HUNTSVILLE, Texas: Leon David Dorsey IV, who brashly called himself "Pistol Pete" and acknowledged in an interview that killing people didn't rankle him, was set to die Tuesday for the 1994 shooting deaths of two employees at a Dallas video store.
"I've done cut folks; I've done stabbed folks; I've killed folks," he told The Dallas Morning News while awaiting trial. "But it don't bother me."
No appeals were in the courts to stop the lethal injection. which would be the seventh this year in the nation's most active capital punishment state and the first of two this week.

Doesn't look like he has much legal or emotional support.

thats all i could find

Thanks for posting that.By the sounds of it he has no appeals in the courts so sadly it looks like it will go ahead.
It sounds like he has no legal or emotional support which is sad.

My prayers are with Leon and all who have been touched by his life.

hello together,

I have a few questions. I read about your prayers and thoughts for leon dorsey and that it is so sad that he will be executed. what about the CO´s? Dorsey should have said, that he will try to attack them at the huntsville unit prior to his execution. I read that he said to an officer that they need to bring the best Swat team they have to move him on. i read that he thinks it was fine to kill people and that it didn´t bother him. i am not the biggest fan of capital punishment but i think Mr. Dorsey goes absolutley the wrong way. but i think i am alone with my opinion here....

donvito... We all hope that nothing will happen to the people that are there with him.... of course we don't think that is ok.

We are thinking of everyone involved....

thank you for your response. do not think i want to offend you here but i asked because i cannot read anything about the victims here. i read that many death row inmates are remorseful but mr.dorsey isn´t and it seems that he is not interested in being that.

I understand...

I see this is just your first and second post on PTO so please understand that PTO is a support site for inmates and their family and friends. We all have to have a place to come and this is the place for family and friends of prisoners.

Of course we all do feel for the victims and their families and friends also..... just so you know that.

Welcome to PTO and let us know if there is anything we can do for you.

Mr Dorsey has been executed

JDeezy D-20-T-L · #14 08-12-2008, 07:03 PM

As much as I disprove capital punishment, I really do not feel bad at all for this guy, simply because of his psychotic attitude during that interview he had and on his violent nature, but my prayers are with his family and the victims family though.

Leon has been executed. Please see In Memoriam thread.
