reconciled with my wife. the reconciliation didn t work. and i hit her. i struck her. she got custody of the children. and pretty much factored me out of the picture. then on november 30th, 1997, holton picked up his four children ranging in age from 4 to 12 to take them christmas shopping. instead he shot each one through the heart. i miss them, but no, i can t say that i feel any remorse. while many death row inmates file numerous appeals to delay their execution, holten dropped all of his. i do think that the death penalty is appropriate in some cases. and i ve got a low tolerance for someone claiming that they didn t do something that they actually did. there was no factual dispute about what happened. there was nothing. it wasn t a question of who did it.
order to complete executions by electrocution. it was originally built somewhere in the 1900s. it s just leather and wood and metal like any other chair, but there s this unmistakable feeling. you know people died there. some of kentucky s death row inmates can choose between the electric chair and lethal injection. that s also the case in the neighboring state of tennessee. when we visited there, we met a death row inmate who soon would face that decision. and as far as daryl holton was concerned, the sooner the better. convicted of four counts of first degree murder. my children. throughout the entire interview, holton spoke in a calm, coherent manner about what led to his nightmarish actions. got out of the army. divorced my wife. had custody of my children.
there s no doubt. i m not going to sell out. i m not going to change my views on the death penalty just because i m facing the death penalty. holton was not only ready to face his death sentence, he had chosen to have it carried out in the electric chair, but to his dismay, he had seen his execution date come and go more than once. supposed they were serious about executing me last year and supposedly they re serious about executing me this year. if the past is any indication, i don t think they re very serious. and that s not bravado. it s more an issue of integrity. a deal s a deal. back at kentucky state penitentiary, randy haight made it clear he s not as eager to face death as holton. but he s ready for it nonetheless. i m extremely sad for what
