Aileen Wuornos
Execution
Wuornos' appeal tae the U.S. Supreme Court wis denee'd in 1996. In 2001, she annooncit that she wad no issue ony faur appeals against her daith sentence. She petitioned the Florida Supreme Court for the richt tae fire her legal coonsel an stap aw appeals, sayin, "I killed those men, robbed them as cold as ice. And I'd do it again, too. There's no chance in keeping me alive or anything, because I'd kill again. I have hate crawling through my system...I am so sick of hearing this 'she's crazy' stuff. I've been evaluated so many times. I'm competent, sane, and I'm trying to tell the truth. I'm one who seriously hates human life and would kill again." A defense attorney argued that she wis in nae state for them tae honour sic a request.
Florida Gorernor Jeb Bush instructit three psychiatrists tae gie Wuornos a 15-minute interview. The test for competency requires the psychiatrist(s) tae be convinced that the condemned person unnerstaunds that she will dee an for which creeme(s) she is bein executit. Aw three judgit her mentally fit tae be executit.
Wuornos later stairtit accusin the preeson matrons o abuisin her. She accused them o taintin her fuid, spittin on it, servin her potatoes ceukit in dirt, an her fuid arrivin wi urine. She claimit overhearin conversations an aw aboot "trying to get me so pushed over the brink by them I'd wind up committing suicide before the [execution]" an "wishing to rape me before execution". She complained o strip searches an aw, bein handcuffed sae tichtly that her wrists bruisit ony time she left her cell, door kickin, frequent windae checks bi matrons, law watter pressur, mildew on her mattress an "cat calling ... in distaste and a pure hatred towards me". Wuornos threatened tae boycott shouers an fuid trays when specific officers wur on duty. "In the meantime, my stomach's growling away and I'm taking showers through the sink of my cell."
Her attorney statit that "Ms. Wuornos really just wants to have proper treatment, humane treatment until the day she's executed", an "If the allegations don't have any truth to them, she's clearly delusional. She believes what she's written".
Durin the feenal stages o the appeal process she gae a series o interviews tae Broomfield. In her final interview shortly afore her execution she claimit that her mynd wis bein controlled bi "sonic pressure" te mak her appear crazy an describit her impendin daith as bein taken awa bi angels on a space ship. Wuornos said tae Broomfield, "You sabotaged my ass, society, and the cops, and the system. A raped woman got executed, and was used for books and movies and shit." Her feenal wirds in the on-camera interview wur "Thanks a lot, society, for railroading my ass." Broomfield later met Dawn Botkins, a childhuid friend o Wuornos', who told him, "She's sorry, Nick. She didn't give you the finger. She gave the media the finger, and then the attorneys the finger. And she knew if she said much more, it could make a difference on her execution tomorrow, so she just decided not to."
Wuornos wis brocht intae the daith chamber on October 9, 2002. She haed Kentucky Fried Chicken an french fries as her last meal an wis gien a $20 budget. Her last wirds afore the execution wur "Yes, I would just like to say I'm sailing with the rock, and I'll be back, like Independence Day with Jesus. June 6, like the movie. Big mother ship and all, I'll be back, I'll be back." At 9:47 a.m. EDT, Aileen Wuornos dee'd. She wis the tent wumman in the Unitit States tae be executit syne the Supreme Court liftit the ban on caipital punishment in 1976, an the seicont wumman ever executit in Florida.
