TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A death row inmate is suing to get a vintage
Chevy pickup owned by the couple he is convicted of killing.
William Deparvine was sentenced to death in 2006 for killing
Richard and Karla Van Dusen. His lawsuit over their car has now
dragged on for two years.
The dispute is over a red 1971 Chevrolet Cheyenne truck Van
Dusen bought and refurbished in the late 1990s after he divorced.
He went to weekend car shows with it and won trophies. After he
remarried, however, he decided to sell the truck. Deparvine
responded to a classified ad he took out. A day after he met with
the couple they were found dead.
Despite being convicted of the couple's murder, he claims that a
bill of sale proves he owns the truck.

It seems to be another ploy to keep from keeping his appointment with the GRIM REAPER.These convicted murderers know no bounds in their effort to keep from paying the price.

Yeah this whole thing just kind of feels pointless. Like if he keeps dragging this on his death sentence will be extended? Oh well he is more likely to die of old age than die of his death sentence, he is already an older guy. It just shows that he is where he is suppose to be though. He could care less that the couple is dead, he just wants to get some attention, that’s how these idiots get their kicks.
