Last Minute Request

David Kolodney

Reuters tells us that the Supreme Court refused last night "to let Missouri execute a death-row inmate contesting lethal injection...turning down Missouri's last-minute request to allow a midnight execution."

That's right, the "last minute request" was from the state. They were irreparably deprived of their last opportunity to kill this man yesterday at midnight.

I know what a "last minute request" is to stay an execution. If you don't get immediate relief, then at one minute after midnight, you are dead.

A "last minute request" to allow an execution? If you don't get immediate relief, then at one minute after midnight, it is such a disappointment.

so, does this come under the heading of "frivolous lawsuits"?

Absolutely. Frivolus and lighthearted! Boys just want to have fun.
