Domineque Hakim Marcelle Ray was set to be put to death Thursday. His appeals were exhausted, but he had one last request: As a Muslim, he wanted an imam to be in the chamber with him when he was put to death.
In Alabama, prisoners can have a Christian chaplain with them in the chamber when they are executed. Ray’s imam was available to join him in the death penalty chamber, but Alabama — and a majority of the United States Supreme Court — were so eager to put the man to death, and so eager to inflict one more casual cruelty, that they refused to stay the execution for a short time so that the imam could be present.

I want to see some death row inmate claim to be a Pastafarian, and demand a pirate be present....
