A former police officer who was found guilty of nine ******* in the late ’80s is scheduled to be executed tomorrow night despite a plea from his lawyer for a stay.
The Florida man, Manuel Pardo, enjoyed a good career as a highway patrolman–even earning accolades from his co-workers–but marred his record with a termination due to the falsification of traffic tickets. He was later involved in a police ********* case with four other officers in Sweetwater, and by 1986 he had been fired again for lying to a judge on behalf of one of his colleagues, saying they were undercover officers after a **** bust. That was the beginning of a shocking downward spiral for Pardo; that same year, over a 3-month span, he ****** nine people and committed a string of robberies. His penchant for taking photos of the violent aftermath–and recording the details in his journal–ended up being his downfall. He reportedly took up a heavy fascination with Adolf Hitler and later told prosecutors that he had been doing his victims a favor by ******* them.
“He was very cold,” retired prosecutor David Waksman said. “He was doing robberies and went home and ***** like a baby. He was proud of what he did.”
Pardo said he modeled himself after Hitler because he was an “activist” and showed no remorse for the *******.
“They’re parasites and they’re leeches, and they have no right to be alive,” he said. “Somebody had to **** these people.”
A plea for a stay of execution was forwarded last Friday (under claims that he is mentally ill), but unless it comes as a last-minute decision on the judge’s part, Pardo will be given a lethal ********* on Tuesday night.
