Forty-four-year-old Richard Baumhammers, of Mount Lebanon, was scheduled to be executed March 18. But Allegheny County Judge Jeffrey Manning stayed that execution Friday after Baumhammers’ attorney filed notice of a new appeal.
Gov. Ed Rendell signed a death warrant in January.
Baumhammers shot his Jewish neighbor, two Indian men, a Chinese man, a Vietnamese man, and a black man on April 28, 2000.
He was sentenced to death for the five victims who died outright. The sixth victim, 32-year-old Sandip Patel, of Plum, was left paralyzed and died of complications from pneumonia in 2007.
Before anyone jumps to Grossman comparisions, this guy has has another sixteen years of appeals before the situations can resonably be compared.
Who is the governor there ? Let’s get 49,000 people to send emails to him to kill him !! Let’s not forget , we are for the death penalty for everyone else except for Martin Grossman !!
Sorry it can’t be comared to Grossman because he killed 6 people. Read the article!!
We are not for death penalty whether its a Jew, Christian, White, Black, Mexican. However, when its one of our boys we make a big deal. Just like if your own brother was in trouble!
This all means nothing. This happened in 2000. That means there is still another 15 years until this guy actually gets executed after we go thru all the appeals and othR red tape
The so called “death penalty” is not a deterent the way it is applied…..decades of appeals, and then calmly put to sleep. We need public hangings, and plenty of them.
Such cases show the need for the death penalty. Endless appeals are exploited by
criminals with radical lawyers and liberal sentimentalists backing this insanity.
#1And those who think like him probably are Jews only in their heart therefore (without learning and observing the torah and mitzvahs) will never understand that according to the torah every life is precious, however to a save fellow Jew we have to do whatever in our power including spending our last penny even if it is not politically correct
An attorney? What’s the story here? I never heard of this case. It would appear this murderer is a racist, judging by the ethnic make-up of his victims.
Yes, I signed the petition to save Martin Grossman. I was a proponent of the death penalty. Now I’m not so sure. I don’t know if I would sign one in favor of executing this piece of garbage.
Relax people. The judge made this decision… NOT the Governor. This is nothing like Grossman
For everyone who says they wouldn’t start a petition or write a letter for this guy because he killed a bunch of people, are you saying that you WILL do so the next time somebody is up for execution, and they only killed one, or they were drunk or stoned (not that Grossman was, there’s no evidence that he wasn’t totally sober) or there is a question about whether they did it, or whether it was premeditated? Will you bombard the governor and spread the word at your children’s schools?
Let’s not be hypocritical!
I wasn’t for demanding Grossman not be executed, but this lowlife premeditated these murders and went on a murdering spree looking to murder lower races and religions than his own.
Grossman viciously (while stoned)murdered the wildlife officer to escape arrest.
No comparison at all.
It is important to note that Gov Rendell DID sign the order of execution in accordance with the sentence that was handed down. He is a liberal, and like most liberals, he is personally against the death penalty (typically conservatives are pro-death penalty). So even political persuasion does not matter. A conservative in FL or a liberal in PA… they follow the law which is what the people who elect them expect them to do.
I actually commend the Gov for signing the order even thought it is against his personal beliefs. He understands his role.
Grossman had his years of appeals too. It is a shame that yidden outside the small community that helped him only came to his aid in the final throws after there was no chance of saving him. *WE* failed him… not Gov. Crist, not the jurors who convicted him, not the judges who ruled against him on appeal… *WE* failed.
This was an achzoriosdiga calculated “planed” murder while in Grossman’s case it was a killing of young 19 year old high-school dropout (partial mentally ill) in an estate of panic.
And remember: we did NOT ask for his release! Life in prison without parole is what we’ve asked for!!!
Where is the voice of Chief Rabbi Metzger now? He must be busy with his boys.
