Buh Bye Ronald.
Where else but the USA can you be sentenced to die, and live for 30 years on the taxpayers nickel??? Do you think they last 30 years in Venezuela or Commie China ???
I do agree with Chambers' attorney - on one thing.
His client has been on Death Row for way too long.
The bastard should have been executed decades ago.
No. You are there because you are a stone hearted murderer...
Chambers, who grew up in the Dallas public housing projects, worked as a house painter and was a new father when he joined Clarence Ray Williams in the robbery, abduction and killing of one college student and the beating of another.
...when Chambers and Williams carjacked Mike McMahan, 22, a mechanical engineering student at Texas Tech University, and Deia Sutton, a University of Texas at Arlington student.
McMahan and Sutton had been with friends at a Dallas club. On their way out, they were confronted at gunpoint by Chambers and Williams, who forced their way into their car. Williams drove to a levee on the Trinity River south of downtown Dallas, where the captors pushed the couple down an embankment.
Chambers ordered them to stop near the bottom, then fired five shots at them. As Chambers and Williams walked back up the hill, McMahan called to Sutton to see if she was OK.
Chambers pummeled McMahan in the back of the head 10 to 20 times with a shotgun as Williams choked Sutton and tried to drown her in the muddy water. Chambers also pounded her three times with the shotgun. Then they left.
Hell no, it isn't, if it's held off for 30+ years.
Oh yes, we owe you something. Sorry it took so long to give it to you.
Although I have mixed feelings on the death penalty, it is ridiculous that a person stays on death row for years and years. I understand folks going for an appeal etc.---but the system is quite broken. I thought DNA would solve many of the dilemmas.
Two lawyers(liars) were able to retire on money from the the public dole shuffling papers in this case.
OJ ring a bell?
Well, its about time this bum joined the Tookster.
"Chambers' patience hasn't wavered", what a guy
Despite all that spare time he's had, he still didn't learn basic English in prison.
Perhaps he only wanted to 'make a difference' in the world.
