Execute the Plan

Bill Dunn writes a weekly article for a newspaper here in CT. http://www.boomertrek.com/
He calls it "A Matter of Laugh or Death". The column for January 13 was "THE FIVE-SECOND RULE", and talked about how, wouldn't it be nice if you had five seconds to take back what you said. The following guy sure wished he could:

Having suffered a heart attack back in September, Allen had asked prison authorities to let him die if he went into cardiac arrest before his execution, a request prison officials said they would not honor.
"At no point are we not going to value the sanctity of life," said prison spokesman Vernell Crittendon.
"We would resuscitate him," then execute him.
