Good Riddance

Murderer and rapist Paul Warner Powell was executed today in Virginia, in a well-deserved use of the electric chair. He was convicted way back in 2000 for murdering a sixteen year old girl, and for raping and attempting to murder her fourteen year old sister. There was no question of his guilt. After his first conviction was overturned,

Powell wrote a taunting letter to prosecutors detailing the crime. He was convicted again in 2003.

He should have been executed years ago, but bettter late than never.
