Amazing how many Christians are on death row.

But how many were either actually atheists upon entering or didnt practice their faiths? And how many were deathrow conversions?

I would surmise none of them were practicing, faithful Christians or were atheitsts to begin with.

There's like 2. That's still underrepresentation, I say!

I'm surprised how many people apologize to the victim's families. Not as many "I'm innocent!" or cursing the system as I thought there would be, either.

Wow, Texas has executed three people this month alone? Don't mess with Texas!

Nope, I'm pretty sure we lead the nation in executions per year and also in the efficiency with which we take the trash out.

waste tax money? it costs more tax money to appeal their sentences to every court than to put them to death. let them sit and think about their fate in my own opinion.

Not if their gone that quickly it doesn't. I bet most of the ones executed rather quickly had such overwhelming evidence the appeal was merely a formality. There is no other explanaiton when it is only 4 years from offense to death.

Yeah, quick execution always means the person was guilty. WTF are you smoking? The *other* explanation that you missed was that they were railroaded, or that evidence existed that pointed to them, yet they still didn't commit the crime. Innoncent people being executed is nothing new. Not even in 2006.

You know, people who murder also sometimes get life imprisonment. How is that fair when people guilty of the same crimes die?

But this is what he had to say as his "last words":

"Jane, Grace and all of you all, I know you think I did this, and I'm sure you think this is wonderful in you eyes. But, let me tell you something, there were two DNA tests run and none matched me. I wanted a third, but that never happened. Three people at different times confessed to killing these people - your parents. They did not know me. My request is that you get yourselves in church and pray for forgiveness because you are murdering me. I did not kill anyone in my life. If you will look at your house and the police report, there are several bullet patterns shot into the West wall over the bed and the East wall and North wall and your sister was in the front bedroom while 30 shots were fired. There's no way in hell she would have laid in that bed. If you think I did this, you need to think again. There were three people in the house and have confessed to it. Larry Ashworth in Fort Worth killed seven people. All I was asking for was a DNA and I could not get it. But get in church and get right with God. Jane, you know damn well I did not molest that kid of yours. You are murdering me and I feel sorry for you. Get in church and get saved. I really don't know what else to tell you. "


Talk about weird.

Who cares about being fair to a murderer? So long as they all suffer I don't really care.

Haha, that website had some funny murders there. The best was the one where one guy kept having business ideas and they kept failing. The other guy got pissed off that he was losing all sorts of money so he kills him, ties him up, drops him into a waste container, fills it with concrete, and dumps it in the bottom of a lake. Almost sounds like something you'd see in a Columbo episode.

"I am an innocent man."

Leonel Torres Herrera was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1982 murders of two police officers. New evidence was brought forward which proved that Herrera's brother committed the murders. By Texas law, which states that any new evidence must be presented within 30 days of the conviction, this new revelation was irrelevant. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Texas ruling, arguing that Herrera's claim of "actual innocence" was in itself not a constitutional claim for which judicial relief could be granted. Thus, though the court agreed he was innocent, Leonel was executed on May 12, 1993.

Unless Texas is still hanging people, it is more expensive to execute someone than to have them serve life in prison.

I bet you wouldn't roll your eyes if it was you or a loved on on Death Row and they were innocent. Are you denying that innocent people aren't on Death Row or that we haven't executed innocents? I'm sorry, but my conscience doesn't allow for me to believe that as being ok. I think society has an obligation to itself and its members to prevent such things. In addition, I don't think mentally challenged (and I mean significantly) or mentally disturbed individuals should be executed, either. You have the same state doctors testifying in every trial that the guy is as smart as a whip or not a bit mentally disturbed all the while quietly ignoring their prior diagnosis by other physicians or tests that show mental capacity.

There are not two difference opinions. No one likes a murderer whether it is the state or an individual, it is just that some people look past that for their own personal glee.

I dunno how good of a case that is. There's some pretty damning evidence that he did commit the crime. I do think the Supreme Court had a screwed up opinion, but this wasn't a clear cut case of innocence. His dead brother's attorney and cellmate provided affidavits. Kind of hard to reverse a decision based on an affadavit from a dead man's attorney. The Supreme Court was right that such appeals (getting someone to take the blame for a death) would really harm our justice system. I think if there was a little more evidence then he could have secured a pardon. The evidence points to Herrerra being guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. I'd feel much differently if those issues had been raised at trial instead of a last ditch appeal. That being said, if he was actually innocent it was a travesty.

Check this out

"Holberg robbed and murdered an 80 year old white male in his home. The victim was struck with a hammer and stabbed nearly 60 times. The weapons used were: a paring knife, a butcher knife, a grapefruit knife, and a fork. A lamp pole had been shoved more than 5 inches down the victim's throat."

Psycho.
