[Blunderov] You know how it is. Browsing leads to more browsing. But
this time it lead to a message from god...
Allen Lee Davis. "Before he was pronounced dead ... the blood from his
mouth had poured onto the collar of his white shirt, and the blood on
his chest had spread to about the size of a dinner plate, even oozing
through the buckle holes on the leather chest strap holding him to the
chair." His execution was the first in Florida's new electric chair,
built especially so it could accommodate a man Davis's size
(approximately 350 pounds). Later, when another Florida death row inmate
challenged the constitutionality of the electric chair, Florida Supreme
Court Justice Leander Shaw commented that "the color photos of Davis
depict a man who -- for all appearances -- was brutally tortured to
death by the citizens of Florida." Justice Shaw also described the
botched executions of Jesse Tafero and Pedro Medina (q.v.), calling the
three executions "barbaric spectacles" and "acts more befitting a
violent murderer than a civilized state." Justice Shaw included pictures
of Davis's dead body in his opinion. The execution was witnessed by a
Florida State Senator, Ginny Brown-Waite, who at first was "shocked" to
see the blood, until she realized that the blood was forming the shape
of a cross and that it was a message from God saying he supported the
execution.
