Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

The letter read "This is Paul's first ear. If within ten days the family still believes that this is a joke mounted by him, then the other ear will arrive. In other words, he will arrive in little bits." Getty's health began to decline rapidly as his wound became infected, combined with pneumonia caused by the cold winter temperatures which were descending. His captors were alarmed at this sudden decline and gave him large doses of penicillin to treat the infection which caused him to develop an allergy to the antibiotic and further affected his health.

BirthFactDeath (-) Tuesday 14th of March 2000 24 years ago His Last Meal Was a Handcuff Key
Murderer Ponchai Kamau Wilkerson is executed by lethal injection at the age of 29 in Huntsville Prison, 815 12th Street, Huntsville, Texas, United States. On the day of his execution Wilkerson refused to leave his cell at the Terrell Unit prison near Livingston. Guards were forced to use Mace-like gas and carry him to and from the death van that took him to the Hunstville Unit. After the drugs were administered Wilkerson spit out an inch-and-a-half universal handcuff and leg restraint key.
