Glad to see this jury got it right and this scum will get what is coming to him. This also means the other thug Kerry Spencer's life sentence will be overuled by Judge Nall.

Birmingham (AP) - A jury on a 10-2 vote recommended the death penalty for a 28-year-old man convicted of capital murder for his role in the shooting deaths of three Birmingham police officers by a drug-dealing friend.

 

Nathaniel Woods, who was in a crack house with the friend when the officers were killed, told jurors Tuesday he didn't care if they sentenced him to death. The jury had the option of recommending life in prison without parole.

 

"I really don't have no feeling about the officers," Woods told jurors. He said the penalty was up to the jury. "If they want to take my blood, fine," he said.

 

Jefferson County Circuit Judge Tommy Nail set final sentencing for Dec. 2. A death sentence brings an automatic appeal in Alabama.

 

Woods was convicted Monday of capital murder in the June 17, 2004, slayings of Carlos "Curly" Owen, 58, Harley Chisholm III, 40, and Charles Robert Bennett, 33. A fourth officer, Michael Collins, was wounded but survived.

 

Woods also was found guilty of the attempted murder of Collins, which carries a potential life sentence.

 

The officers were shot while they were trying to serve a domestic assault warrant on Woods in an Ensley crack house.

Wouldn't it be more inhumane to simply jail him for the remainder of his life? Cop killers are treated similar to pedophiles in jail, right?Let him suffer with three warm meals a day!

 

Too bad he'll be on death row for quite a few years exhausting the appeal process.
