Larry Flynt Against Death Penalty For His Shooter
Larry Flynt says he wants Joseph Paul Franklin to suffer as he did but thinks life in prison is punishment enough.
The Hustler magazine publisher has been in a wheelchair since the shooting
Hustler magazine founder Larry Flynt has spoken out against the impending execution of the man who shot him.
The 71-year-old porn publisher, who was paralysed from the waist down in the 1978 attack and has been confined to a wheelchair ever since, said he wanted Joseph Paul Franklin to suffer but not die.
“I would love an hour in a room with him and a pair of wire-cutters and pliers, so I could inflict the same damage on him that he inflicted on me,” he wrote in a guest column for Hollywood Reporter.
“But, I do not want to kill him, nor do I want to see him die.”
