AUSTIN – Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott offers the following information about Lamont Reese, who is scheduled to be executed after 6 p.m Tuesday, June 20, 2004.
On March 1, 1999, Reese participated in a gang-related shooting that resulted in the deaths of three men.
After members of a gang made fun of his girlfriend outside a Fort Worth convenience store on March 1, 1999, Lamont Reese and three of his friends returned to the store to shoot the gang members. At the store, Reese shot and fatally wounded 17-year-old Riki Jackson, 25-year-old Alonzo Stewart and 26-year-old Anthony Roney.
Following the shooting, Reese and his friends returned to his girlfriend’s home, where they bragged about their crime. One of the men told another man who had not participated in the shooting that Reese had shot three people with an assault rifle. Reese did not dispute this statement. Reese boasted that he got the men who were at the pay phone at the store.
On the heels of his arrest, police impounded Reese's vehicle and found five live cartridges in the glove compartment. The cartridges were identical to several live rounds of ammunition discovered at the crime scene.
While in jail after his arrest, Reese approached the jailer and asked if he was classified as a “celebrity inmate.” The jailer responded that Tarrant County had no such classification, but instead classified appropriate inmates as “high profile.” When he assured Reese that he would check on his classification, Reese announced, “Hell, I killed three people.”
Nice find. The fool must have thought he was in my state.
I'm in Florida and I advocate trial and execution for people who kill five children. Andrea Yates being one of them
A lot of people feel that way. I'm glad I wasn't on the jury.
"Those who are kind to the cruel will be cruel to the kind"
Did his victims have a choice about their "straight-up" murder?
Hail to Texas !!!
It's not kindness.

Because she really was nuts. The insanity plea was truly and genuinely meant for people like her.
Reese's innocence claim was not based on the fact that one of the other passengers actually shot the men to death. Reese claimed that he was elsewhere at the time of the shooting -- a claim which the jury rejected.
And Resendiz, the Railroad Killer from Mexico, had a voter registration card in his wallet when they arrested him. Yep, he was a registered Democrat in St. Louis.
So if you are a certified crazy (Andrea Yates) you get a form a affirmative action where you don't get tried and executed when you kill five children. But if Mr. X shoots and kills five children in a playground he will end up being executed
In a word, yes.
That's what ya get for being a braggart. LOL
And you know this is not justice, especially not justice for the 5 children killed by Andrea Yates
