Life Death Row Inmate Attempts Suicide Hours Before Execution.

**Rain Man** · 03-09-2010, 07:02 PM

I like the twist on this. In order to avoid the death penalty, he tries to kill himself. But the prison intervenes to save him, even though he's scheduled to be executed within hours, and now he's alive beyond the execution date. So by trying to kill himself hours before he was supposed to be killed, he saved his own life, which he didn't want to do, but the government wanted to do, because the government wants him dead.

Ohio Death Row Inmate on Suicide Watch After Overdose
Tuesday, March 09, 2010

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Officials say an Ohio inmate who intentionally overdosed on pills hours before his scheduled execution has returned to prison and is on suicide watch.

Prisons spokeswoman Julie Walburn says 43-year-old Lawrence Reynolds Jr., who admitted taking an overdose of medication prescribed to him, arrived at the Ohio State Penitentiary in Youngstown shortly after noon on Tuesday.

Walburn says Reynolds is isolated from other inmates and under constant observation.

Reynolds was treated at a Youngstown hospital after he was found unconscious in his death row cell Sunday night.

The type of drug he used and why it was prescribed aren't being disclosed. How he accumulated the pills is under investigation.

Reynolds' execution for the 1994 murder of his neighbor near Akron has been rescheduled to next week.

Sounds like what McFistpump did as a head coach last season.

Idiots. They should have let him die.

Glad he didn't die.
I could just see a "wrongful death" lawsuit coming from his family.

Yeah I wasn't even thinking of that.Would probably have been the prisons fault for not watching him closely enough.

You know, I've always thought they should force those guys to jack off pigs and leave a loaded handgun within reach. It would save the state a lot of money.

this shit is stupid

**chefsos** · 03-09-2010, 07:20 PM

Pretending to be asleep never worked for me when I was in trouble. I think I did it wrong.

Rasputin · 03-09-2010, 07:27 PM

The state just doesn't want him to get the satisfaction to kill himself. If he killed himself then justice would not have been served.

KCChiefsMan · 03-09-2010, 07:32 PM

they should have just killed him 15 years ago

BWillie · 03-09-2010, 07:36 PM

He killed someone in 1994 and we are not just getting around to it....what the hell has this world come to. Right after convicted, chop his fucking head off.
