Poetic Justice?

Worthy of a Darwin Award? always assuming he gets the death penalty.

A US man who thought he was dying and confessed to having killed a neighbour in 1977 has been charged with murder after making a recovery, US media say. 

James Brewer could now face the death penalty over the unsolved killing in Tennessee 32 years ago, reports say. 

Convinced he was dying after a stroke, Mr Brewer reportedly admitted to police he shot dead 20-year-old Jimmy Carroll. 

The 58-year-old, who had fled Tennessee after the killing, was arrested after his condition improved, reports say.

"He wanted to cleanse his soul, because he thought he was going to the great beyond," said police detective Tony Grasso, who interviewed Mr Brewer in an Oklahoma hospital.

Well he may just be getting that thought into reality now.
