Isn’t it odd and perhaps ironic how convicted murderer Paul John Fitzpatrick said about Death row last March when he was before a judge in Largo, Florida. He said Death row “is the calmest place I’ve ever been in”.

He was hoping to avoid a mere life sentence, which would place him in the general prison population. “I probably found the most peace I’ve ever had in my whole life (in his previous experience) on death row,” he said. “It’s just a lot easier doing time with murderers than it is with fools.”

The ironic part? The judge gave him life.
