Gary Hilton Today

Thanks for update. Do they need any volunteers to pull the switch?

I'd be glad to ride a bike to power the generator to provide the current so you can pull that switch.

Usually costs far more money to execute/house a person on death row than to keep as an LWOP.

That's easily remedied.

Death sentences are carried out within 7 days unless an appeal is filed.

Attorneys willing to file an appeal for a convicted murderer agree to provide lodging for the felon in their home for the duration of the appeals process.

As much as I love hiking in NC, I am sorry to say that to try this idiot in NC would be a total waste. They didnt even give that big fat SOB that killed State Trooper Shawn Blanton the death penalty. The dude just shot the trooper who stopped him and people saw it on the interstate.....How does this not get the death penalty? That is why I was glad to see them trying Hilton in Florida. A trial in NC would definitely be a waste of time and money even if they had the evidence. The Florida justice actually has some teeth.

Not to lessen the loss of Meredith Emerson which was tragic, but the reason Gary Hilton is on Death Row in Florida is because of the murder of Cheryl Dunlap. Cheryl was also an active outdoors woman. Her abduction was from the trails at Leon Sinks Geological Area and her body was dumped in Apalachicola National Forest. Her life should be remembered as much as Hilton's death.

Meredith Emerson and Cheryl Dunlap are eternally united by the outcome:
FL used the GA murder case as an “aggravating factor to seek the death penalty,” according to news accounts.

Inmate #133897’s eternal destination = Inferno.

The story is on Dateline NBC right now not sure if this is a repeat but they are telling the story of Hilton's deadly spree. Was not sure of whether to post this but I know alot of people on here have followed this story.
