Peter kiloton though the director denies
this nicknamed
the vampire of Dusseldorf Hilton
terrorized that German city in 1929 and
30 being charged with nine murders and
seven attempted murders the guy also
seemed to get sexual gratification from
the bloodshed as evidenced by his final
demented words quote tell me after my
head is chopped off will I still be able
to hear at least for a moment the sound
of my own blood gushing from the stump
of my neck that would be the pleasure to
end all pleasures he lost his head on
July 2nd 1931 with a smile on his face
number 9 bloody Babs Barbara Graham UK
pew sympathy to yourself and I’ll keep
my business to myself Oakland native and
Hollywood prostitute Barbara Graham was
only the third California female to meet
her maker by way of gas execution
Pam found herself in such a predicament
for her role in the vicious 1953 murder
of an elderly Burbank woman despite her
rather positive portrayal in the 1958
flick I want to live Graham was
allegedly the murderer when you hear the
pellets drop count down take a deep
breath it’s easier that way
how do you know nicknamed bloody Babs
she had a brief moment of clarity as the
curtains closed
curiously acknowledging that quote good
people are always so sure they’re right
number eight bogus journey Robert Alton
Harris even as the gas chamber was made
ready for Robert Alton Harris an appeals
court tonight granted a stay of
execution his was the first execution in
California in a quarter of a century and
after a series of Appeals and stays of
execution Robert Alton Harris met the

sweeper but sooner or later you dance
really fast that being quote you can be
a king or a street sweeper but everybody
dances with the grim reaper indeed in
1992 the North Carolina native was sent
off to boogie with the Angel of Death in

after he was convicted of murdering two
sixteen-year-old boys in the late 1970s
meanwhile his younger brother and
accomplice Daniel Harris was given a
six-year sentence after being convicted
of kidnapping number seven sailing with
the rock Aileen Wuornos I have to come
clean and Clin cleanse my spirit in the
name of Jesus Christ in the early 90s a
Florida prostitute killed seven men
allegedly in self-defense
yet the judicial system didn’t quite buy
the story of one Aileen Wuornos I did
the right thing
and I saved a lot of people’s butts from
getting hurt and raped and killed too in
fact the state of Florida handed down
six death sentences and as you might
have already guessed it was inevitable
that Wuornos would receive that fateful
injection
you are inhale
but before the injection Wuornos left a
memorable message quote she would be
sailing away with the rock she’ll be
back with Jesus Christ
like on Independence Day on June 6th
just like the movie on the big
mothership I’ll be back
I’ll be back number 6 personal branding
Gary Gilmore he began writing poetry
drawing and educating himself in the
humanities art and literature notorious
for his unusual demand that his death
sentence be carried out by firing squad
Gary Gilmore faced such a squad in Utah
just six months after he murdered two
men Gary was loosely bound to a chair
with padded nylon straps
he sat facing a gray muslin curtain only
25 feet away there were five small
openings for the writers based on new
regulations the execution marked the
first in nearly ten years within the
United States judicial system the order
of the judicial district court of the
state of Utah has been carried out Gary
mark Gilmore is dead
oddly enough his final words inspired
the catchphrase for one of the world’s
most successful sporting brands facing
five volunteer gunmen Gilmour spouted
the infamous final phrase quote let’s do
it On January 17 1977 a little over a
decade later stars like Michael Jordan
were selling sneakers through a campaign
with a similar slogan but if my face
wasn’t on TV every of the second number
five Spaghettio fail Thomas J Grasso in
the hours before his execution the
murderer of two elderly victims released
a string of cryptic statements to the
press channelling the likes of TS Eliot
and even dropping his own poem I’ve been
working on this poem twelve years really
there’s a lot of expectation I don’t
want to disappoint my fans when it came
time for Thomas J Grasso to punch his
one-way ticket though it was SpaghettiOs
that engulfed his mind for SpaghettiOs
okay ordering a variety of foods for his
final meal ranging from Burger King to
pumpkin pie Grasso let it be known that
quote I did not get my SpaghettiOs I got
spaghetti I want the press to know this
certainly a major blow to spaghetti
number four electric comedy George Apple
electricity shall not be passed through
your body until you it did not to be
confused with noted Australian
politician John George Apple the Big
Apple cop killer named George Apple kept
it light in the face of certain death
Apple found humor in his own name his
imminent death and perhaps even in the
city itself strapped to an electric
chair in 1928 mister Apple delivered a
well-timed pun by stating quote well
gentlemen you’re about to see a baked
apple this was surely the pinnacle of
his wasted life and the punchline he’d
been preparing for years it’d be a good
joke it was plenty number three gallows
Epiphany Wesley Alan Dodd the 31 year
old convicted child killer was scheduled
to be hanged at one minute after 3 a.m.
our time it’s never certain how a killer
will react in court but Wesley Alan Dodd
actually requested his own hanging which
was the method he used to murder the
last of his victims God himself has
called for an end to all Appeals on his
behalf saying he wants to die and in
fact he chose hanging over lethal
injection because he hanged one of his
child victims after killing him this is
a man that tried to become famous for
his crimes boasting to the media and
supposedly helping parents by writing
prevention material during his trial
what would compel him to carry out such
horrifying schemes however in the end
Wesley Alan Dodd did afford the victims
families at least a bit of solace by
noting quote I was once asked by
somebody I don’t remember who if there
was any way sex offenders could be
stopped
I said no I was wrong I was wrong when I
said there was no hope no peace there is
hope there is peace I found both in the
Lord Jesus Christ look to the Lord and
you will find peace
he appears cold devoid of any emotion
number two Hoosier bastard carl panzram
i have no conscience so that does not
worry me I don’t believe in man God nor
devil I hate the whole damn human race
including myself tortured by corrections
officers as an adolescent carl panzram
unsurprisingly went on to live a
troubled life we can see evidence of
kids who may grow into Psychopaths very
early as young as as three years old
this ultimately led to a 1920 killing
spree in New Haven Connecticut and later
the rape and murder of two young boys
like most killers panzram was known to
inflate the numbers of his crimes and
refused to apologize all the way up to
his 1930 hanging I’m sorry for only two
things these two things are I am sorry
that I have mistreated some few animals
in my lifetime and I am sorry that I am
unable to murder the whole damn human
race even at the end he continued to
boast by hollering out quote yes hurry
it up you Hoosier bastard I could kill a
dozen men while you’re screwing around
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions
you
number one compelling case James French
pushing button the only u.s. criminal
executed first crimes in 1966
James French was the last man executed
prior to the case of Furman V Georgia
which temporarily suspended executions
in the u.s. it was stricken as I read
the variety of opinions primarily
because it was arbitrary he pushed the
process along by adding his cellmate to
his list of victims as French was
apparently scared to take his own life
children on his last meal French had
some odd yet revealing words once his
death by electric chair came calling and
appeared to anticipate the headlines of
the next day’s morning news by uttering
quote how’s this for your headline
French frys a well thought out joke but
one he’d probably been waiting to
deliver since his first brush with the
law sometime
the Green Mile seems shalom do you agree
