Two of those fellows who dragged James Byrd to death over in Vidor, TX, got the death penalty. I don't remember whether either has been executed yet, anyone else remember?

I wonder if their pictures were included, and whether James Byrd's name was included in the list of victims. Probably not if no execution has yet taken place. But wouldn't that put the liberals in a state of cognitive dissonance.

In the interest of full disclosure I will point out that I am uncertain about the death penalty, but I agree strongly with a prior poster - if you disagree with capital punishment, don't live in Texas and by all means don't commit a capital crime here.

As best as I can tell Shawn Allen Berry and Lawrence Russel Brewer haven't had their sentences carried out yet.
