I wonder what actual damages the wife alleges. It’s not like her husband had an earning potential.
Richard, 49, was executed at 8:22 p.m. for a 1986 rape and murder.1986. Rape. Murder.
His execution was long past-due.
Counter-sue this woman for wasting the time of the court with frivolous law suits and slap her lawyer with a huge, huge fine.
No kidding ... from the tone of the article, you'd think he was innocent; pure as the driven snow.
Well - if this works, does it mean we are free to sue the judges who let guilty people walk or the parole board who releases someone who goes on to commit more crimes - maybe even murder. This is a door that the law can’t afford to open.
Don’t know anything about this particular case, but from a point of view of pure statistics and numbers Texas has to be executing innocent people here and there.
Was his stint on “Seinfeld” really that bad??
No he was executed over the “N” word incident.
Well honey, what time did the office OPEN???? Seems your lawyers had all bleepin' day to file an appeal. When you wait til the last minute you suffer the consequences.
I don’t know. The professor in the story said judges have immunity from every aspect of their court behavior but not administrative. It seems like the wife’s appropriate target would be her attorney who failed to allow for delivery contingencies in the appeal. His case was truely one of life and death and he allocated time as if it were a real estate settlement.
That is what I was thinking - 20 years and it comes down to a filing deadline....I don’t think so. This is called grasping at straws over her guilty husband.
Well you have all the DNA stuff setting many convicts free, but this makes us look petty. But this is just a by-product of the Abortion culture. Don’t want a baby, kill it. Don’t want to work late on a friday night, kill him.
Oh really? I guess it could also be said that ‘From a point of view of pure statistics and numbers, you’re probably a troll on FR’.
Judicial candidate Randall Kallinen takes on right-wing zealots
Snort.
Her husband commits rape and murder, and she has the gall to whine about his final moments of physical discomfort and to sue a judge over it?
The appeal was based on some Supreme Court action that occurred that day. It's sort of hard to appeal in the morning based on something that hasn't yet happened.
And suddenly the wife is on stage in front of America after 20 years of appeals; etc. I smell; “I’m gonna make some money”.
