Religious Leaders Advocate for Ex-Veteran's Clemency
Timothy Adams begged his father for forgiveness in his first call from death row in 2003.
Without hesitation, Columbus Adams said yes. He forgave Timothy Adams for fatally shooting his 19-month-old son — Columbus Adams' grandson — in the chest. Today, a week before his son is scheduled to die for the crime, Columbus Adams and a host of religious leaders asked the state to forgive Timothy Adams, too. Timothy Adams was a hard-working Christian and an Army veteran, he said, who never committed a crime before the day he lost control during an argument with his wife and killed their son ...

Killing an innocent person most definitely throws any good things he has ever done out the window and into the gutter. Are you advocates for this heartless excuse for a human even listening to yourselves? You think the jury would have given him a lesser sentence if they knew he was a man of faith and character? CHARACTER??? A man of character knows how to control himself. He should also be a caring individual with integrity. Killing your own son out of rage deserves nothing less than the death penalty. Imagine your father losing his cool and shooting you in the chest. Not yelling at you. Not pushing you down. Not punching you. SHOOTING YOU WITH A GUN is UNFORGIVABLE. UNFORGIVABLE!!! You don't take your own sons life and apologize. If I even accidentally killed my own son somehow, I could not go on living after that. I'd probably sit in silent shock that would only end with me taking my own life. He should want to die after robbing HIS OWN SON of getting to experience any of the true joys in life. He'll never get to have his own son or daughter who I'm sure unlike this S.O.B. he would have showed nothing but love and compassion towards rather than shooting him in the chest. He'll never get married or find his true calling in life. Thanks to this scumbag he's been sent to a very young grave for doing nothing other than sticking up for his mother who likely showed him love like parents with SOULS are supposed to do. GIVE ME A BREAK. HE DESERVES THE ELECTRIC CHAIR!!!
