The state's highest criminal court will not intervene in a Dallas County death penalty case despite another man claiming responsibility for the 2008 shootings.
James Broadnax was sentenced to death in the 2008 killings of Stephen Swan and Matthew Butler outside their Garland music studio. Broadnax's cousin, Demarius Cummings, was also convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.

The one making the “confession” is in prison for life and probably cannot be charged again. He loses nothint by “confessing.” This is not a new tactic. Lifers are solicited for fake confessions sometimes.
Let’s not jump to any conclusions, execute them both
Both of them deserve execution. Public hanging or TV broadcast electrocution would be most effective in discouraging future murders.
“Let’s not jump to any conclusions, execute them both.”
Agreed. Both should have been executed years ago.
