"Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty -- mine's putting in an express lane."

Medellin should have been dead long ago.

I guess they are waiting on a last minute SCOTUS appeal. I hope the SCOTUS affirms its decision earlier regrding foreign treaties, and recognizes that this murdering animal has exhausted all appeals and needs to be put away post haste.

The attempt by Mexico and the World Court and UN sickens and disgusts me. It is past time we have leaders that told these foreigners exactly where to get off.

It seems the US SC has stayed the execution, once again. I guess another minimal 90 day stay. Developing on local Fox news.

The Dallas Mourning Spews carries THIS story this morning:

Texas executes Mexican-born rapist, murderer

It’s an AP story, so I will just say

“HE’S DEAD, JIM!!!”

They did delay the execution waiting for last second SCOTUS
deliberations on his appeal.

They did a 5-4 decision to let this one get FLUSHED to where he needs to be!

Anywhoo ...

It’s off to work now.

Y’all have a great day!

[Ron H.]

Yeah, I heard it on the local news broadcast moments after it happened last night. It sure took long enough though. Justice was denied for 15 years but it was finally carried out, at long last. Now, let’s get that execution date set for the last one and that one will make it a hat-trick. You have a good day as well.

I take some small gratification in knowing that the delay resulted in more final hours of agony for this POS. Shudda told him that he was sure to be pardoned. Come lad lay down here and relax. OOPS! There's that pesky little needle. En caso de que el infierno hizo que viene?

Adios, mierda!
