Man in Dragging Death Seeks Execution Date

[Freddie Stubbs]

BEAUMONT, Texas - One of the two white men condemned for the notorious 1998 dragging death of a black man from Jasper is asking for an execution date.

In a letter dated April 2, Lawrence Russell Brewer wrote to State District Judge Monte Lawlis, the trial judge in his case, and asked a date be scheduled for his lethal injection.

"I think it's about time that we bypass all these childish games and make the necessary arrangements for an execution date Sir," Brewer wrote.

He said his request wasn't because of "so-called guilt on my behalf, but rather the inactions of the counsel I've had thus far."

1. I like it.

It would be better if he realized he was wrong, and that he showed some remorse, but I wouldn't wait for it. Still, he knows he violated the law, his sentence will be death, and he is accepting his fate. No whining, no "I'm an abused child", just "let's do this and be done". Gotta like that.
