Texas Cop Killer Gets Death Sentence After San Antonio Detective's Execution-Style Slaying

A Texas man who fatally shot a San Antonio police officer twice in the head in 2016 was sentenced to death on Friday.

Otis McKane, 36, was found guilty of capital murder July 26 in the execution-style slaying of Detective Benjamin Marconi.

McKane claimed that Marconi, a 20-year veteran, was a random target of his anger but prosecutors said the defendant had been stalking the detective and planning his "heinous and unspeakable" murder, according to the San Antonio Express-News.

The Bexar County jury deliberated for 7 and a half hours Friday before recommending the sentence. It took less than 30 minutes for the jury to find him guilty, according to the Express-News.

McKane killed Marconi, 50, on a busy street in front of witnesses while the detective was writing a ticket during an overtime shift, the Express-News reported. The murder was caught on security-camera video.

In most states that is true. Texas, on the other hand, often times, tends to fry these dudes, quicker than most states.

McKane is now 36, I’m guessing he will be a minimum of 46 before his deserved fate is carried out. In almost any other State that had the death penalty, I’d add a minimum of 10 years with doubts about ever!

Imagine what a better world it would be if the perp was exexcuted the day after the sentencing.

Since we are imagining, wouldn't the world be better if we classified all sexual assaults on children as death penalty cases?
