"Convicted murderer Duane Buck had already eaten a humongous-looking last meal before learning that he was temporarily spared a lethal injection. "
It was a pretty short article; about an inmate who found out that he was temporarily spared a lethal injection after he ate his last dinner. The Supreme Court halted the execution as the 1997 trial was found to be ‘unconstitutionally tainted by improper racial testimony.’ I found the article interesting, especially the inmate’s reaction after he found out that he wouldn’t die: he praised the Lord. He showed his gratitude even it was only a temporary reprieve.
I admired his attitude after he found out after he could live longer, even just for a short while. It is scary to know when you will die while you can do nothing to stop dying. If I was the inmate, I would probably be relieved that I could live longer yet I would definitely cursed the judge for making me live in the same fear again for who knows how long.
