(March 6, 2007)--The head of a notorious prison gang who allegedly approved more than a dozen killings in San Antonio during the 1990s heads was put to death just after 6 p.m. Tuesday in Huntsville.
Mexican Mafia chief Robert Perez was executed for the Alamo City hits on Jose Travieso and James Rivas 13 years ago.
He was the seventh prisoner Texas has put to death this year and the first of two in as many nights.
Appeals were exhausted for Perez.
A lawsuit on his behalf challenging the Texas execution procedures was dismissed in a Houston federal court last week.
Perez already was headed for a federal life prison term on racketeering and conspiracy convictions for a series of robberies, drug deals and murders in San Antonio from 1994 through 1997.

TDCJ-ID #449259 originally received on a 10-year sentence from Bexar County for 1 count of Attempted Voluntary Manslaughter with a Deadly Weapon (stabbed a 38-year old Hispanic male numerous times in the heart and stomach during a domestic disturbance); 8/6/90 released on Parole; 7/1/92 returned from Parole; 10/01/92 released on Mandatory Supervision.
See, the early release system does too work.
Is the sarcasm tag really needed?
A late Texas Execution Ping!
Instead of an Execution, call it a Late Post-Partum Abortion and even the libs will support the procedure.
Golly, I miss him already
The libtards are deeply saddened.

Seriously, it is well that another scumbag no longer pollutes the air with his breathing. Let him 'assume room temperature.'
