robber gleason junior is opting for the electric chair for the first time since twenty ten robert leeson junior is a virginia prisoner who strangled to inmate in prison and he's promised basically he said under the keep killing unless you give me the electric chair on january sixteen twenty thirteen he's killed a total of three people now he has waived all state and federal appeals he would be the first prisoner to die in the electric chair since quite pat now he told the associated press i did the crime and this is the punishment it is what it is ait any going to go kill a bunch of people and say own don't do that to me inmates in virginia have a choice between electrocution or lethal injection certainly as we know most lethal injection willis he was serving a life term for of *** and he killed his cell mate the way he did it was he was actually uh... i guess they were locked in individual cages even though they were cell mates they were different cages and greece in convinced his cell mate to i guess he needed to pass the length on a necklace that he was making so through the cage he put it around his cell mate and then just strangle them and i guess it took about an hour because as you can imagine you can get that much leverage through the cage that they were in i don't know incredibly groups and he's basically just saying i'm murdered a man cold-bloodedly i'd planned it i'm going to do it again it needs to be stopped put me on death row give me the electric chair he's repeated these threats in court i think is in their way put him in complete isolation um... if he's gonna get the death sentence anyway okay my understanding is now he actually has been moved into twenty three-hour isolation i don't know what to say that it is this a case even though you're against the death penalty r_u_ four at in this case here people always say anybody who's against the death penalty we can find a situation where they had before uh... no arm i'm still not for in this case if he gets sentenced to death because of these extra killings put in the death ok given the chair um... if not the prison needs to make sure that you cannot do this again what do you think it's not even in cases where now n the idea idea that he's asking for the death penalty doesn't mean anything because and what he does what's at think it's all about that this is a guy who's at asking for the death penalty clearly the best way of punishing him for that is not to give it to both of you think that the fact that he's asking for it is actually a reason not to give it to our absolutely is in the worst punishment if he wants to die for him not to die is the perfect honestly made anything it's if it's an interesting point i'd agree with the tonya and that's why i think unless he's legally sentenced to death he should be in a place where he cannot do this to anyone don't given the opportunity people in a cell it's legal twenty four hours a day
