The Penitent ThiefA Boy who had been taught by his Mother to steal grew to be a man and was a professional public official. One day he was taken in the act and condemned to die. While going to the place of execution he passed his Mother and said to her:
“Behold your work! If you had not taught me to steal, I should not have come to this.”
“Indeed!” said the Mother. “And who, pray, taught you to be detected?”

...have linked to Resendiz, who became known as the "Railroad Killer" because many of the attacks were near railroad tracks and because he was known to hop on freight trains to travel around the United States.
Flush twice, it's a long way from the execution chamber to the sewage plant.
She's in her own prison and not going anywhere.

How come Andrea Yates kills five children and gets to live while this idiot kills three unsavory characters and gets executed? Common sense says this isn't fair.
The latest Inductee into the Greater Huntsville Flatliners' Club. Everybody is dying to get in! May he and Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi split Satan's dance card tonight. May his victims rest in peace.
HANGMAN, n.
An officer of the law charged with duties of the highest dignity and utmost gravity, and held in hereditary disesteem by a populace having a criminal ancestry. In some of the American States his functions are now performed by an electrician, as in New Jersey, where executions by electricity have recently been ordered -- the first instance known to this lexicographer of anybody questioning the expediency of hanging Jerseymen.
The old softy!

I would like the answer to that too. Flawed system for sure.

Thanks, I had that info. Was thinking his was the 1st case that the Mex gov made a stink over because he wasn't allowwed to talk to Consular officials.
Nice neighborhood.
Detectives found ammunition in Reese's car that matched bullets found at the shooting scene.
I hope they had more than THAT as their primary evidence! I have pleanty of .45 ammo here, that doesn't mean I was at the scene! What were they "matching"?!
Sean Colston, one of the Tarrant County district attorneys who prosecuted Reese, said evidence was clear that Reese was responsible for the slayings.
Like what, Mr. "Professional" Journalist?
Reese grew up in Louisiana where he said he spent much of his childhood in state custody after his mother was sent to prison,
Apple. Tree.
Kimbrough, now 26, is serving a life prison term on a capital murder conviction. The three others, including the two juveniles who were charged as adults, agreed to plea bargains and are serving sentences ranging from 35 to 50 years.
Makes me wonder if he wasn't actually "the" shooter, and that his protestations had some kernel of truth to them. Maybe someone made a good plea bargain before he could.
Of course, with the felony murder rules, he didn't have to be "the" shooter to get executed, but it explains his seemingly sincere claims of "innocence".
Thanks!

I think that was this guy, Jose Medellin.
