The American Civil Liberties Union faces mockery and scorn after complaining that a man who raped and murdered two people, including a 14-year-old girl, was not provided with a sex change operation before his execution in Florida.
Duane Owens was executed on Thursday for murdering a 14-year-old babysitter Karen Slattery, and Georgianna Worden, a 38-year-old mother of two, in two separate murders in 1984. Children were sleeping in both homes when he committed his heinous killings — and later raped his victim’s corpses.
CBS News reports, “Slattery was repeatedly stabbed and raped in a home in Delray Beach while two children in her care were sleeping. The children weren’t harmed during the attack.”
“Two months later, in May 1984, Worden was sleeping in her Boca Raton home when Owen struck her several times with a hammer and raped her, according to court records. One of Worden’s children found her body the next morning while getting ready for school, according to the record,” the report continued.
Owens attacked two other women before he was captured. They survived.
