Mississippi may execute Henry Curtis Jackson Jr. in June
by R.L. Nave
May 18, 2012 Jackson received the
death penalty in 1991 for stabbing his two nieces and two nephews to
death. Court papers indicate that Jackson killed the four children “in
an attempt to steal money kept in his mother’s safe in her home.”
On Nov. 1, 1990, Jackson’s mother went to church with several of her
grandchildren while Jackson’s sister, Regina, babysat the younger
children.
Jackson parked his car two blocks away, walked to the house and cut the
phone line, then knocked on the door. Inside, he picked up the phone
and told Regina it was dead. Moments later, he grabbed Regina by the
throat and demanded her paycheck and the combination to their mother’s
safe.
When she said she didn’t have any money and didn’t know the safe code,
Jackson “pulled out knives and shoved them into her throat and waist,”
court documents say. Another relative, 11-year-old Sarah, jumped on
Jackson’s back. During the struggle “Jackson told them that he had to
kill them.”
Sarah pleaded with Jackson to take the safe and leave the house. Over
the next few minutes, Jackson stabbed Regina and Sarah several more
times, and stabbed and killed Regina’s 2-year-old daughter, Shunterica.
That night, he also killed three other young relatives: 5-year-old
Dominique, 3-year-old Antonio and 2-year-old Andrew. Sarah survived by
playing dead. Regina and a 1-year-old relative, Andrea, also survived
the attacks. After a manhunt, Jackson surrendered to police Nov. 5.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Mississippi authorities are
preparing to execute a man convicted of fatally stabbing his two nieces
and two nephews, who ranged in age from 2 and 5.
Henry Curtis Jackson Jr. was
convicted of killing the children in his mother's home while she was at
church on Nov. 1, 1990. Jackson's adult sister, Regina Jackson, and two
other children survived the attack.
Regina Jackson, who lost two
daughters to the attack, says she plans to meet Monday afternoon with
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant to ask him to spare her brother's life.
Their mother also says she has forgiven him and hopes his life is
spared.
Court records say Jackson planned to steal his mother's safe and stabbed the victims when he went to the house that day.

Sisters want brother who killed their kids spared

This is a April 11, 2008 prison photograph taken at the Mississippi
State Penitentiary in Parchman, Miss., and released by the Mississippi
Department of Corrections, of Henry Curtis Jackson Jr., who is scheduled
to die by lethal injection Tuesday, June 5, 2012, for the stabbing
deaths of his two nieces and two nephews, ages 2 to 5. Jackson killed
the children when he went to his mother's home looking for money from a
safe on Nov. 1, 1990.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Two women are asking Mississippi's governor to spare their
brother from execution, even though he killed four of their children,
paralyzed another and stabbed one of the sisters.
Henry "Curtis" Jackson
Jr., 47, is scheduled to die Tuesday by injection. He killed the four
children, ages 2 to 5, during a rampage that started when he went to his
mother's home in Leflore County to take money from her safe on Nov. 1,
1990, court records say.
His mother was at church that day, but Jackson's adult sister, Regina Jackson,
was at the home with her two daughters and four nieces and nephews.
Regina Jackson was stabbed five times. Her two daughters and two nephews
were stabbed to death. Another niece was so severely injured that she
was paraplegic until her recent death.
Regina Jackson told The Associated Press that she was meeting with Gov. Phil Bryant
on Monday and would plead for her brother's life. She also wrote Bryant
a letter last month asking for a reprieve, saying she doesn't want her
brother to get out of prison and that she "just can't take any
more killing."
"As a mother who lost two babies, all I'm asking is that you not make me go through the killing of my brother," she wrote.
She told the AP in a telephone interview that she has forgiven her brother
over the years. "If they kill him, they're doing the same thing that he
did. The dying is going to have to stop somewhere."
Another sister and her husband, Glenda and Andrew Kuyoro, have also asked
Bryant to spare Curtis Jackson in a letter dated May 15.
The couple said they have tried for years to understand why Jackson
attacked his relatives, and they know their questions may never be
answered, but that they surely won't if he dies.
"We are the victims in this case, and we are begging you not to let Curtis
be killed. You can keep him in Parchman forever, but please don't put
our family through this horrible execution," the Kuyoros wrote. "We are
not asking you to take pity on Curtis, we're asking you to show US
mercy. We have been through enough."
Curtis Jackson's attorney, Robert Davis Jr. of Tupelo, filed a clemency request with Bryant's office last week.
Bryant's spokesman, Mick Bullock,
confirmed that the governor met with Curtis Jackson's relatives at a
state office building in Jackson. Bullock said the governor "is
reviewing the facts associated with this case and has no further comment
at this time."
Bryant, a Republican and former deputy sheriff, has not granted clemency to a condemned inmate since taking office in January.
Cliff Johnson, a Jackson attorney helping the sisters, said Monday that the case is
unusual because the victims are asking for clemency for the attacker.
"Much is said about the importance of respecting the rights and wishes of
victims and their families. This case raises a very important question:
Are we committed to honoring the wishes of victims' families when they
ask for mercy, or do we hear those voices only when they ask for
vengeance?" Johnson asked.
Jackson has appealed the case over the years but hasn't been successful. He has
said he doesn't remember stabbing the children, but testimony from his
trial describes a horrific scene.
He cut the phone line before going in the house, according to the court
record. Once inside, he demanded money and attacked his sister.
One of the children tried to help, but he stabbed her, too. At some point,
Regina Jackson tried to fight him off with an iron rod, but he grabbed
one of the children and used her as a shield.
Regina Jackson testified at trial that she was in and out of consciousness
after being tied up and stabbed in the neck, but she could hear her
brother dragging a safe down a hall. The noise woke up 5-year-old
Dominique, one of her daughters.
"Regina testified that Jackson called Dominique to him, told her that he loved
her, stabbed her, and tossed her body to the floor," according to the
court record. "Jackson returned to Regina, stabbing her in the neck and
twisting the knife, at which point she pretended to be dead until she
heard him leave."
Jackson turned himself in to the West Point Police Department
and confessed to some details. He was convicted and sentenced to death
on four counts of capital murder after a trial in September 1991. The
trial was held in Copiah County after Jackson's defense attorney
requested a change of venue.
His mother, Martha Jackson, said Monday that she has forgiven her son and plans to visit him before the execution.
"If I don't forgive him, God don't forgive me," she said.
Martha Jackson said she's not sure if she'll watch the lethal injection, scheduled for 6 p.m. at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman.
