it. there was 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. supposingly they were serious about executing me last year. 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. a deal is a deal. back at kentucky state penitentiary, randy hite 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 i ve done.
