>On 07/21/97, McCarthy entered the residence of a 70-year old white female in Lancaster with the intent to rob the victim. A struggle took place and victim was stabbed numerous times resulting in her death. McCarthy then used the victim's credit cards and used the victim's vehicle for transportation.

>Last Statement:

>"I just wanted to say thanks to all who have supported me over the years: Reverend Campbell, for my spiritual guidance; Aaron, the father of Darrian, my son; and Maurie, my attorney. Thank you everybody. This is not a loss, this is a win. You know where I am going. I am going home to be with Jesus. Keep the faith. I love ya'll. Thank you, Chaplain."

Think you need to read a bit more of the Bible, love. Even if Jesus is real I doubt he wants to kick it with you.

Yeah, it was interesting reading these last statements where they proclaim their innocence, etc, and then looking up the detail of the cases. I know there are cases where people on Death Row have been wrongfully put to death, but there were also instances where I was pretty convinced of the inmate's guilt.
