HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - As federal and state judges heard arguments Wednesday on last-minute attempts to prevent New England's first execution in 45 years, serial killer Michael Ross told those same courts he is ready to die.
During a state Supreme Court hearing, Ross' attorney read an affidavit in which Ross said he does not "authorize, endorse, concur in or approve of any legal pleadings or petitions" filed on his behalf to stop the execution scheduled for 2 a.m. Friday.
The court then rejected an appeal from Ross' sister, Donna Dunham, who was seeking status to act on her brother's behalf.
