Hembree taunts his readers with the costs of his trial and upkeep, as well as the relative comfort in which he lives on death row. He explains that he has access to "free medical care 24/7" at a new 55 million dollar facility.
Humbree, 50, was convicted of murdering two North Carolina women and a 17-year-old girl. Like many states, no one has been executed in North Carolina since 2006 because of legal challenges over lethal injections and whether a physician must oversee executions.
"Is the public aware that the chances of my lawful murder taking place in the next 20 years if ever are very slim?" Hembree asked.
Hembree states that he "is ready to except [sic] his unjust punishment and face God Almighty with a clear conscience." He taunts, "Kill me if you can, suckers. Ha! Ha! Ha!"
