With execution hours away, Alabama inmate wants lethal injection to go forward: "An eye for an eye"
CBSN
A man on Alabama's death row wants his execution to go forward Thursday, saying he believes in an "eye for an eye."
"The reason I dropped my appeals is I am guilty of murder," James Osgood told The Associated Press in an telephone interview from prison. "I'm a firm believer in, like I said in court, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I took a life so mine was forfeited. I don't believe in sitting here and wasting everybody's time and everybody's money."
Osgood, 55, is scheduled to receive a lethal injection Thursday at his south Alabama prison. Alabama has also carried out four nitrogen gas executions, the first state to use that method.
