Delaware Killer Asks Judge Not to Delay Execution

WILMINGTON, Del. — The attorney for a Delaware death row inmate facing execution this week asked a federal judge on Monday to reject an attempt by the convicted killer’s estranged sister to stop the execution.

Shannon Johnson has waived his right to further appeals of his conviction and death sentence and faces death by lethal injection on Friday.

Federal public defenders are trying for the second time to intervene in the case without Johnson’s consent, arguing on behalf of Johnson’s sister that he is mentally incompetent and should not be executed.

He wants to get on with his next life and do better. Let him go.
