Twenty years. In some states he would have been out on parole already.

“...convicted of killing an 83-year-old relative over $30...”

Good riddance and burn in hell, on a rotisserie.

Your thread is about Texas, but still had to do a hit against POTUS Trump.

Trump lives in their heads.

As Paul Harvey would have said, Texas killed a killer.

He told police another man named James lived in his head and blamed the murder on this other personality.

..........................................

Note*..... James was also executed.

Texas maintains a website for its Death Row that has some very interesting info on it. Among other things they list the last statements of those who've been executed.

Having read a fair number of them I'm surprised by how many admit their guilt and express remorse. Of course not *all* do but I'm surprised that *any* do.

I wonder if they made the guy wear a mask and a face shield while they killed him?

Jones, meanwhile, is Black.

Meanwhile to what? A couple of years later underground? An urn on a mantle place? He killed his aunt. who meanwhile was black.

He was convicted 20 years ago

I'm all for reviewing the trial and making sure he's guilty, but no way it should take 20 years.

I know I’ll get lit up for this, but here goes. If the average IQ for the entire ethnic group is well below 100 is there any who could not claim intellectual disability?

Jones also filed a lawsuit against the parole board Wednesday, accusing it of racial discrimination.

Everything is racist.

In this case the state got a "buy one get one free" deal!
