AUSTIN, Texas — A Texas man who was convicted of killing an 8-year-old girl in the 1980s and then run out of several towns following his early release from prison has been indicted on two new murder charges, including one that could carry the death penalty, prosecutors announced Friday.
Raul Meza Jr., 62, was arrested on murder charges earlier this year in the deaths of his roommate in May and a woman in 2019.
Decades earlier, Meza caused an uproar in Texas towns where he tried settling down after serving about a third of a 30-year sentence in the rape and killing of 8-year-old Kendra Page. He was released in 1993 with credit for good time served.
After picketers drove him out of six cities, Meza directly pleaded to the public.
“In my heart, I know that I will not willfully bring harm to anyone,” he said during an August 1993 news conference, in which he described himself as a born-again Christian and not a threat to society.

Instead of executing him, they eventually let him out of prison.
He tried to find a place to live, but protesters in 6 different cities drove him out.
After those 6 cities drove him out, he was interviewed on TV, where he said, "In my heart, I know that I will not willfully bring harm to anyone."
The gullible but well meaning citizens of Austin believed him, and they let him live there.
While living in Austin, he murdered two people.
“The gullible but well meaning citizens of Austin...”
Highly doubtful they were either gullible or well meaning.
10 years for rape and murder of a child. Insane.
Will this parole board if anyone is left do the right thing and resign.
FERAL ANIMAL!!
Execution of convicted murderers is the only way to prevent them from committing another murder.
The death penalty would also have kept him from harming anyone again as well.
Anyone who rapes and kills is essentially irredeemable. Especially a child.
The gullible parole board that fell for his lies should be executed...
Austin -- the LA/SF of Texas. Sigh.
Nah. Execution is too expensive. I'd settle for imprisoned for life as accomplices...
LOL - might work...
The parole board who let this vile creature out of prison should be in jail.
Is it that parole boards attract people to be on them who are LIB nitwits or what?
Has the Texas legislature fallen asleep?
.
I’m bothered by the phrase “has been indicted on two new murder charges, including one that could carry the death penalty”, why didn’t the other two murders carry the death penalty?

I have granddaughters 8 and 6 and if someone did anything like that to them jail would be the absolute safest place for the perp to be. Fact.
