RALEIGH, N.C. - Henry Louis Wallace, killer of nine women, has gotten
married to a former prison nurse in a ceremony next to the execution
chamber where he is to be put to death.
Rebecca Torrijas, wearing a pale green dress covered with pink flowers
and a pearl necklace, became Mrs. Henry Louis Wallace on Friday.
The ceremony took place at Raleigh's Central Prison, where Torrijas met
Wallace after his arrest in 1994 for North Carolina's deadliest crime
spree.
He was convicted in 1997.
Wallace wore his red prison jumpsuit and black tennis shoes. Prison
chaplain Sam Murray led an unaccompanied rendition of Amazing Grace.
Wallace's court-appointed attorney, Mecklenburg County public defender
Isabel Day, served as an official witness and photographer. Also
attending was the manager of the death-row unit at the prison.
The newlyweds were allowed to talk with one another for about 20
minutes in the room where they were married. They were reunited a few
minutes later in another area, where they were separated by plastic
glass and bars, and talked for about an hour.
The bride, in her mid-50s, declined to comment, saying the ceremony was
very personal. The groom, 32, cannot accept calls and can make only one
a year.
A nurse who has worked with psychiatric patients, Torrijas resigned
from her job at the jail after meeting Wallace. She visited him almost
every week while he awaited trial.
"It makes no difference whether he's on death row or skid row, he has a
right to be married," said Central Prison Warden James French.

I wonder why no matter what kind of scum a man is, some fool woman will marry
it.

That's too hard nosed even for death row. In my state they can make calls as
long as someone accepts it collect.

According to "Dead Man Walking" that's so in Louisiana. I don't know who takes
care of that in my state because it was a short while ago that executions were
carried out by several guards dressed in huge rubber gloves going through a
long list of tasks involving mixing poison chemicals, wrapping cyanide pellets,
setting them under chairs in the gas chamber, filling containers under the
chairs, strapping a stethascope to the criminal's body, and turning handles and
levers. All any medical person did was wait outside and listen to the
heartbeat. Some members of the legislature were afraid of having doctors or
nurses do anything to actively kill the prisoner so it took longer than most of
the states to get lethal injection here.
