Execution date set for Cooey, who killed UA coeds in 1986

He is so overweight that they will have trouble finding his vein. I am sure he'll call that cruel and unusual punishment as they repeated attempt to find it.

Remember his last "final meal"?

"The 5-foot-9-inch, 270-pound Cooey wants a rib-eye steak (medium), two eggs sunny-side up, toast with butter, a cheeseburger with the works, onion rings, french fries and two slices of banana cream pie."

(Phil Trexler, Beacon Journal)

This is why it costs taxpayers more to execute people than it does to have them serve life without parole. Appeals, lawsuits, delays....it costs tons of money to the state (taxpayers)! Also, when you execute someone, you have set them free. You can punish them no more. Their suffering is over. A nice quiet humane death, falling asleep permantently. If we have to execute, the method of death should be similar to the crime they committed. Cooey should be beat to death. And I'm sure there are those in prison with him who would be glad to oblige.

It's about damn time...those two young girls suffered greatly, he should as well.....

that s.o.b. is gonna get his now. i just wish they did him the same cruel and inhumane way he did those poor girls. god rest their souls

Agree, SDespot, 21 years and who-knows-how much of our $$$ too late. Taking it a step further, books57, taxpayers should be able to file a class action lawsuit against his estate.

This punk has no estate. A loser at 19 when he killed the two young women. 21 years is way too long. I was at University of Akron in a fraternity and knew both of them. He is lucky the courts did not turn him over to the Greek system at UA when he was found guilty.

As for how to kill him....fly him about 50 miles out over the ocean....dump him and a hundred gallons of pigs blood into the ocean....let nature do it for us.

You are right...my point simply is that the those in the Greek system tend to have very close relationships...

Let him dangle by the neck from the Y-Bridge. Both he and the newest baby-killer. Let 'em hang like windchimes.

I just don't understand why we are forced to pay for the time he spent in prison - 21 years? We give people too much time. Look at Saddam, convicted and dead all within how much time??

Plus we get to pay for his lawyers and all of his appeals. It is pure crap but this is what happens when your elected representatives are lawyers and they are making the laws. He should have fried 21 years ago.

<quoted text>Yes Sir and if you knew the facts in this case you would know that we have wasted 20 years to much and we are still going to waste 3 more months.

Personally, Im glad he has 3 months of knowing he's going to die...I hope he has a perpetual stomach ache from now till Oct!!!

Can't agree more ...today sounds good for that scum ...I'm free this afternoon to help out

If what all of you say is true, that the death penalty is right and needs to be administered in a more timely manner, how do you justify that the other guy got life in prison?

This was a total waste of time and money. He was found guilty; he was sentenced to die. He's been on death row longer than those girls lived. More injustice to those two lovely girls.

It's not pure crap. This is what happens when you live in a nation that has due process. God forbid that we take after a country like Iraq or Iran. I can understand all the emotional venting on this site over Cooey's crimes but I am also grateful that this country does not make its decisions on such primal feelings.

Agreed. Let the legal system take its course. It's a small price we pay for our freedoms.

I'm sure that if any single person on this forum was found guilty at trial of a crime that they did not commit, they would want each and every last appellate option available to them. If we take those options away from Cooey, they won't be available to the truly innocent.

Not saying this guy WASN'T guilty (it was a pretty terrible crime), but we have to give the guy the same rights that we would want for ourselves. Paying the tax bills is a small price to pay for our freedom.

We need to get the meat grinder going again quickly! Lot's of thugs that need to be removed from the burden of the taxpayer. NEXT!!

Just leave it.

I don't seem to have this macabre fascination with his death like most of the folks here, I don't like to revel in the fact that the state is killing someone. This is a somber, serious affair. People can have a satisfied sense of justice (that's fine), but they sure as hell shouldn't be reveling in the death of a human, no matter how evil that person is. It's kind of sick, really, to see folks celebrating in this forum.

He's going to die. Get over it. It's over.

Way too long for justice to be served...he should be hung tonight.

Yeah, that all makes sense. He was an angry man with negative punishment intentions. Killing him off don't sound like the right thing to do; however it will relieve the justice system from using taxpayer dollars to keep him housed and fed let alone alive to think of more horrible things to do while he in encaved with other inmates. Now the young man who is doing life should be thankful but yet ashamed that he took part in something so pointless yet horrific...Be careful of your surrounding "those who've been harmed apparently wasn't of theirs".

I surprised that all of these blogs are in favor of his death!! He's had more than enough time to live-and try yo prove that he didn't kill these girls. He got to "plea" for his scum life, but Dawn and Wendy didn't(nor another innocent victim of crimes) Time to take back the streets and knock off that the injection is cruel and inhuman.

I remember this story from when I was a kid. I can't believe this guy is still alive!
