Pat McCrory said a man convicted of killing two young Charlotte police officers in 1993 should have been put to death by now.

At a debate on WTVD in Durham tonight, the Republican gubernatorial candidate noted that Alden Harden was convicted of killing Andy Nobles and John Burnette, but he remains on death row.

"This man still has not been dealt with," he said.

After the debate, McCrory told reporters that he had become good friends with Trish Norket, the mother of one of the police officers, and was working with her to overturn the state's moratorium on the death penalty.

McCrory was on the City Council when the shootings occurred and when Harden was sentenced a year later.

Why is Perdue against a statewide televised debate? This is why. Pat demolished her in the debate. Kaboom as batman would say. Hmm do you think Dan Blue would debate me?\
