DEATH ROW--death penalty in America

[HairOfTheDog]

He got off easy.

I feel that way about this piece of shit who was executed yesterday.



Eddie Wayne Davis ^ was executed at Florida State Prison by injection at 6:43 p.m.

In 1994, Davis broke into his ex-girlfriend's trailer in the central Florida community of Lakeland seeking beer money, according to court documents. Prosecutors say he found the ex sleeping, and that he woke her 11-year-old Kimberly Waters (pictured, right) and raped her.

After the rape, Davis took the little girl to a nearby Moose Lodge, where he beat her and suffocated her with a piece of plastic before dumping her body in a trash can.

Davis made a last-ditch appeal to have his execution delayed, arguing to the U.S. Supreme Court that he had a health condition that made injection of the drugs incredibly painful, which violated the Eight Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment.
