Reply #67: Poplawski is sentenced to death [View All]

[RamboLiberal]

Richard Poplawski, who was found guilty of ambushing three Pittsburgh police officers as they arrived at his Stanton Heights home for a simple domestic dispute, should be put to death.

That was the decision tonight of the jury of five women and seven men who weighed the evidence against the 24-year-old during this week's penalty phase of his capital murder trial and chose to impose three death sentences.

After deliberating for about two hours, the jurors told the judge they had a verdict. The courthouse hallway near the courtroom was cleared. Pittsburgh and suburban officers streamed into the courthouse, bounding up the stairs.

At 6:59 p.m. the verdict came: Mr. Poplawski, 24, should die by lethal injection for the April 4, 2009, shooting deaths of Paul J. Sciullo II, Stephen J. Mayhle and Eric G. Kelly.

Though I doubt the sentence will ever be carried out unless he gives up his appeals. Another POS Richard Baumhammers who killed his Jewish female neighbor, 2 men from India in an Indian grocery, 2 Chinese workers in a Chinese restaurant & an young African American man in a karate school in a racist spree killing has been sitting on death row for about 10 years now. That piece of crap even advertises for pen pals.

PA hasn't executed a death row inmate for a very long time. Only consolation is Poplawski won't be in Genpop where he'd be a hero to the NeoNazis.
