Allen was 50 years old when he orchestrated the ... murders. The fact that he faces execution as a senior citizen is his responsibility... Mr Allen has shown that imprisonment is simply no guarantee of public security.
The U.S. Supreme Court has never spoken to an exception to an upper age limit or a physical illness. As a result, there is no case law from the United States Supreme Court compelling the courts to grant a reprieve.
It went smoothly, it went as it was planned, and I believe ultimately, Mr. Allen received the justice he deserved for the murders he committed.
Mr. Allen finally received the justice he deserved tonight. I was always confident this day would come. I am just very glad to have it finally be done.
