Hey there, folks. It is Wednesday, June 24th. And a question for you. Can you actually be too old to die? That is the question in Florida right now for a planned execution tomorrow night. And that person would be the oldest person that state has ever executed. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Robes. Once again, an execution where the debate is not about guilt or innocence. It's about something else.
Yeah, it's about whether or not it's cruel and unusual to execute an elderly man with underlying health conditions. We're talking about 74-year-old Dusty Ray Spencer. He is set to die tomorrow, Thursday, at 6 p.m. Eastern Time by lethal injection.
And when you hear, Robes, yes, 74-year-old man, he's sick. Why would they do this? You hear what he did. Robes, you have a hard time giving this guy mercy.
That is very much true. And yet you hear from his attorneys saying that he should be spared because now he is a, quote, sick old man.
do you buy it uh yeah i bet he is and that's the thing robes he killed a 40 year old woman in a way in a manner that go back and tell me about the mercy she got i know it's it's a comparative thing and robes i struggle with this in this story because we're supposed to be better as people are saying give this guy mercy he's 74 years old and he's sick And we have to be better than he was when he beat the absolute hell out of this woman and killed her some 30-whatever years ago. So, Rose, that's a balance, and that's a difficult one at this point to try to balance. But aren't we supposed to be better than a killer?
