Alabama to execute man who asked for his death sentence to stop ‘wasting everybody’s time’

Alabama is scheduled to execute a man on Thursday after he dropped his appeals, admitting that he is guilty of raping and murdering a woman 15 years ago and doesn't want to keep “wasting everybody's time.”

James Osgood, 55, will be executed by lethal injection at 6pm at William Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, Alabama. When his sentence is administered, he will join the approximately one in ten people on death rows across America who have asked for their own executions.
