Custis has 12 felony convictions and a record dating back to the early 90s, according to NJ.com. He was released from jail in December after serving 10 months for a series of burglaries in New Jersey in 2011, the article said.

Custis was being transported Friday to an undisclosed location in New Jersey, Ambrose said.

He was charged with first-degree attempted murder, first-degree robbery, second-degree burglary and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, according to the prosecutor's office.

I'd wager you'd find it less traumatic to kill a home invader than to allow the home invader to kill your family because you failed to provide the necessary defense for your family.

everyone is different, doomforge. what would traumatize one person could be an everyday occurence to some. besides, some things can be gotten used to with repetition. then there's the compartmentalization trick. many soldiers, killers, etc, use it to distance themselves from what they have done.

out of the billions of people on the planet, and the billions of deaths that have happened on this rock called earth, it sure would be a shame if a p.o.s. criminal got removed from this mortal coil.

killing someone who is directly threatening you or you loved ones is pretty far from "bad", is what i'm saying. lives are only worth the good they bring to others. there are far too many useless, abusive people on this planet to worry about the loss of one, or even a hundred. how many innocent lives are taken by such people, doomforge? you think that they share your sense of morality? watch the video, and tell me that person, who is senselessly beating a woman who he has already dominated, for whatever purpose, is worth living. tell that to the little kid who had to watch their mother being beaten to **** by that p.o.s. human waste.

UPDATE: He’s dead. Good and dead. And as some predicted, no remorse. Sure, he fully admitted his crimes…but no remorse.

   Thug: Elroy Chester (28 at time of offense)
   Date of Execution: June 12, 2013
   Date of Crime: February 6, 1998
   Victim(s): Willie Ryman III (38) — This is the crime for which he is being executed, but Chester also admitted to killing four other people: John Henry Sepeda, 78, on Sept. 20, 1997; Etta Mae Stallings, 87, on Nov. 15. 1997; Cheryl DeLeon, 40, on Nov. 20, 1997; and Albert Bolden Jr., 35, on Dec. 21, 1997.
   Last Meal: A huge serving of Pentobarbital.
   
Final Words: ”Don’t hate me. I’m sorry for taking your loved one,” Chester said. “Elroy Chester wasn’t a bad man, I don’t care what anybody says. A lot of people say I didn’t commit those murders. I really did it.”

Stalked a 17-year old girl as a target for burglary. When he was sure she was alone, he cut the phone line to the house and entered through an unlocked door. He then forced the teenage girl (who was alone with her 1 year old son) to give him jewelry and other valuables. When her 14 year old sister and boyfriend arrived, he forced all three teens to strip and then  blindfolded and bound them with duct tape. He then raped both girls.

When their uncle, Willie “Billy” Ryman III — a local firefighter — arrived, Chester shot and killed him.

Uncle Billy (as the girls called him) undoubtedly saved the lives of those three kids. After shooting Ryman, Chester went outside to see why Ryman’s car engine was still running. He fired five shots at Ryman’s girlfriend in the passenger seat (luckily she was not hit). When he tried to go back into the house, the teens had already locked the door and shot back at Chester with one of their grandfather’s guns.

Talk about a guy who needs kill’n:

   Investigators contend that the events surrounding Ryman’s murder were the culmination of a six-month spree of criminal activity in which Chester burglarized at least five residences, sexually assaulted two people, murdered at least five people, and fired shots at no fewer than five others.

   Among the crimes, Chester eventually confessed to committing during this period were the burglary and homicide of John Henry Sepeda, killed as he awoke in bed while Chester was robbing his home; the murder of Albert Bolden, the killer’s common-law brother-in-law, for setting Chester up on a date with a woman who turned out to be a transvestite; the burglary and homicide of Etta Stallings, also shot to death in her bedroom while Chester robbed the home; and the murder of Cheryl DeLeon, a former co-worker Chester was accused of sexually harassing years before he ambushed her outside her home and shot her in the head.

Even the death-penalty-hating, thug-loving Lefties at the Austin Chronicle admit that “Elroy Chester was the worst one-man crime wave Port Arthur had ever seen.”

   To say that Chester was a difficult client to defend would be an understatement; transcripts from the sentencing hearing reflect that Chester had little, if any, rapport with his defense counsel. Against the advice of his attorney, Chester opted to testify on his own behalf, delivering a rambling and inflammatory rant wherein he claimed variously that he hadn’t acted alone in committing his many crimes, and that if sentenced to death he would have his “homeboys” on the outside commit additional crimes in his honor, and that he should’ve killed additional victims – including a 10-year-old who had survived his attack, and a police officer who had previously arrested him for burglary.

Is it any wonder that the jury deliberated for only 11 minutes (a record that still stands today) before sentencing him to death.

Of course, the Chronicle parrots Chester’s defense that he’s retarded and thus shouldn’t be executed.

Some folks are just no good, and so filled with evil that the world is a better place without them in it. Elroy Chester is at the top of that list.

Yes, but Texas is wilder compared to even rest of the US. Now, since they are the ones so loose on death penalty, you might have thought it will have some kind of effect at least on crimes that are punishable by death, but as we can see, death penalty has absolutely no effect on crime rate and they keep executing them like a sausage factory produces sausage.

Also revealed within the Times study, but not pointed out by them,: "One-third of the nation's executions take place in Texas—and the steepest decline in homicides has occurred in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas, which together account for nearly half the nation's executions." (4)

And, the Times also failed to mention that the major US jurisdiction with the most executions is Harris County (Houston, Texas), which has seen a 73% decrease in murder rates since resuming executions in 1982 -- possibly the largest reduction for a major metropolitan area since that time.

Also omitted from the Times review, although they had the data, is that during a virtual cessation of executions, from 1966-1980, that murders more than doubled in the US.
