SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- The U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal Monday from a 76-year-old convicted killer who argued that he was too old and feeble to be executed.
The ruling cleared the way for Clarence Ray Allen -- legally blind, nearly deaf and in a wheelchair -- to be executed by injection early Tuesday for a triple murder he ordered from behind bars to silence witnesses to another killing.
Allen's heart stopped in September, but doctors revived him and returned him to San Quentin Prison's death row.
The only thing that upsets me over this is the fact he died last year only to be revived why was nt he just allowed to die and save time
