Convicted killer Joshua Bishop was executed tonight by the state
of Georgia for murdering one of his drinking buddies in 1994. Bishop, the
victim, and a third man had been out drinking when they decided to go to the
victim’s trailer to smoke crack. When the victim fell asleep, Bishop and his
accomplice decided to steal the man’s jeep. The man woke up during the act, so
Bishop and his accomplice beat the man with a car battery (lending new meaning
to the term assault and battery) then
beat him with a curtain rod until he was dead. Once the victim’s body had been
safely hidden between two dumpsters, the two men set fire to the jeep then went
out drinking again. After he was arrested for the crime, Bishop admitted to
killing a second man two weeks earlier because that man had bragged about
sexually assaulting Bishop’s mother.
For his last meal, Joshua Bishop asked for a barbecue
sandwich, Brunswick stew, potato chips, coleslaw, lemonade, and “purple candy,”
whatever that might be.
