Charles Laverne Singleton, who sits on Death Row in Arkansas, will be given an anti-psychotic drug until he's sane enough to execute, thanks to a ruling by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. Since the Supreme Court has already ruled against the execution of stark raving mad lunatics, Singleton will be gradually brought through stages, from raving to clinically deranged to psychotically depressed to mad simple to mildly crazy to severely confused to merely disoriented. At that point he can be safely disposed of as a man who should have known better.
