Justice is done.
Terminal ZOT applied.
Justice is served.
Give Tookie my regards.
9 Years from crime to execution? That's gotta be some kind of record.
Texas! It's a whole 'nother country.
Isn't justice wonderful?
Really? Seems like there are three other people out there who got away with murder.

It's a real shame, I tell you. If he had gotten that money free and clear, he would have gone into business with the other guys. They were planning to buy Toys-'R-Us. They were going to open it under the franchise "We-Be-Toys".
Too bad they can't revive him and then execute him again.
I'm impressed that the turn around time was less than nine years but I certainly hope there was forensics evidence to finger this man, not just the testimony of his co-conspirators. Given the lack of conflict the SCOTUS had about this, I would presume there was some iron-clad proof (other than the ATM card which only proves robbery, not murder) but the reporter did not want to divulge this.
Well, too late to change anyone's mind now.
Not to imply anything but seven months for aborting a child is faster ... it pains me that people make all sorts of effort to save some murderer and yet demand the death of a child in less than eight months .... this is not against what you wrote but in how "fast" he was executed from conviction ....

Great News! Thanks for posting.
It proves more than robbery, it proves kidnapping. And as you know, commit a felony and somebody gets killed, well that is felony murder.
Another good one.
God Bless Texas!
Wasn't McVeigh about 6 years?
