Piper's death row conversion unlikely to change catholic Jackley's compulsion to kill

Catholicism is hope like gonorrhea is charity.

In 2001 Briley Piper pleaded guilty to five crimes including first-degree felony murder in the kidnapping, robbery, torture and killing of 19-year-old Chester Allan Poage near Spearditch, South Dakota. 

Unsurprisingly, catholic Attorney General Marty Jackley says death row cases like Piper's take up too much time in the legal system. High financial burdens led Nebraska lawmakers to repeal capital punishment but voters reinstated the practice.

Bob Gruss is Jackley's fellow member of the Church of the Holy Roman Kiddie Diddlers. In 2018 Gruss wrote an essay on capital punishment in the Rapid City Journal.

The death penalty is always an inhumane and inappropriate punishment. I pray that South Dakota joins the many other states that respect the dignity of life by ending the death penalty — in particular for those with severe mental illnesses. [YOURS: Death row no place for mentally ill]

A state-ordered lethal injection isn't criminal justice; it's suicide by cop but Hell is life in the South Dakota State Penitentiary. 

In the autumn of 2007, Piper was teaching himself Spanish and asked the priest who was doing prison ministry at the South Dakota State Penitentiary, where Piper was serving his sentence, if he knew anyone willing to practice the language with him by phone. The priest called Caminando Juntos, a ministry serving immigrants in Sioux Falls, and Presentation Sr. Gabriella Crowley volunteered. Court records show that Piper had sought to introduce new expert evidence concerning possible brain damage, extensive childhood trauma and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, which he argued could have affected his reasoning, impulse control and ability to form intentions at the time of the crime, when he was 19. No execution date has been set yet, although South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley said after the May ruling that an execution could take place in late 2026. [He pleaded guilty to murder. As he awaits execution, Catholic supporters say he's changed.]

A federal judge in Minnesota just sentenced murderer Vance Boelter to two life sentences plus forty years for the assassinations of Melissa and Mark Hortman.

No doubt philandering Earth hater US House candidate Jackley will force the postponement of Piper's execution until after the November general election.
