(Texas) State Carries Out Ninth Execution Of The Year
KWTX ^ | March 20, 2007 | KWTX

(March 20, 2007)--A Dallas man with a history of robberies was executed Tuesday evening in Huntsville for murdering a convenience store owner during a 1997 holdup.

The execution of Charles Anthony Nealy, whose 43rd birthday would have been Friday, was briefly delayed while the US Supreme Court considered his 11th hour appeal Tuesday evening.

The high court declined to block the execution.

Nealy was the ninth death row inmate put to death this year in the nation's busiest capital punishment state.

Nealy had at least three earlier convictions for aggravated robbery when he was accused of murdering Jiten Bhakta.

He also had an extensive juvenile record for shoplifting, burglary and theft.

And now,the rest of the story,
Summary of incident
On August 29, 1997 in Dallas, Nealy murdered a 25 year old Asian male clerk while robbing a convenience store. Nealy shot the victim, resulting in his death, then fled the scene on foot with approximately $4,000.

Goodbye to a terrible waste of skin.

Maybe Ohio should "get a set" like TX.

The pukes of Amnesty International have frequently reffered to our justice system in Texas as "A Conveyor Belt of Death".

To which I proudly reply, "Yes, Yes it is".

We put more scumbags permanently out of commission than any other state.

I don’t believe that the state of Ohio was at fault … the U.S. Supreme Court blocked their latest execution.

I'm no lawyer, but a couple of reasons for Texas' success spring to mind.

1. Automatic appeal. In Texas a death sentance is automatically appealed to our Court of Criminal Appeals. This is our highest criminal court. At first glance it may seem that this would slow things down, but what it really does is cut away all the intervening levels.

2. Federal Appeals. Federal appeals usually do not work for a few reasons. Texas has a LOT of experience in dealing with these appeals. Also, Texas prosecuters usually will not ask for the death penalty without a very strong case. Such cases stand up well on appeal.

3.Texas is a huge state, population-wise. In the 2000 census only California had more people. Tennessee is 16th in population. Naturally, with more people than Tennessee we are going to have more misfits total. That alone would result in more executions. If Cali was as conservative as Texas they could outstrip us in exections.

Thank you my FRiend!! I read about him on a DFW website earlier today. He said he didn't do it and I guess the jury said "We're gonna add his name to the esteemed list known as the Greater Huntsville Flatliners' Club!!!" $86 of my tax money well spent!!!
