It was a crazy situation. He he reverted after being sentenced to death and became quite devout. He became very close to two lib priests after they saw some of his writings on his faith in the death penalty published somewhere. Neither agreed with the death penalty, nor did he initially, but they counseled him through the process where he came to accept the punishment, which culminated in a formal determination by the bishop of Norwich that he was not sinning or committing suicide by doing so. Prejean met with him right before his first execution date and failed to talk him out of it, but fought against him in court and secured a temporary stay. When he got to stay overturned, she publicly and personally called out his attorney and demanded he refuse to cooperate. She attacked the attorney for refusing to do so. Ross finally died about 6 months after their meeting. I crossed paths with Ross when they transferred him to Somers for the first aborted execution, and I met some of the Sisters of Mercy who were working with Prejean at Gates CI a few months later right before the execution. It always seemed so bizarre that they went as far as to try to deprive him of counsel in the name of his dignity lol. I should write about this at length I guess since I had such a weird vantage point for it.
