North Carolina Death Row Inmate Taunts Justice System

Convicted murder Danny Hembree, sits in North Carolina's Central Prison convicted of  killing a 17-year old girl and accused of murdering two other women. He will go to trial later in the year for those two killings. In a letter he wrote to The Gaston Gazette, Hembree says, "Is the public aware that I am a gentleman of leisure, watching color TV in the A.C., reading, taking naps at will, eating three well balanced hot meals a day," Hembree asked in the letter. "I'm housed in a building that connects to the new 55 million dollar hospital with round the clock free medical care 24/7." See video from ABC News.



Hembree admitted to doing drugs and having sex with the then 17-year old Heather Catterton,  then disposing of her body in a rural area outside of Gastonia, N.C. He was dating Heather's older sister Nicole at the time of the murder. 


Hembree tells the citizens of Gaston County, N.C., that they should petition that state and force them to carry out his "murder sentence."


"I am a man who is ready to except [sic] his unjustful punishment and face God almighty with a clean conscience unlike you cowards and your cowardly system," Hembree wrote. "Kill me if you can suckers. Ha! Ha! Ha!"


The letter is signed, "Sincerely, Danny Hembree."
