How he ended two lives in front of co-workers:

He was convicted in the 1989 shooting deaths of Debbie Dietz, 29, and Gene Dietz, 55, at their auto repair shop in Tucson.

Wood and Debbie Dietz had a tumultuous relationship during which he repeatedly assaulted her. She tried to end their relationship and got an order of protection against Wood.

On the day of the shooting, Wood went to the auto shop and waited for Gene Dietz, who disapproved of his daughter's relationship with Wood, to get off the phone. Once the father hung up, Wood pulled out a revolver, shot him in the chest and then smiled.

Wood then turned his attention toward Debbie Dietz, who was trying to telephone for help. Wood grabbed her by the neck and put his gun to her chest. She pleaded with him to spare her life. An employee heard Wood say, "I told you I was going to do it. I have to kill you." He then called her an expletive and fired two shots in her chest.

Justified? Your thoughts?




On the subject of the death penalty.
Seems to me that the appropriate execution method of Wood should have been by firing squad.

You know, I've wondered about this whole bit about "cruel and inhumane" executions.
What society has forgotten is how the victim died. Some murders are extremely brutal and cruel.
If a convicted murder kills using a knife, perhaps he should experience the same fate.
If he decapitated his victim, his head would be cut off.

I think the "Humane" way to execute a condemned prisoner ought to be for to teach a lesson for
other would be killers. Give them something to think about. That was the whole point of public executions in the past. To administer correction and set an example.
Today, in the US, it's sanitary and unseen.
