The only thing to do with a rabid dog is put it down
UPDATE (4-24-12) — The Texas attorney general’s office is appealing and asking the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to remove the stay of execution.
UPDATE II (4-25-12) — Well that didn’t last long. The The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has lifted the reprieve. I guess Bunky and Linda are going to have to cancel their honeymoon plans after all.
Also, since the execution is a Go again, I’m closing the comments to this post. You can continue the conversation over at the Execution Watch thread for Bunky.

Damn. I was almost finished writing the Execution Watch post for Beunka Adams when I read on the Houston Chronicle that a judge has granted him a reprieve today:
A 29-year-old convict set to die this week for a fatal shooting during the robbery and abductions at an East Texas convenience store has won a reprieve from a federal judge.
Beunka Adams was set for lethal injection Thursday evening in Huntsville for the September 2002 slaying of 37-year-old Kenneth Vandever outside Rusk. Vandever and two women were abducted during the robbery, one of the women was raped, and all three were shot. The women survived.
Lawyers for Adams convinced U.S. District Judge Michael Schneider in Texarkana, Texas, that the execution should be delayed until the courts review allegations that Adams had poor legal help in the early stages of his appeals.
It’s unclear if the Texas Attorney General’s office would or could appeal Monday’s ruling.
Linda Jay-Wiltshire (R): Death Row Groupie and Mentally Ill Woman
Well, the good news is that the post won’t go to waste, as I’m sure this is just another speed bump before the inevitable date with a gurney. And I guess it gives him and his new wife-to-be (Linda Jay-Wiltshire) a few extra days to enjoy their sickness.
Which makes me wonder: Is the Texas Tribune’s anti-death penalty activist Brandi Grissom a maid of honor in the Adams-Wiltshire wedding?
So it looks like the next on the schedule will be Anthony Bartee, who is still scheduled for execution on May 2.
Question to some of my much more knowledgeable commenters: What next? Is there still a chance that the Attorney General’s appeal would be granted before Thursday’s planned execution? How much time does this buy Adams?

Maybe not. Here’s what the court order says:
Title 28 U.S.C.§ 2244 (b)(3)(B) provides that before a second or successive application
permitted by section 2244 is filed in the district court, the applicant shall move in the appropriate
court of appeals for an order authorizing the district court to consider the application. Adams
contends that his new application is not a “second or successive” petition, because the legal basis he
seeks to use to avoid the procedural default which caused this court to refuse to review his claims in
his initial application for a writ of habeas corpus was not available until the Supreme Court decided
Martinez. Whether Adams’s current application is a second or successive petition as those terms are
defined in 28 U.S.C.§ 2244 is a close case, and in light of that statute the most efficient and
economical approach to answering that question is to allow the United States Court of Appeals for
the Fifth Circuit to make the initial determination. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1631, this case is transferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
It doesn’t sound like that particular motion bought any time, if anything they punted. Adams may still have his date with the executioner after all (he still shows up on the TDCJ Scheduled Executions list). So Robbie may want to keep his Execution Watch post on file.
It looks like the judge in the USDC just sent it up to the 5th Circuit who could issue a stay or deny it before 4/26.
Linda is not an attractive woman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNFgS2DIs2g
Why would it matter if Linda was an attractive woman or not?
Why would it matter to you that her unattractiveness is pointed out?
Because, the type of woman who seeks out the affection and attention from the most heinous of raping and murdering men on death row proves how utterly ugly they are on the inside of their black as tar souls. It’s no coincidence when they turn out to be just as ugly on the outside.
I cannot imagine the incredible lack of self-worth and self-esteem that possess these women. that makes them believe that the only men they are deserving of are these rabid animals. Have they been so badly hurt by men in their past that they feel the only “safe” relationship they’re capable of is one with a man they know cannot ever really hurt them? A relationship where they hold all the power, instead of the man? Where “ending it” is as simple as never writing another letter and simply going on with their lives while their “ex” rots in a cell thousands of miles away?
I don’t understand why someone would want to marry a death row inmate either. But then, if they’re willing to pay for his funeral, that’s money we the taxpayers don’t have to spend.
One of her friends Renate Mari has a DR pet too, Derrick Morgan in Joliet, IL. Her facebook photos are full of puppies and farmville. Can you say lonely?
The pics of her photoshopped with him and the puppies are hilarious…
An old fugly German woman with a ghetto thug….aww. How special.
GROSS!
Illinois abolished the death penalty so her pet is now a lifer, getting three squares a day on the taxpayer dime.
OH yes, that’s right. Just saw that checking out the page further.
Makes me ill but it’s like watching a train wreck. Hard to look away…
So a violent murderer gets LWOP. Then what happens if he murders in prison?
Solitary for life? Waste of space and crappy food…
OMG I am dying laughing. Have you seen her Valentine pic of her and Derrick on Facebook!?!?!?! I can’t post a pic on here but seriously worth taking a look! Hahhahahahahhaha!
OH my yes girl!!! LMFAO!!!
And the Happy New Year one with all the puppies! Bwahahahahaha!!!!
If he ever DID get out and she flew him to Germany, he’d kick those puppies and say, “Get me a turkey pot pie bitch!”
hahahahahaha!!!!
Sounds like a keeper:
Petitioner Derrick Morgan was convicted in Cook County, Illinois, of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. The evidence at trial amply proved that petitioner was hired to kill a narcotics dealer apparently competing with the El Rukns, one of Chicago’s violent inner-city gangs. For $4,000, petitioner lured the dealer, who was a friend, into an abandoned apartment and shot him in the head six times.
Hahaha I’m still laughing about that damn picture. She needs the death penalty for her lack of photoshop skills.
I’m going to add her as a friend just so I can comment on her pics.
LOL!!! Yea, the Chihuahua holding the champagne really adds class to the new years horror pic.hahaha
She looks so busted next to that OG…I bet he’s laughing every time he buys his cupcakes with her money…what a dumbass!
“It? tastes like…burning.”
Unattractive and without dance talent. CGI characters can dance better.
ROFL..LOVE IT!
Has the 5th Circuit ruled on the petition?
Something tells me this may end up being like Hernandez (the last case), where the 5th Circuit ruled with only a few hours to spare (against Hernandez) and the USSC declined to review.
The Texas attorney general’s office is appealing and asking the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to remove the stay of execution.
They better hurry. The USDC could not send the file electronically and instead shipped it today. I assume it will arrive late today or tomorrow. And of course, whatever the 5th does will be appealed to the USSC.
Still good on time, though, to make a Thursday 6PM execution date (and if necessary they can wait a while so long as the deed is done by midnight).
Most likely the new paperwork comes tomorrow (and Adams case has probably been up and down the legal chain so the 5th Circuit probably has a lot of the old paperwork already). These cases tend to jump the line and so I expect a ruling probably tomorrow or Thursday. If his argument is based on Martinez (similar to Hernandez’ claims) probably we’ll see a denial and as the USSC rarely grants cert, Adams’ days on earth appear to be ending soon.
LET ME START OFF WITH; IF ANY LAW ABIDING PERSON HAD SAID ANYTHING LIKE HAS BEEN SAID (ADVOCATED) ABOUT GEORGE ZIMMERMANN’S RELEASE, HE WOULD CERTAINLY BE ARRESTED, BUT NOT THE HONORABLE AFRICAN AMERICANS THAT ENJOY A SPECIAL PLATEAU IN THE EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL PLANTATION OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN THEY ARE SO OPPRESSED AND PUT DOWN IN THIS COUNTRY AND THEIR BIGGEST CHEERLEADER IS THE EFFFFFING PRESIDENT.DO WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR POLITICIANS BECAUSE THEY SHIT ON OUR CONSTITUTION???
I THINK SO!!!
IT USED TO SAID……KILL THE LAWYERS ………………………………….NOW IT SHOULD BE ,
KILL THE MEMBERS OF THE MSM…..THEY VIOLATE THEIR CHARTER,..
A FREE PRESS IS PROTECTED SO THEY CAN CONFRONT, CHALLENGE AND QUESTION WITHOUT REPRISAL ANY EXERTION OF THE GOVERNMENT AGAINST ITS PEOPLE , BUT THE AMERICAN PRESS, ELECTRONIC AND PRINT ARE IN THE POCKET OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WHO PERSONIFY THE WORST ATTACK ON THE ONLY TRULY FREE REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY LEFT IN THE WORLD. AMERICA IS THE LAST BEACON OF HOPE TO THE ENTIRE WORLD AND OUR PRESIDENT, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WANTS TO HAND IT OVER TO THE WORST OF THE WORST INHUMAN CRIMINALS TO ARISE IN THE LAST HALF CENTURY…RADICAL ISLAM . THEY ARE ANIMALISTIC SAVAGES THAT WANT NOTHING BUT TO KILL EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH THEM INCLUDING ALL WOMEN AND ALL HOMOSEXUALS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD DO AMERICA???
America should get rid of some stupid idiots who post on here. Send them to Arab countries to get lost. They might get their tongues cut off for some of this filth they are spreading here if they were to live there There are so many rotten dumb people posting crap on here. There are many religions and if you don’t agree with them all, just respect them as you want yours to be respected.Respect all parties even if they are not your party. But you don’t even know how to respect the President.
And at the same time it is none of your business if any person in the free world choses to correspond with and befriend any inmates in US prisons, no matter what their sentence is. So, to assume they are sick and cannot find any other men in the free world and also assume that every person in a US prison is even guilty of what he was charged with or is and will always be a bad person period is just crazy. To be with a person with such a hateful and spiteful mind like some of this posters that would seem worse than being friends with some inmates who have far better manners than some of this people posting here.
So don’t assume that your ideas are the right ones. There is a world outside of the USA and there are different religions and different views on many things. So go and educate yourselves before you just talk BS.
Germany, eh?
/phffft

These groupies are on record (see PrisonTalk) as wanting to be his romantic interest–and they don’t deny it one bit. One is flying over as we speak (if not already here) to have a proxy marriage with this sickening POS. That’s far more than just wanting to “befriend” someone.
QUOTE: There is a world outside of the USA
Adams committed his crime within the USA, specifically within the GREAT STATE OF TEXAS! I (and a majority of the regulars on this board) are NOT INTERESTED in giving these POS three square meals a day while being a threat to their guards and fellow inmates (unlike Norway, where the POS that killed over 70 kids faces a MAXIMUM 21 YEARS for ALL 70 murders–not 21 per murder, 21 TOTAL). Those who willingly and in cold blood take another’s life are a THREAT TO SOCIETY and need to be treated just as they treated their victims (though with lethal injection they’ll get it easier).
I made the above post, Robbie and several others know I’m regular here–forgot that I changed computers and when I do I have to add my name,
Fixed it for ya’.
Thanks no2!
Anything new on the case?
true
Sorry, no sympathy for idiots that fall in love…cough…gag..with rapists/murderers. Her posting that crap for the world to see proves she just wants attention and she is screaming to be made fun of with those stupid pics…greatest laugh I had all day!! LOL..
Well said Cora! I do not know the full story on the relationship between Beunka and Linda nor do I want to know. But I can say for sure Linda is NOT mentally ill at all! And is a lovely person who has strong opinions and personality and a half!
I am not keen on the fact she is involved with someone on death row either but that is because I am going by my stereotypical views of someone in prison. My main concern is if Linda is happy she is an independent adult doing as she chooses and lives her life as she wishes. If that is with Beunka for what ever time they have then good luck to them. It does not mean that I condone his actions that got him on death row at all. But nothing will change what he did/not do, as I said my concern is only Linda’s happiness!
But I can say for sure Linda is NOT mentally ill at all! And is a lovely person who has strong opinions and personality and a half!
She is indeed mentally ill. She suffers from a personality disorder called Hybristophilia. She’s also morally bankrupt.
If that is with Beunka for what ever time they have then good luck to them.
Hopefully, “for what ever time they have” will be less than 36 hours.
Less then 36 hours is probably true. If that’s what she wants to do its completely her decision. You choose your beliefs and life paths. Let others choose their own without judgement. She has not hurt anyone, you don’t even know her so how dare you make judgement as to her mental state, and chosen life style! I bet you wouldn’t want your life choices to be on public display and critised as harshly as she has had hers. Let em be and if/when he dies then it’s done and over with. Only you will move your judgement and hatred to the next easy target!
Let em be and if/when he dies then it’s done and over with.
She’ll have a new Death Row pen-pal within weeks. The good thing about dating death row inmates, is you always know where and when you’ll be able to find another one.
SHE put them on public display.
What kind of sick fuck loves a thug who is a rapist and murderer?
Disgusting and despicable.
Damn right I will judge her lifestyle and mental status. Maybe if there were more people who judged there would be less crime and bad behavior. This woman is an amoral fuck. And apparently, so are you.
Maybe you should read the Bible. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE ANYONE FOR ANYTHING. YOU ARE NOT GOD. You must have a very pathetic life as well to be sitting on here worried about other peoples lives as much as you do.
Maybe you should read the code of criminal procedure. WE HAVE VERY FUCKING RIGHT TO JUDGE. You do have a pathetic life to troll this forum and encourage losers like this hybristophiliac to marry rapists and murderers on death row. You’re sick. Fuck off.
Excellent advice! You should follow it.
Run along now junior, get a copy and start reading.
And my opinion would still remain the same. Her life her choice! Your lives are your choices.
Her life is a disgusting joke..and yours too to support a repulsive human being like that.
My final word on this page is much love to Linda no matter what she does in her life.
Go fuck yourself and Linda’s actions coddling a rapist/murderer is a slap in the face to every woman that has been victimized by filth like this hopefully dead rotting soon to be corpse.
QUOTE: My final word on this page
Bye.
Hurry up 5th Circuit and turn down this latest “throw jello to the wall and hope it sticks” appeal, so we can rid society of this thug Adams and let his “lover” take his rotting carcass so we the taxpayers of Texas don’t have to pay for his burial.
looks like the needle is headed his way again…..
LOCK AND LOAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m closing the comments to this post since the reprieve has been lifted. Go to the Execution Watch thread to continue the conversation.
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT YOU ALL ARE SO PRO DEATH. GOOD FOR YOU. THE THING IS YOU OBVIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW THAT THE SYSTEM IS FLAWED THERE ARE 4% OF PEOPLE ON DEATH ROW ALONE WHO ARE INNOCENT ONE PERSON IS TOO MANY. AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO SUPPORT KILLING WITHOUT THE LEGAL SYSTEM WORKING PROPERLY THEN YOU CONVICT INNOCENT PEOPLE. AND THEN INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE KILLED.
The legal system works properly: Adams a rapist and murderer is worm food.
Get over it, cupcake!
98% of all undocumented statistics are made up.
bring death row to the uk we need it am sick off keeping scum out off my taxes
