Rest in peace Jack.

It's as pointless of a death as that of his wife.

I hope you found some peace.

Default Jack

I met Jack on Georgia's Death row in 1994. He was always so polite. He had a visitor that saw him often. She had met him while her son was in Jackson. I'd like to tell her especially that I am thinking of her and thinking of Jack. God love you both.

Calm’ Alderman put to death by lethal injection

Jackson —- The 20th man executed in Georgia by lethal injection took 14 minutes to die Tuesday night. Witnesses described Jack Alderman’s manner as calm, almost serene, his eyes closed the entire time. For a few minutes before he was declared dead, they said he smiled. “He was calm,” said Jan Skutch, a media witness from the Savannah Morning News. “It was a

According to the article he had a smile on his face when he died. I'm glad to hear that the execution was not a painful as you read about sometimes.

Pity, they did not commute his sentence to LWOP. The article seemed to indicate he was a model prisoner?

Sixty-one years ago today, Jack Alderman was born in Savannah, Georgia. On 16 September 2008 he was executed by that same state for a crime he did not commit. By that time, he had spent 33 years on death row, making him the longest serving prisoner awaiting execution in the US.

The article is here. May he be peace.

R.I.P. Jack Edward Alderman (29 May 1951-16 September 2008); if only I had known before I had seen mammastalkin's post here that you likely did not commit the crime the state of Georgia murdered you for.
