Note that Dickens, Horonetz, and Grant are all still alive, and that material in this article is potentially libellous. So I have restored the warning box above. -- Dominus (talk) 16:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, I missed that. Thanks.--Rodhullandemu 16:58, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cooey's final words

[edit]

At present, the article has "You (expletive) haven't paid any attention...", which is a direct quotation from the cited Associated press article about Cooey's execution. Recent edits have attempted to fillin in "(expletive)", one with "assholes" and one with "fuckers".

I agree that it would be preferable to have the complete, uncensored quotation, but I was not able to substantiate either version with any reliable source.

I have reverted the article to the verifiable, censored version, which is widely reported. I hope that a reliable uncensored version can be found.

Bad Company

[edit]

99.109.51.85 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) has tried a couple of times to add that Cooey raped Offredo and McCreery to the music of Bad Company; also that he tied them up with their shoelaces. This is confirmed by the following report issued by the Ohio parole authority: [1]. I still don't think it is an especially relevant detail that belongs in the article, but I would welcome further discussion of this matter. —Mark Dominus (talk) 03:25, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
