Dead Man Walking

Sheriff Jim R. Schwiesow, Ret. / NewsWithViews.com:
The story is that when a condemned convict has finally exhausted his appeals, stays, and pre-execution pleas and is making that final walk to the execution chamber his last faltering steps are marked by these echoing words, "Dead man walking." The words are chilling and at the same time prophetic as they mark with a certainty that soon - very soon - the vital physical functions that sustain life and animate the being will be terminated and he will go from life to death and exist only as a memory.
