‘Merican Pulse

This Daryl Keith Holton. On November 30, 1997, in Shelbyville, Tennessee, Holton shot his four children—Stephen (12), Brent (10), Eric (6), and Kayla (4) two at a time in his garage. He told them not to peek because "Daddy had a surprise." Holton was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and psychosis. He was a military veteran who had been suffering from PTSD. Both sides acknowledged he was deeply afflicted with mental illness. It didn't matter. The jury deliberated for 50 minutes and handed down a death sentence. He died via the electrocution in 2007. Men didn't line the streets in support. They didn't do heart shaped hands. They didn't donate $1 million. They unanimously agreed this scumbag deserved to die.
