UPDATE: He’s dead. His final words: “Warden, pull the trigger.”
Next on the schedule in Texas (via Michael Graczyk):
Moody was the first of four Texas prisoners set to die over the next two weeks and among at least 10 scheduled for execution in the next several months.
Christopher Coleman, 37, is scheduled for lethal injection Tuesday for a December 1995 shooting spree that left three people dead in Houston. Two days later, Kenneth Mosley, 51, is set to die for fatally shooting a police officer, Michael Moore, during a bank robbery in the Dallas suburb of Garland in 1997.
Stephen Moody: Next on the Execution Schedule in Texas
Stephen Lindsey Moody is a career criminal who has spent more time in prison than out of it.
Unfortunately, the revolving door of Texas’ justice system meant that he was out on parole (again) on the night of October 19, 1991 when he and an an accomplice (Calvin Doby) murdered 28-year old Joseph Hall in Houston.
Moody and Doby followed Hall home, forced their way inside and demanded money and drugs. While Hall, who is crippled, begged for his life, Moody shot him in the chest at close range with a sawed-off shotgun.
Career Criminal
In 1981, Moody was paroled after serving just 3 years of an 8 year sentence for burglary. Less than a year later he was convicted of auto theft and sentenced to 6 years in prison. He was paroled after serving only 3 years of that sentence. A short five months later, he was imprisoned again for another burglary charge, and sentenced to 14 years this time.
Guess what happened 3 years into that 14 year sentence? That’s right — paroled again.
And it was only 3 years later that Moody finally killed somebody during one of his robbing sprees.
Had our justice system done its job and kept this danger to society behind bars where he belonged, he still would have been in prison the night he murdered Joseph Hall.
Well, on Wednesday night, September 16, 2009 just after 6:00 p.m., Stephen Moody will be released from prison for one last time. But fortunately for the rest of society, this time it will be in a body bag.
It sounds like the only way he should be coming out of prison this time. Hopefully it will go as scheduled.
Joseph Hall was a drugs dealer.
And you know this how?
And, regardless of what Mr. Hall was or was not, now does this in any way exonerate Moody from shooting him in the chest with a shotgun from point blank range?
Stephen Moody is my uncle and yes he may have done some awful things and as I say about a lot of people behind bars our justice system is fucked up anyway we have innocent people behind bars too so there is room for mistakes and no one was there on the night of the crime we only go on what we are told bout our fucked up justice system and people that want to see other people killed for crimes they may or may not have done. Who are u or anyone to judge anyone only GOD can judge and has the last say of what happens to your soul and I am glad he is in a better place instead of here in hell….
He may have done some awful things? There is no may about it. He was a life long criminal who finally murdered a man. The only fucked up thing is you and your uncle. Your uncle is in hell, you fool.
he should be given an award for getting trash off the street that sell drugs to our kids in the 1st place and then given his punishment
It won’t be long before we read that you are on death row, too, sicko.
PLEASE DON’T BE SO QICK TO JUDGE PEOPLE AND PLEASE DON’T TRY TO MAKE FACTS OUT OF OPINIONS!
RESPECT!
Oh, look! A scumpal. You idiot. These are facts from the trial. He broke into that man’s house and blew him away. Respect, my ass. None for him and none for you. Go get psych help.
Thanks’ you are soooo RIGHT..Miss Hall
Erica, surely to God you are not trying to defend this man. He had a criminal record long before this murder took place. I will show RESPECT…for the victim’s family but none for the sack of sh*t that took his life.
THANK gOD FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU!
Dont talk about god when you call for someone to be killed.
Thank God Texas executed this POS.
I’m the mother of Joseph Hall who was murdered and taken from me because of this monster…. you have no idea what happened ….
If you are Mr. Hall’s mother, you have my deepest sympathy. You will have to ignore some of the posts because there is no reason for you to feel more pain than you already have. Stephen has killed more than your son but there wasn’t enough evidence to convict him. He actually killed my husbands sister. Hopefully he is already on fire for his deeds on earth
I’m So sorry to hear that! He was a Monster… I could see it in his EYES that he had killed someone before my Son… Thank you!
That was described at Moody’s trial.
and no this does not exonerate what Moody did.
I don’t think bringing somebody to death is the right way.
Maybe we should have sent him to live with you.
THE BIBLE READS A EYE FOR A EYE…. THY should NOT KILL…..
I’m personally against capital punishment, even if I think the person deserves it…. I don’t think we should lower ourselves to the point where we ourselves are murderers. A civilised society must learn to live with the idea that he who seeks revenge digs two graves
That’s not to say I don’t think this man deserves death. I just feel we should not be the ones to deal it to him.
Judging from the way you spelled “civilized”, I’m assuming that you live in a country that does not have a death penalty statute.
That is fine with me. If the majority of people in your country don’t want the death penalty, well, it’s your country-do what you think is best.
But over on this side of the pond, the majority of Americans, and certainly the majority of Texans, believe that we should have a death penalty.
You may agree or disagree with our laws as you see fit, but remember that it’s our country, and we get to decide what the law is.
Yes, the way the whole world spells CIVILISED.
But then it’s hardly surprising the US can’t spell the word properly.
Because as long as you kill, you’re not civilised.
End of story.

Re/Colin
I Totally agree with your sentiments-And hope This Evil Scumbag Suffers.
The Reason why The Uk Abolished the Death Pen was because Innocent people were proven to have been executed.
It The last 2 weeks, I have put posts up, Sent emails to the Host,Offering to submit evidence That clearly shows, A judicial system that is Farcical, Racist Jurys etc, And As recent as 2004 An Innocent Man proven to have been Innocent being executed.
Gov Perry Is Due to make an Annoucment in the comming weeks over that case.
The Host and His SideKicks, If they cannot redicule,Belittle, Inspect your Grammar, Rather than allow me to post the factual evidence.
It Is very apparent from previous posts, That although the vast Majority of Texans Support the Death Pen-They are choosing to be Ignorant of facts,And As long As Somone gets executed for the crime, Or spends 20 yrs on Death Row but then gets proved Innocent, Is proof the system works.
I am not Anti Death Pen, Far from It,But If You Texans believe In the Death Pen so much, Allow me to post what Iv asked for many times.
Trust me 5years at the very latest Taxas will have abolished the Death Pen.
You are right Its your Country, Allow me to post, And act on the proven flaws.
Or are You happy That Texas has executed as late as 2004 a family Man who was proved to be Innocent.
I will bet any Texan on these posts, Anything they wish that If you remain Ignorant-You will have an abolished Death Pen.
So Host, Are you going to allow me to post, Without Ammending, Or refusing the post.
Or As on Many previous Times, Unless your Grammer Is perfect, That far more Important to comment on Than Facts Isint It?
You want no Death Pen, Carry On being Ignorant.
Well said, Paul.
Any country that murders its own is ignorant.
Your death penalty puts you on the same level as countries like China and Pakistan.
No civilised country kills their own.
Killing is ALWAYS wrong.
“Well said”?
Are you kidding?
Or are you, too, ignorant?
You’re killin’ me……………..
Only cowards kill, Wayne.
Cowardly people and cowardly nations.
And I’m no coward.
Badly said, nige.
All murder is killing, but not all killing is murder.
Only dieing and decaying countries don’t have capital punishment.
All executions supported by the will of the people is ALWAYS right.
canada doesn’t have capital punishment but i would not say canada is dying and decaying…
also, are executions supported by the will of the people still right if the person happens to be innocent? i don’t think it’s fair to say that it is ALWAYS right, as you stated.
Give an example that an innocent person has been executed.
Were the citizens of Canada given the chance to voice their will about capital punishment, or was it just decided for them?
Hi Tweety,
No use speaking to these people.
They just don’t know better.
Now that’s funny right there.
It would appear the fountain of all knowledge and truth has been displeased.
No2Liberals, I believe it was voted on in Canada a long time ago before I could vote. I hope every time it comes up in the legislature that they will put it to another vote because there are a few people in our prisons that definitely should have been put to death.
Since Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan have the death penalty, I assume they are the rising stars?
How pathetically cute.
Polls have shown the majority of citizens in the U.K. are in favor of its return, as are the citizens of Mexico. One of the sleepy little island protectorates of Great Britain in the Caribbean have already reinstated it.
Unlike you, there are serious people still about, who believe in justice, instead of the wussification of the world.
Canada doesn’t have the death penalty and Canada lets murderers walk away with less time then thiefs or jaywalkers. We just had a young murderer kill a 14 year old girl and because he committed the murder 4 days before his 18th birthday he will most likely be out of jail by the time he is 27 years old. Unbelievable. Canada needs the death penalty.
If I ever need to bookmark “Dumb American Assholes” I now know where to look.
The only Western democracy in the world that kills its own.
You people are so red-necked ignorant it’s scary. Thank god you live a long way away.
Yes, No2liberals, all killing IS murder.
Although, I can’t believe I’m responding to someone who thinks you spell dying “dieing”.
Poor fool.
I do hope you and you ilk find bliss in your ignorance.
Sure nigel, only an idiot would take what I said out of context.
While I may have misspelled dying, I certainly never misspelled your.
/dipshit
Sigh.
“Dipshit”.
What on earth does that mean?
Or is your mouth stuffed with pork scratchings?
More fuckwit limeys around here. Kind of ballsy, considering 90% of the world’s problems are thanks to them — India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, South Africa, Somalia, etc.
Limeys? Hahahahahahaha
You’re not even in the right hemisphere, champ!
No wonder you guys are always getting your asses kicked by natives armed with sticks and stones.
No Sam, he is another Kiwi, where the price of lamb has gone up to $2.95 an hour.
Ah the Kiwis, who disarmed themselves, figuring either big brothers Australia or the US would bail their asses out.
How’d that work for them at Gallopoli?
You seem to have a difficulty understanding the difference in meaning between murder and legal execution.
Murder is the unlawful premeditated killing of a human being by a human being. Or what Stephen Moody did to Joseph Hall.
As capital punishment is LEGAL in Texas, it is, by definition not murder, as it is the LEGAL killing of a human.
That your simple mind cannot understand the difference is not too surprising.
Only a murderer groupie would be dumb enough to attempt to equate the US justice system with that of Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan. I have no doubt these types of arguments and analogies work with antis, because, frankly, you are not the sharpest tools in the shed. However, don’t waste our time here with such nonsense.
And why do you twits always deliberately omit Japan from the list of countries that have the death penalty? What? Doesn’t fit into your dishonest arguments? Thought so!
You’re arguing semantics (look it up in the dictionary).
Killing is always wrong.
What are you yanks sooooo scared of???!
Gun-ownership your second amendment. Good grief!
Again, what are you so scared of?
You’ve always been the world’s nancy boys.
Even your sports require weapons and protection.
A nation of fat-bellied ignorance.
One, it is not semantics. It’s your stupid argument. You can’t even get that right. Two, no, killing is not always wrong, numbnuts. Three, the only nancy boys of the world are the sheepfuckers from down under with fairy names like nige.
Screw you I think anyone who commits any crime should be put to death..
Does anyone know where to find a picture of the murder victim, Joseph F. Hall?
He was a great man, and a great father of two children….he looked like John travoIlta … We never deserved this to happen to our family! This man tried to kill A women in a bank who was carrying a child…..He needs to meet his maker…
A guy named Joe Hall was a friend of my brother back in the late 70′s, early 80′s, in the Alief area. The age range at that time is about right, too. Your ‘Travolta’ comparison makes me think it may have been him, because the one thing I’ll never forget is his smile. It was as big as Texas.
That’s the reason I inquired about the picture, because my brother and I have always wondered if it was him.
In a few days, you’ll find the facts of the case and the execution, including a photo of the victim posted here:
http://www.clarkprosecutor.org/html/death/usexecute.htm
Yes, that was JOE,,,, He lived there for a while, then moved to the FM.1960 area! I will ask his son to post a picture….Yes he had a great smile..Both of my sons look like there daddy…
Wayne-I agree with you Totally That If the sentence Is Death, And the person Is Guilty,Then their can be no Arguments.
All I have said Is-That Their Is Factual evidence In abundance,And even In 2004, A Man was Executed Who was proven to be Innocent.
Flawed System,Biased Jurys, Wrongful Convictions.
So Wayne-You appear as the Host Does And that Of His Side Kicks, That In the process Of The Death pen being carried out, Its proven So are Innocent.
Also proven In Abundance, That Many have spent years on Death row, Or Indeed serving Life, Only to be released years later.
It happens because the system allows It to, Guilty being granted stay after stay, normally within hours of Execution, Why? Because the system allows It, Innocent behind bars, or sentenced to Death because the system allows.
I am not Ignorant As you say I am, I have offered Time and time again in the last few weeks, To be allowed to post this evidence, without It being Ammended, I am still waiting to be allowed.
As In my previous post, I will bet any Texan, You remain Ignorant to the truth, you Will not have a Death Pen In 5 years at the latest.
You want to show a pic of the victim wayne? I dont need a picture, This evil Scumbag deserves what Is comming to him.
As Robbie states on this Site- “The Truth Hurts”, He Is so right.
So If you are such proud Texans, Why When the latest Innocent Victim was Executed, Did you not act In the same way As when an execution Is carried out on the Guilty-Because You dont care, So allow me to post Robbie, And act accordingly-Does not matter does It that an odd Innocent person pays The price, As long as the Guilty get what they deserve.
And I am The Ignorant one Am I?
Who was executed in Texas that has since been exonerated and proven to be innocent?
Thank you, Darla Hall & children
Cameron Todd Willingham.
The Investigator for the Texas Forensic Commission, Have reported the following Statment.
We Are Going to report That the Fire for That he was Executed for was not Arson, He was Executed In 2004, And Maintained His Innocence from his arrest. We Have forwarded are findings to the TFSC, And as a result, We can confirm the state Of Texas has Executed an Innocent Man-Given that the TFSC have come to the same opinion as ourselfs, We expect Texas to halt Executions In light of this news.
Texans Need to except the Unspeakable has occured.
Excerpt:
In a withering critique, a nationally known fire scientist has told a state commission on forensics that Texas fire investigators had no basis to rule a deadly house fire was an arson — a finding that led to the murder conviction and execution of Cameron Todd Willingham.
The finding comes in the first state-sanctioned review of an execution in Texas, home to the country’s busiest death chamber. If the commission reaches the same conclusion, it could lead to the first-ever declaration by an official state body that an inmate was wrongly executed.
Indeed, the report concludes there was no evidence to determine that the December 1991 fire was even set, and it leaves open the possibility the blaze that killed three children was an accident and there was no crime at all — the same findings found in a Chicago Tribune investigation of the case published in December 2004.
Willingham, the father of those children, was executed in February 2004. He protested his innocence to the end.
The Tribune obtained a copy of the review by Craig Beyler, of Hughes Associates Inc., which was conducted for the Texas Forensic Science Commission, created to investigate allegations of forensic error and misconduct. The re-examination of the Willingham case comes as many forensic disciplines face scrutiny for playing a role in wrongful convictions that have been exposed by DNA and other scientific advances.
Among Beyler’s key findings: that investigators failed to examine all of the electrical outlets and appliances in the Willinghams’ house in the small Texas town of Corsicana, did not consider other potential causes for the fire, came to conclusions that contradicted witnesses at the scene, and wrongly concluded Willingham’s injuries could not have been caused as he said they were.
The state fire marshal on the case, Beyler concluded in his report, had “limited understanding” of fire science. The fire marshal “seems to be wholly without any realistic understanding of fires and how fire injuries are created,” he wrote.
The marshal’s findings, he added, “are nothing more than a collection of personal beliefs that have nothing to do with science-based fire investigation. ”
Over the past five years, the Willingham case has been reviewed by nine of the nation’s top fire scientists — first for the Tribune, then for the Innocence Project, and now for the commission. All concluded that the original investigators relied on outdated theories and folklore to justify the determination of arson.
Hope This helps Robbie-Do U want me to post the other Info I have.
Yawn. You act like no one has heard of the false allegations that Willingham is innocent before. However, he was not innocent. So, get rid of your boner.
Two days before Christmas in 1991, Willingham poured a combustible liquid on the floor throughout his home and intentionally set the house on fire, resulting in the death of his three children. According to autopsy reports, Amber, age two, and twins Karmon and Kameron, age 1, died of acute carbon monoxide poisoning as a result of smoke inhalation. Neighbors of Willingham testified that as the house began smoldering, Willingham was “crouched down” in the front yard, and despite the neighbors’ pleas, refused to go into the house in any attempt to rescue the children. An expert witness for the State testified that the floors, front threshold, and front concrete porch were burned, which only occurs when an accelerant has been used to purposely burn these areas. The witness further testified that this igniting of the floors and thresholds is typically employed to impede firemen in their rescue attempts. The testimony at trial demonstrates that Willingham neither showed remorse for his actions nor grieved the loss of his three children. Willingham’s neighbors testified that when the fire “blew out” the windows, Willingham “hollered about his car” and ran to move it away from the fire to avoid its being damaged. A fire fighter also testified that Willingham was upset that his dart board was burned. Willingham told authorities that the fire started while he and the children were asleep. An investigation revealed that it was intentionally set with a flammable liquid. His claims of heroic effort to save the girls were not borne out by his unscathed escape with little smoke in his lungs.
Guilty. Judged by his peers. Appealed and affirmed.
He has not been exonerated by the State of Texas. It is merely being reviewed.
This state will never repeal the death penalty. Never.
Lol Sam, And Mr I got a split personality.
Sorry to disappoint you blood thisty 2–So you to are right are you, So The TFC have made it up have they-Do you think they are actully that dam stupid to make such recomendations.
How come I can assure you that an Announcment from Govenor Perry is being arranged And expected Soon.
Iv Lost count of the ammount of American News Papers I have read It In.
You have proved yet again-You dont give a crap.
And as for Sam, I dont want u to get rid of the Death pen, Just when the odd Miscarriage happens do somthing about It, Let The Guilty be executed.
Il bet you anything you want sam-Carry on having the same Ignorance of whats actully going on, And you wont have a Death pen.
I personally hope you keep it
I see that “the mother” of Hall has made a comment. If so, my condolences to you and the rest of your family. I know he had two young sons and they have a lot of heart mending to do now that Stephen is gone. I know that he had feelings to express to the two young men today and hope that those words will help in their healing.
As far as the case. Many of you think, assume, whatever it may be, that you know the “real” story.
It is known, and accepted, that Stephen and “his accomplice” were there to rob a known drug dealer. Drug dealers are monster’s! They put drugs into the hands of parents of children and even in the hands of children. They supply a lifetime of pain to everyone they encounter and then those that they have never seen before. Take a single mother of two; she goes out on a binge of drinking, meets up with some guys that just happen to know where they can continue to have a good time. (are you thinking? yep, a drug dealer!) So the mother gets strung out on coke, crack, dust, herione, whatever it is that you would like to imagine.
Then she get’s popped for paraphinalia, does 12 months in state jail. (you and I, the working citizens, are able to afford this heavily secured housing for her) During which time, the state has taken custody of the children, again at mine and your expense. Or, the childrens are putinto the hands of family member(s), say an aunt with two children. I like this option, let’s consider it. To this point the “monster” drug dealer has directly effected the lives of the mother, two children, an aunt and her two children…oh, and few million tax payers.
So, while you think Stephen is a “monster” while you think one shouldn’t take the life a known killer, think about all of the variables, think about all of the situations.
Two men, on drugs, go in to rob a known drug dealer.
A chick is taking a sh!t, is unharmed and left alone, told to keep quiet.
An accomplice is approached by the drug dealer and his gun taken away, the one on death row approaches the rather large drug dealer and the accomplice in the scuffle, fears for his life and admittingly shoots and kills the drug dealer. He never denied it! Only denied that he was there for the purpose of killing Mr. Hall, drug dealer, at home selling drugs because he got hurt at work, NOT CRIPPLED!
I don’t have a dog in this fight. It is just amazing how some of you folks enjoy spreading your “words of wisdom” on here and on other site’s trying to be righteous Columbo’s. (he turned 84 today)
Let the damn thing rest along with Mr. Hall and Mr. Moody.
To the Phony Pro Who Is Too Stupid To Know How Stupid He Is:
First, nobody is buying your fake condolences for the family of the victim when you go on to show the family absolutely no respect.
Second, no one is falling for your schtick that only you know the facts of this case or are street wise. In fact, you come across as rather dumb.
And last, no one is interested in your pro-drug rants.
“Stephen” is not yet gone so maybe you can get in one last phone sex session with your boyfriend.
You are the one who needs to let it rest, chump.
So dipsh!t, you know the story,huh? Let’s hear it.
If you knew a damn thing at all you would also know that he was executed at 6:15 this morning. Figure it out and get back.
Phony Dumbass Fake Pro:
The story is that you are the one on drugs. Moody was not executed this morning. Here’s a clue: the date and time of the execution are in the story posted. Texas always schedules executions at 6 pm.
Now, beat it you obnoxious dumb troll.
No wonder you Americans are always fighting someone – listen to yourselves. Screeching for the death of another human being.
I wonder what you all (Y’all LOL) think about your combined efforts that killed thousands of Iragi women and children? All blown to death by the indiscriminate use of cruise missiles. Nothing as usual. One guy kills a drug dealer and you all screech “… hang him high”.
Thousands die via your tax payer funded cruise missiles and no concern. Sad sad people you are.
The only screechers are you and your fellow antis, lol.
Amen Digger. Thanks for your comments.
Digger, I can think of no better quote to describe you and your pathetic ilk than this one by John Stuart Mills:
You are one of those miserable creatures. And you know it.
Robbie Cooper – It’s actually John Stuart Mill.
Or were you thinking of Hayley Mills?
You should learn to separate fact from fiction, i.e. hollywood from reality.
And I humbly apologise for besmirching all Americans in my recent post. There are many, many good Americans who are reasonable and decent people.
And Robbie I wont buy into name calling as I think it’s a little juvenile and not conducive to intelligent debate.
Yet, both of your posts contain nothing but insults, hypocrite.
Well, your boyfriend is now in hell. Go join him.
Yeah…I know it’s Mill, not Mills. Simple error. I’ve quoted Mr. Mill extensively on this blog.
I doubt you have earned the distinguished title “digger” from being a member of the Australian military.
Most likely for digging latrines.
So our “cruise” missiles killed thousands? Proof?
All the while, the real tragedy is the grave “diggers” and rape room attendants in Saddam’s regime are now unemployed.
Don’t you care about those who are unemployed?
You have no heart.
So our “cruise” missiles killed thousands? Proof?
You can’t be serious – although you articulate yourself like a moron so I suppose anything is possible?
NO2LIBERALS – Should read read NO2BRAINS.
When do think will be the point that you ever get enough blood that your insatiable thirst for death will be satisfied?
Right wing lunatic.
Don’t throw a tantrum, leftwing whackjob.
Says the moonbat wearing an ass-hat.
When it comes to murdering bastards, I will never tire of seeing justice served.
When it comes to perverted bastards like you, that don’t believe the most horrible crimes deserve the most extreme punishment, I will always grow tired of your weakness and worthlessness.
You are an oxygen thief of the lowest order.
You’re so wright.
Texan people are very scarry folks.
BOO!
OOGAH-BOOGAH!
You worthless wimp.
Hear, hear Digger!
From a Kiwi.
All you government taxpayer paid low level employees: Get off the internet. You are not paid to look up your scumpal boyfriends.
In my country it is evening now
My taxes don’t pay your salary. I don’t give a fk what you do and I have nothing but disdain for what you think.
Why????
Stephen Moody admiited to shooting Joseph Hall in the chest, why a sudden confession “supposed accomplice is innocent ? “
It was not a “sudden confession.” Just a cheap ploy to do a favor for his friend when Moody had nothing left to lose himself.
There was more than enough evidence for a jury to find his codefedandt, Calvin Doby,guilty.
If another is with scum that shoots and kills someone then he is as guilty as the scum that did the shooting.
Status update on Moody:
Still dead.
God bless Texas.
AMEN. Safer world without him and his kind
God: Santa Claus for grown-ups.
Texas: State of all-you-can-eat red necks.
A world without Death penality will be only a dream.
I am French, since 1981 Death Penality is dead…the Dream is present now…
Good bless Texas.
Look the guy killed someone…he deserved what he got…enough said! Now Mr. Hall’s family can move on without anymore stress of this scumbag!
Yes You are Right NO2LIBERALS-Many polls clearly show that Most of the UK Population, Would love the Death Pen again.
But with Safegurds In place-The reason why we stopped the Death Pen was Simply because it was proven Innocent aswell as gulity were Executed.
We have some evil scum In the Uk, who Deserve to be taken out as quickly as possible, And who are rightfully deserving of Execution.
But again Flaws In the Uk System as with ever other system in the world carnt stop the following happening.
Lets just say the Uk still had the Death Pen.
Mr Hodgson would have been Executed, If serving 27years In prison for a crime he did not commit.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/lawandorder/6200366/Teresa-de-Simone-murder-David-Lace-named-as-prime-suspect-after-exhumation.html
Thats why their is no Death Pen In the Uk despite public support for it
In essence, you are saying the will of the people is meaningless, and that the nanny state knows best.
I’m shocked that you find that acceptable.
Our national (and in this instance our state’s) differences are far greater than cultural and a common language. We are a state of independent, self-reliant individuals, and the government works for us. I would rather do everything possible to get it right in the first place, and live with the remote possibility that a mistake could be made. To do nothing because only a little can be done, is not an affirmation of the goodness of a society.
i dont think the uk should have the death pen. im british born and bread. but this country in my eyes has had it due to the corouption of our mps. we have the worst health system in europe. worst public transport in europe. we not being policed either. every street in uk has boy racers and yobos drinking and out of control. where i live in a big town the police station closes at 11pm. you will not see a police officer maybe for 2 weeks thats the truth. when you do it in the afternoon when every1 in work or in school. come 7pm the streets are out of control. i dont think britain should have the death pen coz i think more inocent be put to death than actual guilty people. we a broken society now with no law or order in our towns. dont think our police or goverment could to it right. great britain maybe once but not now.
Re/ Dave
Lol 11pm–Some days are police Station Is not even open-And when It Is The only cover Is those CPOS, With no powers of arrest.
You are so right, Once Great Britan-Iv not been proud to be British for years.
every policy Benefiting the Minority, or the guilty.
Over The last few Years Despite DNA, How many people have been proved to be Innocent-And Thus Its not a case of excepting what the Nanny state says-I for 1 Am A supporter of The Death Pen,But Would not want It, Until A time were Those Basic flaws are sorted out-You look at the likes of Fred west,Ian Huntly etc, So Deserving of Execution.
I have great Admiration for the policing In the Us,Its what happens after that concerns me, That although the vast majority are deserving of meeting their fate on the Execution Table, Or who are Given 30-40 years or life, When Their Is balance of doubt, or even DNA-The thirst for blood Is Immense.
I agree their Is vast difference between being not guilty and being found to be Innocent, And when A question Is posed about a persons Innocence, You split hairs, Play on words or warped Interpretations, He did this and that(WHERE YOU THEIR?).
Why carnt you except, You are no different from every other country In the world-Wrong Imprisionment happens-And on the very rare times it Does In the Us-You dont give a crap.
You complain so much about Hood, playing the system for so many years-And Rightly so, You complain When some deserving Bastard plays The Im a retard card, 2 hours before their Execution-But When 1 slips through the net, Of potential doubt or even Innocence, You do fuck all-And that I cannot Understand.
I personally Hope u keep the Death Pen for those deserving Bastards.

Their are 6 deffinate stays out of the next 8-Infact P A has been busy In the execution chamber these last 2 years, No more Executions are planned-Does that not tell you somthing?.
Steve Moody was my uncle and while I don’t agree with his actions or the path he chose for his life I am not going to judge him for it. He paid the ultimate price for what he did. He accepted responsibilty for his actions and he did say he was sorry for them. He also asked GOD to forgive him. Maybe instead of all of you spending so much time writing all this crap on here you should all go get your Bibles and open them and read. GOD tells us all sins are equal and all we have to do ask HIM for forgivness. He also tells us we are not to judge one another. I do know for a fact that Steve did know GOD and HIS word and he did ask for forgivness and because of that I believe that Steve is in Heaven with my Grandma and we will see him again someday. He was sorry for all the bad things he did in his life and he so wished he had chosen a different path for himself so he could have spent more time with his family. So those of you that say you hope he is burning in hell I can only pray that you can somehow find a way to get the hate out of your hearts.
Brendabt1 you were not even in this family when all this went on. For you to make the statements on here is sad. For your information Steve did not kill Randa. She along with the rest of her sisters were going down the same path as Steve and the rest of their running buddies. This is what DRUGS does to families. Every single avenue of this situation leads back to drugs and it has distroyed many families along the way. Randa was killed because of her choices she made in life and the people she chose to hang with and because of that my cousin Mandy had to grow up without a mother and father. Steve was not the monster you all are trying to portray him as. Yes he was a different person when he was on drugs and did some very bad things and maybe it took him having to sit in jail to get away from that kind of life but he was able to make the best of it in changing his life and finding GOD and getting HIM back into his life. So for those of you that are so quick to be judging Steve why don’t you step back and go take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror before you cast stones at someone else.
Okay, I took a good hard look in the mirror: No I will never ever rob, burglarize or murder, like your scum uncle. For you to come here and claim people are no better than your murdering uncle is bullshit. And don’t act like he deserves a pat on the head because he said he is sorry is ridiculous. He dragged this out for 14 long years. This is not taking responsibility.
I understand what you are saying…however, this man was a repeat offender. He did the crime, he deserved what he got, PERIOD! I too have a relative in prison for life for attempted capital murder…not what he intended to do…it was the DRUGS that made him do what he did. However, he had been in and out of jail and living on the streets. He was clean and sober for ONE year and fell off the wagon. He wanted drug money, couldn’t get it and had a scuffle with someone that almost turned deadly. Neither do I condone what he did or his actions, but it always seems they are sorry and preach the bible when they are locked up. Why couldn’t he preach the bible in the outside world? Why wasn’t he be sorry for stealing from relatives, etc. then? Repeat offenders need to be locked up and suffer for their actions, no matter what!
This topic is dead…literally!
[...] another crime. It doesn’t care if you’re white (ask the cracker formerly known as Stephen Moody…oops, you can’t ask him; he’s dead), rich, or [...]
Nige and “friend.”
All I can say is everyday it hurts! Knowing the truth, someone out there does and they don’t care enough to tell the story. I have my own story and its a sad one. When someone who kills your mom and leaves you, a little girl behind to find her! You never forget that! Don’t think, I don’t remember the night before or everyday after! I’m all grown up now and theres not a day that goes by that I forget! Drugs make us do things, some bad things yes! So don’t say Steve did not kill my mother! I know in my heart the truth! What comes around goes around and thats just what has happen. It will happen to the rest! Steve was my uncle by blood only! The last time I seen him was when my mom died! My Dad lived the same life as Steve, that doesn’t mean I didn’t love him. Your passed will follow you, what comes around goes around like I said before. They both took it to their grave, blood sticks together no matter who it hurts! I have a lot more to say but I rather not. I know how the Hall family feels, my heart goes out to you.
So, what are you saying? That Moody killed your mother with the help and or knowledge of his brother, who was your father?
I’m saying Steve did it and if his brother knew about it. He took it to his grave. My father was Calvin Moody.
