Most every day, I'm in favor of the state's death penalty. But once in a great while, I have a little doubt.

I believe mass-murderer and death-row prisoner Paul Reid should never be allowed to have another breath of life.

The convicted killer of seven mostly young fast-food workers has cheated death for nine years.

Living on death-row is no picnic.

How about the bereaved families whose children were gunned down by a manic gunman in Nashville and Clarksville?

Why didn't Reid just take the money and not shoot the unarmed workers?

Why do we have juries to decide the fate of mad-dog killers like Paul Reid?

If they vote for the death penalty, the hours, days, weeks or months that jurors listen to the evidence and decide the fate of a capitol offense defendant seems to mean nothing in Tennessee.

For the umpteenth time since 1999, the verdict by Reid's juries has been put on hold.

Once again, the lethal injection is under attack.

This time it’s the U.S. Supreme Court that has been asked to decide if lethal injection is cruel and inhuman treatment.

If the anti-death penalty advocates lose this case, they will find something else next time to challenge it.

Paul Reid deserves the same treatment he gave his victims.

Why can't he be a man and take his medicine like convicted murderer Darell Holton, who wanted to die for killing his three small sons and step daughter?
