Things that I'd like added-

  • A 2nd source confirmation of the Police officer/Doorman killed and/or their names
  • A 2nd source confirmation that he turned the gun on himself soon after their deaths
  • A good picture of Rector

Any other suggestions? Zenosparadox 03:49, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] More background details

My mother was married to Rector during this time and had children by him. Until this day, many of our family's questions about the attempted arrest and execution are still un-answered.

[edit] Incorrect name?

I have seen this name published as RickEy Ray Rector (see, for example, Kozinski, Alex. “Tinkering with Death.” In Debating the Death Penalty: Should America Have Capital Punishment? The Experts on Both Sides Make Their Best Case, edited by Hugo Adam Bedau and Paul G. Cassell. Oxford: Oxford University Press: 43). Thoughts? --Katwmn6 22:38, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] If this guy saved his dessert for after the execution,

then he's certainly not in any way capable of realizing the consequences of his actions, and so the punishment doesn't work. Then again, you don't send someone to the chair so he could be reformed, but rather so he's guaranteed to never repeat his crimes again. --Zalinda Zenobia 01:43, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
