After dropping his appeals, an Alabama person is scheduled to be executed on Thursday, saying he is guilty of raping and murdering a lady in 2010 and doesn’t want to continue “wasting everyone’s time and money.”
James Osgood, 55, may be put to death at 6 p.m. CDT at the William Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, Alabama, joining the roughly one in ten people on death row in the country who have requested their own deaths.
Canning was found guilty by a judge in Chilton County of capital crime for the death of Tracy Lynn Brown. After Brown and his partner sexually assaulted his girlfriend, according to the prosecution, Osgood cut her throat.
Booth claimed to have apologized to Brown’s home and that he had dropped his appeals because he had “murdered myself.” He stated in a letter to his attorney explaining his choice to request an execution date that he was tired and that he no longer feels “even existing.”
” I firmly believe in tooth for tooth, as I did in jury,” he said. My life was taken, but mys was taken. Booth told the AP,” I don’t feel in sitting around and wasting everyone’s time and money.”
On October 23, 2010, Brown was discovered lifeless in her house. After talking about their fantasies of kidnapping and torturing people, Brown and his girlfriend sexually assaulted him and forced her to do sex acts, prosecutors claimed Orchard admitted to telling the police that he and his girlfriend had a confession to having sex with her. Finally he cut her neck. His girl, who was Brown’s aunt, received a life sentence.
” I can’t think anyone harming one, not even their worst enemy,” said one author. At Osgood’s sentencing hearing in 2014, Jackie Wileman, Brown’s mother, said,” I don’t understand what kind of thinking has that kind of thinking.”
The judge noted that Osgood had a tough childhood that included physical abuse, abandonment, and a suicide attempt in handing down the death sentence. However, the judge added that as she begged the few to no harm her, Osgood reduce Brown’s throat and stabbed her.
Booth expressed regret for the suffering and pain he has caused Brown’s home and his own last year. Booth remarked,” I would like to suggest to the murderer’s home, I apologize.” ” I’m not going to ask them for their forgiveness because I know they didn’t offer it.” He claimed that even God can offer compassion.
An appeals court ruled that jurors were given inappropriate instructions, and Osgood’s first death sentence was overturned. Booth requested to be executed at his resentencing in 2018, saying he didn’t like the families to withstand another reading.

This full has since grown to more than 1650. The majority of these volunteers, according to the core, had histories of menstrual illness, substance abuse, or suicidal thinking.
