Letourneau, in jail but hardly incommunicado, expected less trumpeting and more deliberation, since she had cooperated closely with both writers...
...which would ordinarily spare him the death penalty for his 1979 slaying of grocery store clerk Mary Lou York. But under a Supreme Court ruling allowing states to medicate inmates? whose mental condition poses a danger to themselves or others, Singleton is forced to take the very drugs that render him sane enough to be executed...
