(April 11, 2007)—James Lee Clark, 38, was executed just after 6 p.m. Wednesday in Huntsville for the 1993 slaying of a 17-year-old high school honor student.

Denton High School student Catherine Crews was raped and shot to death just days after Clark was released on parole after serving a burglary sentence.

Also killed was a 16-year-old classmate of Crews, Jesus Garza.

Clark was charged but never tried for Garza's death.

1993. Fourteen years on the taxpayers’ money.

Nice.

Texas Execution Ping!

I doubt this thread will get much attention. Everyone is too busy ranting and raving about Imus.

Up a week from today is Cathy Henderson for the murder of a 3 month old child.

He’s no longer a menace to society and he is no longer producing CO-2 through respiration.

Everybody’s happy.

The way the process goes that's actually pretty quick.

Can Texas sell carbon offsets based on the remaining thirty plus years that Clark could have expected to live? If so there may well be a very good reason to speed up the appeals process.

As opposed to the 40 years or more most Death Row inmates get? Assuming they ever get executed.

Texas sure knows how to have a Barbi -Q. Its a shame other states don’t have the balls Texas has. Bully for you big T. Taken em out one dirtbag at a time!

Yeah! I have to give my opinion soon about whether I want the fellow who killed my dad to go through a sentencing retrial or if I would go along with a plea bargain of natural life. Because of the way the process goes, I am almost leaning toward the plea, just so I never have to hear about him again.

The lesson to be learned here is: Burglars should never go free.

We need a "Catharine's Law." If we'd had that, Catharine would still be alive.

My God be with the family of the young girl he murdered.

Is that life without possibility of parole? If so, just let him rot in prison. You could always have him "taken care of" at any time, if you know what I mean.

Sorry to hear about your father. That sucks.

Surely the protesters were marching with their lit candles — something they never did for the victims.
