(7/11/06 - HUNTSVILLE, TX) - Condemned murderer Derrick Sean O'Brien has been executed for the torture, rape and strangling of two teenage girls.
O'Brien is one of six gang members convicted in the 1993 slayings of 14-year-old Jennifer Ertman and 16-year-old Elizabeth Pena in Houston.
The US Supreme Court had been asked to block tonight's execution. O'Brien's defense argued there's no legal procedure for condemned Texas prisoners to challenge whether the drugs used in lethal injections could cause unconstitutional pain.

Ping to you.
Thank you Lord!
what took so long
Bye.
I'm going to be creating a ping list for Texas executions. Anyone who wants to be on it, let me know.
May you and your gang burn in purgatory.
God bless Texas, once again. Any word on what happened to his four co-defendants?
They're still on death row.
A black and white gang? What is the name of this gang?
Just watched it on the local news.
Later, Playa. Word.
If he had committed this crime just ten weeks earlier, he wouldn't have been eligible for the death penalty.
"Man, why ya'll Freepas be trippin?"
na na na na
na na na na
hey hey hey
goodbye
I am going to go light a nice Helix cigar and crack a Fosters in celebration of the demise of that piece of turd.
May you rot in hell, and may the devil strip you of that honorable Gealic surname and call you Castro or Amin.
Good....
What is "unconstitutional pain"?
I have a question about something. I would really appreciate an explanation from anyone, and I thank you in advance.
"O'Brien's defense argued there's no legal procedure for condemned Texas prisoners to challenge whether the drugs used in lethal injections could cause unconstitutional pain."
Q: Is 'pain' defined in the constitution? Is there 'constitutional pain' vs. 'unconstitutional pain'? If I go to a dentist and experience pain, which might it be? Menstrual cramps? Labor?
Thank you.
Not all of them...their sentence due to age was changed to life in prison. Thanks to the stinkin' USSC....ruling...
Great minds ;-)
