2001: Terrance Anthony James, snitch-killer
1 comment May 22nd, 2011 Headsman
On this date in 2001, Terrance Anthony James suffered lethal injection in Oklahoma for the vicious murder of a suspected jailhouse snitch.
Awaiting trial in 1983 for theft of government property, James became convinced that a fellow-inmate was responsible for his arrest, and proceeded to strangle Mark Allen Berry with a wire.
Usually, in death penalty cases, it’s the jailhouse snitch who does the killing.
