Self-confessed coke head, convicted murder, and lunatic John Hicks will be put to death on Tuesday, November 29th at 10 a.m. He becomes the 18th person to be executed in Ohio since 1999, when that state resumed capital punishment. Hicks will also receive the distinction of being the 999th prisoner to be executed in the US since 1976 according to the DPIC. Hicks was found guilty of murdering his 5 year old step daughter, Brandy Green, and his mother-in-law in, Maxine Armstrong (no relation to Lance) in 1985. He was craving cocaine and needed money so he murdered Armstrong with a clothes line and stole $300. After scoring (and most likely snorting a huge rail), he realized that the 5 year old could pin him to the crime so he went back and truly became Satan incarnate. Wikipedia of all places, provides the gruesome details:
He returned and smothered her with a pillow. When this failed to kill his stepdaughter, he tried to use his own hands, and then duct taped her mouth and nose. …Returning to the body of Brandy Green, he removed her underpants and penetrated her with his finger.
With that said, today is a great day for killing. In fact it’s only supposed to rain in the morning with partial clouds in the afternoon.
