This monster kidnapped a 12 year old girl and murdered her, God knows what else. He should have been executed the morning after he was found guilty by a jury of his peers. Justice shouldn't take 28 years

You have to understand that state legislators don't want to face the death penalty if someday they decide to murder someone. That's the only 'logical' reason to end the death penalty.

Agree! Justice should be swift when there's no doubt about who the killer is.

The death penalty is evading the responsibility of America for creating so many vicious killers. Is this another case of the lack of social programs needed to prevent the worst outcome for both the killers and even more so their victims?

Social responsibility is far less expensive than the American way of the death penalty. And what is more important than a wallet?

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

As there is no doubt about his guilt, justice should have been dispensed long ago.

That would be most convicted of murder. What we have is the tail wagging the dog again.

How about the fact that hundreds of people on death row, were found to be innocent when DNA evidence exonerated them.

the problem is the appeal process. the defense will only appeal 1 aspect at a time... that is why it takes forever. when the appeals are exhausted, then justice finally prevails. yes, there should be AN appeal - that is constitutional. or if the family of the victim does not want them to fry, but if they want the animal gone from the earth, then they should have that peace.

He admitted killing her. He confessed and even taunted the family. He should be dead, dead, dead.

Couldn’t agree more.

We should have a special track for death penalty cases (if we’re going to have a death penalty).

Way too much of a delay between sentence and the carrying out of the death penalty. I personally do not feel we should have a death penalty but if we’re going to have one, it should be a deterrent equally applied. The current system doesn’t serve justice.

This. That's a lot of years, a lot of state money for housing, food, healthcare, and the fact he was drawing in oxygen that could have been better used by others.
He should have been put down a long time ago. There was no doubt about his guilt.

When there is no doubt as to who the killer is, there is no reason for them to sit in a prison cell for decades (much less years). No doubt means they admitted to the crime, DNA backs that up, there could be witnesses that saw it, video evidence, etc.

For those with no proof of evidence where probable cause comes into play, I could go along with them sitting in prison.

For the killer in the opening post, he should have been executed a LONG time ago - 7 days after sentencing wouldn't have been soon enough.

Death penalty cases are rarely caught on tape. It's based on circumstantial evidence.

hundreds?

really?

absolutely a point made. - but DNA technology has been around for some time & certainly CSI has advanced scientifically & now we are all devise attached, which means there's usually filmed evidence of some kind or something goes viral & people speak up.

Texas barred use of DNA evidence to exonerate executed criminals. And limited use of DNA to exonerate people on death row.

 

[whitehall]

Why is Army Major Nadal Hasan still alive when the whole freaking Country saw him murder 13 American Soldiers? The short answer is that the Military seems conflicted about executions and hasn't executed a death row inmate since 1961.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

He should be sentenced to multiple executions.

that doesn't surprise me in the least - but what do you want? it's texas. the same' pro life ' state that puts up barbed wire that rips to shreds humans so they don't enter it.
