Unfortunately, three of the other gangbanger rapists got life sentences. One, 14 at the time, is serving up to 40 years. The other two were sentenced to death, but were minors (barely), and the USSC overturned their sentences.
“Life” is not “life” in Texas. Eventually, those animals will all be released back on the streets.
When this case was tried, there was no life without parole in TX. The TX legislature enacted life without parole this last session.
