Ohio Limits Condemned Prisoners’ Final Words
OHIO plans to limit the time given over for a condemned prisoner to make his last words known. Michael Beuke, who murdered three people, delayed his lethal injection for 17 minutes by reciting the Catholic rosary. He did not sing Kanye West’s Runaway, repeat Louis Walsh’s blather before removing an X Factor act nor give his views on Kate Middleton and Prince William. Had he done so he may still be alive today…
