Georgia execution brings closure for murdered teen's family
By HARRY R. WEBER
Associated Press Writer
JACKSON - The execu
tion of a 34-year-old man in
Georgia served as final jus
tice to a mother who waited
more than a decade to see
him pay for killing her
teenage son. The con
demned man, too, said
beforehand that justice was
being done.
Deniese Cail watched
from behind a glass parti
tion as Timothy Don Carr
was given a lethal injection
Tuesday night for fatally
stabbing 17-year-old Keith
Patrick Young and beating
him with a baseball bat as
he pleaded for his life during
a robbery in 1992.

she said.
He had a routine each
night to ready the gun and
make sure there is a bullet
in the chamber, Lumsden
said.
“He pulls the slide back
and pops one (round) out
and one enters the cham
ber,” she said. “He would
then remove the magazine,
(and) put the round back in
the magazine.”
On April 6, 2003, the gun

As a member of both the
Armed Services and
Intelligence committees,
Chambliss is one of a hand
ful of senators who regular
ly gets classified briefings on
military and civilian mat
ters.
Often the information is
duplicative, he says, but
sometimes one supplements
the other. Chambliss figures
the concept of one office as a
clearinghouse of informa
tion is wise, but only if the
director can quickly inter
pret it. For military topics, a
translator of sorts would
help _ and a four-star gener
al would underscore that
person’s clout in the armed
forces.
The new Intelligence
Command, or INTCOM,
would include the spy
branches of the Army, Air
Force Navy and Marines as
well as the Defense
Intelligence Agency and
Pentagon agencies that run
spy satellites.
Over the last few weeks,
Chambliss and Sen. Ben
Nelson, D-Neb., have been
trying to sell to lawmakers
their legislation, which still
doesn’t have public support
from the Pentagon or White
House.
Their job may have been
complicated somewhat over
the weekend when The
Washington Post disclosed

and this day to come,” Cail
said after the execution.
She said the punishment
was fitting the crime.
“It’s finally over for my
family,” Cail said. “He’s
gone and he didn’t go to the
same place as my son. My
son is in heaven; he’s not.”
The victim’s uncle, Nick
Young, said the execution
brought closure to the fami
ly-
“ What we’ve been
through is living hell,” he
said.
Carr was given a lethal
injection at the state prison
in Jackson for killing Keith
Young on Oct. 8, 1992. He
was pronounced dead at
8:37 p.m.
“It’s time for justice to be
served,” Carr said in a final
“dramatic turnaround” in
the city accounting records.

Catlett’s face when he put
the magazine back in the
gun, Lumsden said.
“Our contention is that
there is a certain level of
responsibility as a gun
owner to make sure the bar
rel of the gun is not pointed
at someone,” Lumsden said.
Whittle and Catlett had
two children together, who
were in the Grovania Road

belonged to the CIA.
Democrats demanded hear
ings on why these “strategic
support teams” hadn’t been
disclosed to Congress, but
Republicans - including
Chambliss - insisted
Defense Secretary Donald
H. Rumsfeld had done noth
ing wrong and that the
proper committees were
alerted.
“Gosh, I hope they had
folks in Iraq and
Afghanistan over the last
couple years,” Chambliss
said. “The story would be if
they didn’t have those peo
ple there.”
Chambliss says the vary
ing opinions of his col
leagues about Rumsfeld
shouldn’t affect whether
they support his bill. The
spies who currently report
to Rumsfeld would still do
that, he says, albeit the four
star general would also be in
the loop. The other organi
zations would report to the
general.
And if there is competition
among military and civilian
spy units, so be it,
Chambliss says.
“It’s not bad to have com
petition with the intelli
gence community as to who
can come up with the best
product,” he said. “The
problem you have is when
both products are not pre
sented to the ultimate user -
the president of the United
States.”
statement issued by the
prison before the execution.
He also apologized to the
victim’s mother for any grief
he may have caused her and
told his family that he loved
them.
Just before the chemicals
were administered, Carr
was asked if he had any
thing more to say. He
uttered the word “Peace.”
As the chemicals were
pumped into his veins,
Carr’s eyes were closed and
his chest heaved several
times. He gasped slightly
and slowly died.
Last-minute appeals and a
clemency petition to the
state parole board failed.
The U.S. Supreme Court
delayed the execution for
about an hour while it con-
pies, and pledges to conduct
its affairs accordingly.
