Cheese Killer Denied Execution Appeal"},"content":{"rendered":"

The man dubbed the “Chuck E. Cheese” killer has been denied<\/a> a chance to avoid the death penalty once again, meaning an execution date is imminent. <\/p>\n

The Colorado Supreme Court rejected Nathan Dunlap’s appeal, which was based on a lack of evidence regarding his mental state being introduced in his 1993 trial. Dunlap, who was 19 at the time, walked into a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant and shot four of his former co-workers to death; he also shot a fifth employee, who survived and later named Dunlap as the shooter. Dunlap was convicted of first-degree murder, attempted murder, robbery, theft and burglary and has made several attempts to have his death sentence overturned. According to attorneys, this was his last chance. <\/p>\n

An execution date can’t come soon enough for the families of the slain; Bob Crowell, whose 19-year old daughter Sylvia was one of the victims, said he just wanted to see it come to an end after so many years.<\/p>\n

“It left a big hole in our family, of course,” he said<\/a>. “And 13 1\/2 years is way longer than the process should take. Slow justice is no justice. Don’t get me wrong. I am not a violent type guy. I just think the public deserves justice.”<\/p>\n
