"Alabama Murderer Waives Appeals, Requests Execution for Victims' Families' Justice"

Derrick Dearman, a convicted killer on death row in Alabama, has decided to drop his appeals and seek execution for the murders of five people, including a pregnant woman, in order to provide closure and justice for the victims' families. He expressed remorse for his actions, citing drug addiction as a contributing factor, and has already chosen a spiritual adviser. Dearman's decision comes after the Alabama Supreme Court upheld his six murder convictions, and he has reached out to the families of his victims to express his intentions.
