Tennessee Death Row Inmate Who Murdered Pedophile Executed By Electric Chair
A Tennessee death row inmate that murdered a pedophile in the year 1985 has died after he was executed by electric chair.
Nicholas Todd Sutton, an inmate, murdered Carl Estep, a fellow inmate, in the year 1985 by stabbing him to death.
Sutton was already in jail for murdering 3 people when he stabbed Estep to death.
According to reports, Sutton killed his grandmother by drowning her when he was just 18 years old.
He then murdered 2 people in the year 1979.
The 58-year-old inmate was given the choice between an electric chair and lethal injection, to which he chose the electric chair.
As part of his final meal, Sutton went with fried pork chops, mashed potatoes with gravy, biscuits, and peach pie with vanilla ice cream.
In 1986m Sutton received the death sentence after he killed Carl Estep.
He lather spent 34 years on death row.
According to USA Today, Sutton was the fifth person in the state of Tennessee to be killed with the use of electric chair since the year 2018.
Sutton reportedly killed his grandmother, who adopted him after having a rough childhood, and his 2 high-school friends Charles Almon and John Large.
It is said that Sutton killed his grandmother by knocking her unconscious with a piece of firewood, wrapped her in a blanket, and bin bags. He later chained her to a cinder block and threw her into a river.
The police did not reveal how Sutton killed Large, but Sutton shot Almon, his high-school friend, dead.
Sutton was sentenced to life in prison for killing his grandmother and his 2 high-school friends, but he was placed on death row after he stabbed Carl Estep, a pedophile, to death in 1985.
Initially, he was sentenced to be killed in the year 2015, but the date was postponed due to legal delays.
The lawyer and family of Sutton campaigned for him to be granted clemency, arguing that he is not the man that committed the crimes.
The clemency for Nick Sutton has an official website, where it reads: “Multiple members of Tennessee correction staff, members of his victims’ families, many of his jurors, and others believe Nick Sutton deserves to live and have taken the extraordinary step of humbly asking Governor Lee to spare his life. A life sentence meets the imperatives of justice and mercy.”
Despite the efforts of the family and friends of Sutton, the execution went ahead.
The authorities announced that Sutton died on the evening of February 20, 2020.
The final words of Sutton were recorded.
Before he got electrocuted to death, Sutton said:
“I have made a lot of friends along the way and a lot of people have enriched my life. They have reached out to me and pulled me up and I am grateful for that. I have had the privilege of being married to the finest woman, who is a great servant to God. Without her, I would not have made the progress that I have made. I hope I do a much better job in the next life than I did in this one. If I could leave one thing with all of you, it is, don’t ever give up on the ability of Jesus Christ to fix someone or a problem. He can fix anything. Don’t ever underestimate His ability. He has made my life meaningful and fruitful through my relationships with family and friends. So, even in my death, I am coming out a winner. God has provided it all to me.”
