Another Martyr arises:Triple killer Allen Lee Davis is legally tortured to death in FL's electric chair
Joe1orbit
It is my sad duty to have to report that your diseased, perverse,unworthy of
existence society, is continuing to legally murder it's own victimized
creations. Just a few hours ago, we lost 350 pound triple killer Allen Lee
``Tiny'' Davis. He was legally murdered by the state of Florida, as your
INSANELY diseased judicial system allowed him to be strapped into a chair
specifically wired to send a deadly electrical current through his body. In a
rational society, ANY person who expressed SUPPORT for this type of legal
murder, would PROVE themselves to be more worthy of being legally murdered
themselves, and would in fact stand a GREATER chance of RECEIVING this form of
legal murder, than ANY societally created victim who has committed justified
acts of personal, True Reality-based murder, would. BUt of course your society
is not rational, but rather DISEASED to it's very CORE and foundation.
I don't even want to focus on the fact that the electric chair did not work
properly, and may have caused Allen "unnecessary" pain in the moments before he
died. That should be totally IRRELEVENT. There is NO type of societally imposed
legal murder that can be JUSTIFIED, and ALL such legal murders should be
equally condemned, regardless of how "well" or poorly they are carried out, in
terms of causing distress to the murder victim. I am of course EXTRA outraged
over Allen's murder, since he does qualify as a mass murderer, having harvested
three fellow humans.
I take comfort in the FACT that Martyr Allen at least managed to justifiabley
kill THREE of you creatures, before this outrageous legal murder was suffered
by him. And I take comfort in the fact that the justified, True Reality-based
rage and hate and recognition of the RIGHT to claim violent, deadly vengeance,
of THOUSANDFS of FREE victims of your society, is enhanced and strengthened
within their minds, by virtue of them reading and hearing about the legal
murder of their fellow victim and soul mate, Allen Lee Davis.

Rest In peace, Allen.
Take care, JOE

Florida Electrocutes Killer
By RON WORD
STARKE, Fla. (AP) - Florida's first use of its new electric chair turned bloody
Thursday with the execution of a 350-pound inmate for the murders of a woman
and her two daughters 17 years ago.
Blood poured from the mouth and oozed from the chest of Allen Lee ``Tiny''
Davis as he was hit with 2,300 volts at 7:10 a.m.
By the time he was pronounced dead at 7:15 a.m., the blood from his mouth had
poured out onto the collar of his white shirt, and the blood on his chest had
spread to about the size of a dinner plate, even oozing through the buckle
holes on the leather chest strap holding him to the chair.
There was no immediate explanation for the bleeding, believed to be a first for
the 44 Florida executions since executions resumed in 1979.
The new chair in which he died replaced ``Old Sparky,'' which had been used to
execute more than 200 people since 1923. Corrections officials said the old
chair was falling apart; it had also raised concern after a 1997 execution in
which flames up to a foot long shot from the head of the condemned man, Pedro
Medina.
Lawyers for Davis had appealed unsuccessfully to the Supreme Court, saying the
voltage in the old chair during four executions last year fell short of the
amount needed to kill painlessly, especially for a man the size of Davis. While
the chair itself is new, the electrical equipment is the same equipment that
was on ``Old Sparky.''
The execution was one of three in the United States in Wednesday and today.
Davis was brought into the death chamber in a wheelchair. Two prison officers
helped him into the electric chair shortly after 7 a.m., and he was strapped
in, his head covered with a thick chin strap and leather flap.
Two muffled screams were heard from Davis just before the executioner threw the
switch. Davis jolted back into the chair and clinched his fist, a sight common
to Florida executions. Then he started to bleed.
Davis was condemned for the May 11, 1982, slayings of Nancy Weiler, who was
three months pregnant, and her two daughters. He battered Mrs. Weiler, 37, with
his pistol until her face was nearly unrecognizable.
Kristina Weiler, one day from her 10th birthday, was shot twice, her hands tied
behind her back. Five-year-old Katherine was shot in the back as she ran away,
then savagely beaten.
Earlier today, a man convicted of killing a taxi driver in 1984 during a
robbery was executed by injection in McAlester, Okla.
Norman Lee Newsted, 45, shot Larry Buckley after the cabbie picked him up at
the Tulsa airport for a trip to his sister's home. Buckley, who had taken the
second job to support his family, was dumped into a creek.
Newsted claimed he shot Buckley because the cabbie tried to rob him. He gave no
last statement, but as the drugs entered his veins he turned to Warden Gary
Gibson and exclaimed, ``I can taste it.''
In Huntsville, Texas, a man who dubbed himself ``Evil'' was executed by
injection Wednesday night for killing a woman during a burglary at her home.
Tyrone Fuller, 35, was convicted of killing 26-year-old Andrea Lea Duke, who
was stabbed 44 times, beaten, whipped with an electrical cord and raped.
A pathologist determined she likely lived for several hours after the 1988
attack at her home in Paris, Texas, but couldn't scream for help because one of
the stab wounds severed her vocal cords.
One of Fuller's accomplices received a life prison term in a plea bargain.
Charges against a third man were dropped.
``Please do not mourn my death or my life. I hold no bitterness toward no
one,'' Fuller said in his final statement. ``Just remember the light. I'm going
to let this light shine.''

Killer of three executed
July 8, 1999
STARKE, Fla., July 8 (UPI) The state of Florida has executed a man convicted in
the 1982 murders of three members of a Jacksonville family during a home
robbery.
Shortly after being strapped into the state's electric chair, 54- year-old
Allen Lee Davis was pronounced dead at 7:15 a.m. EDT in the first execution
under the watch of first-term Gov. Jeb Bush.
A witness described the execution as a "rough one," saying blood oozed from the
340-pound man's face and chest. The witness also reported hearing two muffled
screams from Davis as electricity was sent surging through the chair.
Davis was condemned for the murders of 35-year-old Nancy Weiler and her
daughters, 9-year-old Kristina and 5-year-old Katherine.
Nancy Weiler, who was three months pregnant, was fatally beaten with a pistol
after Davis forced her to watch him shoot her children.
Prosecutors described the slayings as "simply callous and heinous."
Before the execution, Davis' attorneys expressed concerns that the voltage that
runs through Florida's new electric chair may not be strong enough to quickly
kill especially in the case of their client, who had been confined to a
wheelchair because of his excessive weight.
It was not immediately known whether the problems surrounding today's execution
would delay Friday's scheduled execution of Thomas Provenzano, whose 1984
shooting spree in an Orlando courtroom left one bailiff dead and two others
paralyzed.
Florida is one of just four states that rely solely on the electric chair as a
means of execution.
In recent years, fire and smoke erupted twice during executions, prompting the
Florida Supreme Court to call the chair "a spectacle whose time has passed."

Kristy Weiler was murdered along with her mother and sister by Allen Lee
"Tiny" Davis in 1982.
A day of retribution: Man to die for triple murder
By Margie Mason
Times-Union staff writer
John Weiler's memories of Jacksonville are a stew of emotions. A mixture of two
laughing daughters, a beautiful wife, a dream home and one apocalyptic day.
The call came May 12, 1982, while he was in Pittsburgh working as a division
manager for Westinghouse Corp. He took the first flight home to his quiet
upscale neighborhood off San Pablo Road where his pregnant wife, Nancy, and
their daughters Kristy, 9, and Kathy, 5, had been murdered.
The three were found a day after being shot and blugendoned to death in the
master bedroom on what would have been Kristy's 10th birthday. Later that week,
Allen ''Tiny'' Davis, a son of the Weilers' next-door neighbor, was arrested on
three first-degree murder charges.
Davis, 54, is scheduled to die tomorrow in the electric chair. Weiler declined
to discuss the execution, and officials would not reveal whether he was
scheduled to witness it.
For him, it's more about a family stolen from him and from life.
''The world lost three very important people,'' Weiler said last week, his
voice shaking with emotion. ''All three had so much to contribute, and we
didn't get to benefit from it. That's probably the worst part of it all in the
long run.''
Kristy was a fifth-grader in Seabreeze Elementary School's gifted program. As
part of a school project, she wrote a detailed essay on her dream to become a
nuclear engineer.
She was the competitive little girl on the block who loved to fish and draw and
collect sea shells.
''Kristy could be sort of described as a tomboy,'' Weiler said. ''She was very
competitive, and she challenged all the boys. She won a lot. She never liked to
be second place on anything.''
Her younger sister, Kathy, also had tremendous potential, Weiler said. The
kindergartner could steal anyone's heart.
''Just one look at her face - once you looked - you couldn't help but pick her
up and play with her,'' he said. ''Those are fond memories.''
Weiler had a buyer for the house he and Nancy designed and built at 2303
Shipwreck Drive in Holiday Harbor. Their new house was under under construction
in Pittsburgh, and Weiler had planned to fly home and begin packing up the
weekend of the murders. They were scheduled to all be in Pennsylvania two weeks
later.
''I was coming back [to Jacksonville] every second weekend,'' he said. ''We
talked on the phone every night. We worked as a team as we always did to meet
our goals, and she [Nancy] did her part.''
They were married for 13 years. At the time of her death, Nancy Weiler, 37, had
taken time off from teaching to operate a craft business out of her home and
spend more time with the children.
Weiler has since remarried and has four children. He said he lives in Florida
but he did not wish to reveal the city.
Neighbors who remember his first wife say he lost a jewel. Always a visible
face in the neighborhood who car-pooled and worked as the corresponding
secretary of the PTA.
''I lived diagonally across the street,'' said Dottie Olson, who still lives in
the subdivision off the Intercoastal Waterway between Beach and Atlantic
boulevards. ''They were just precious little children. Nancy and the children
were just lovely.''
Olson said justice will not be served until Davis dies for the lives the took.
In the years since Davis' 1983 sentencing, a death warrant has been signed
three times. Two were delayed by appeals.
''I'm not out for killing people, but when someone does that, I don't see
putting them on Death Row for 17 years,'' Olson said. ''We're paying for him to
be fed and clothed and for his medical bills.''
Davis had been in prison before. In 1973, he was sentenced to 15 years for
armed robbery and other crimes - but was paroled six years later.
Olson said there's a dynamic element to the murders that has kept the
neighborhood silenced all these years. Donald and Pam Davis, Allen Davis'
parents, still live next door to the house where the murders took place. Donald
Davis declined comment, but neighbors say that the family has endured a
suffering similar to Weiler's.
''They're super nice people. Don has been like a dad to us,'' said Landra
Draper, who now lives in the Weiler house. ''People just don't talk about it.
They like them [Donald and Pam Davis], and they wouldn't want to do or say
anthing to hurt them.''
Draper said she didn't find out about the history of her house until the real
estate agent told her the day before they moved in. At first, she said the idea
of living in a house where a triple murder occurred was a little disturbing.
But now she said she's glad they bought the house.
''It really doesn't seem like it happened in my house. It wasn't my house,''
she said. ''It really hasn't bothered me.''
One thing that does bother Draper is the tug-of-war between her personal
beliefs on capital punishment and her deep feelings toward the friends who live
next door.
''I've always been for the death penalty, but it's kind of easy right now not
to see him as a monster that killed these people,'' she said. ''I have a lot of
compassion for Don and Pam, and I hate that for them. I've got three boys of my
own, and I don't think they could ever do anything to make me not love them.''
But for those who knew the Weilers and have no connection to the Davis family,
there's little sympathy.
''If that's his punishment, that's what he should get. It should have come
across a long time ago,'' said Vanessa Andrew, who babysat two years for the
Weilers as a teenager and was initally scheduled to be there the night the
murders occurred. Nancy Weiler changed the plans that afternoon to stay home
and prepare for Kristy's disco birthday party planned for the next evening.
''I've just never got over it,'' Andrew said, crying. ''They were beautiful
people . . . they were really going to be great adults someday. It just breaks
your heart.''
