QUOTE: Harry Walters saw neither the
death nor the funeral of his wife of 26 years. But, he will witness the death
of her killer to confirm the receipt of justice and closure he says should have
been his a decade ago. ''On April 5, 1958, Marlene and
I were married, exchanging the vows 'until death do us part.' We were parted by
murder,'' Walters says. ''Execution is the
solution. The Bible tells me so.''
"The family asks not for your
sympathy or even your compassion,'' said Scott Lillard, Mr. Walters' son-in-law.” We
ask for justice.''
