried the pieces to dumpsters around the town and disposed of them.

He was caught when he arrived at a local pizzeria and asked if he could dump 'cow guts' in the trash bin behind the business. The suspicious owner called the police.

He also stripped some of his mother's bones of their flesh and packed them in a box. He gave the box to a prison employee and said they were spoiled meat bones for the prison guard dogs.

The crime-scene photos are ghastly: Maude's head being lifted out of a garbage bag, her feet lying on a table like cobbler's forms, her bones in a bloody box.

All of this, the lawyers said, was the result of Moormann's severely diminished mental capacity.

His psychologists, and even fellow prison inmates, have testified that beneath his gruff voice, bald head and over-sized glasses, Moormann has the mental capacity of a small child and still maintains an infantile affect and demeanor.

Moormann's lawyers also cited his difficult early childhood in their defense of the killing.

His mother gave birth to him June 4, 1948 at the age of 15. His father soon abandoned him. At 17, his mother, an alcoholic and a prostitute, broke her neck in a car crash and died.

Moormann was passed to his grandparents, though he was soon removed to foster car because his grandfather was an uncontrollable alcoholic.

He passed in and out of foster homes before being adopted at age 2 by Henry and Maude Moormann.

Henry was reticent about adopting the child, but Maude's maternal instinct won over and the couple took him in.

The Moormanns were well-known in Flagstaff. Henry ran a taxi service in town.

But early on, family members told the Arizona Daily Sun, they saw trouble in Robert.

He was classified as mentally retarded in school and given special education classes.

When he was 13 he was committed to a state mental hospital after he shot his mother with a .22-caliber rifle.

Moormann claims he was simply taking the gun out to show it to his mother and that it fired accidentally. Family members aren't so sure that was the case.
When Henry Moormann died in 1967, Maude clung to her adopted son.

In 1972 at age 24, Robert Moormann kidnapped an eight-year-old neighbor girl.

Court testimony indicated he might have been more interested in the child's mother -- whom he wanted to rape -- but lost his nerve and snatched the girl from school.

Prosecutors alleged that he sexually abused the child as he carted her off to Las Vegas. However, he was never convicted of that.

Even after Moormann was convicted, Maude, now elderly, visited her son -- taking a bus more than three and a half hours from Flagstaff -- three times.

It was on her third visit that Moormann murdered her in the hotel room where they were staying.

It's a crime that still haunts her relatives -- even 27 years later.

Rex Gilliand, a distant relative of Maude, who knew Robert Moormann briefly, said the convicted murderer was a 'throwaway' child who never got the attention from most of the people in his life that other kids receive.

Maude was the only exception.

'The one person in the whole world who loved him unconditionally, he kills brutally,' Mr Gilliland told the Daily Sun.
