Once, a sheriff’s deputy in Texas. Now scheduled to die.
56-year-old Michael Griffith will be the 15th inmate executed this year in Texas - a state also known as the McDonald’s of executions.
A former sheriff’s deputy? What’d he do?
Well, he wasn’t really a sheriff’s deputy when he killed 44-year-old of Deborah McCormick.
No, he was just your everyday average citizen when he raped, robbed and murdered her.
Michael Griffith was fired from the force two years before this killing due to his tendency towards domestic violence. The department got sick of it and tossed him out.
Michael Griffith didn’t take it too well.
His victim was alone in her family’s Houston flower shop and wedding chapel in October of 1994 when Griffith, a repeat customer, walked in. He asked for six long-stem roses.
Then he pulled out a gun.
Michael Griffith also was convicted of committing two violent robberies in the month McCormick was killed. In one, evidence showed he shot a woman in the head during the robbery of a savings and loan office. In the other, he robbed and sexually assaulted a woman at a bridal salon. Both women survived and testified against him.
Will we see him in Hell? Certainly.

On the one hand you are mad that Georgia does not do enough executions and on the other you think Texas does too many?

trust all police officers because they are all cuddly little kittens. It great to see that nutcase was once on the force. He probably got good with a gun after going through the police academy.
