What suffering her family went through.
16 years of waste??
In rural Goliad Texas, the town square hosts the county court house. On one side of the square, there still stands the old oak hanging tree.
The court would make a judgement, the guilty would be taken outside and hanged. Ten minutes max.
No meals, no appeals. You’re guilty, you die.
Life was so much simplier in the late 1800’s!
For all Eternity...
stop? let?
Keep it moving and toss him off... kinda like tossing him off a bullet train and wide open throttle.
His attorneys should be executed first to demonstrate that no pain is caused...

Awww, poor baby!
Too bad he can’t be tied to a post and lashed to a bloody pulp by the poor lady’s sons. I don’t think my whip hand would ever tire.
He’s been consuming oxygen for 16 years to many.
Take away the peoples 2nd amdmt. rights and these home invasions will soar. Bet on it.

We need to bring things back as near as possible to that old time justice. Until then, criminals and their lawyers will not fear the power of the people, which must be exercised through the court system. Instead, they will see ordinary people as powerless and the labyrinthine justice system as a game to be 'played'. Plea bargains, phony appeals, bribes and even extortion of jurors are common. Bet they didn't have much of that in the 1800's!
Now I am going to read a Louis L'Amore western I'm in the middle of. It's called Tucker, and describes in accurate detail the western attitudes and practice of justice back then. Thank God for Louis L'Amore!
Absolutely correct. I would not take your bet.
I’m o.k. with that.
In my minds eye, sitting on death row for 16 years is the quintessential definition of cruel and unusual punishment.
If only she had gotten to her own revolver before the animal did....
I inherited about 65 acres of the home-place and have the area that has a hanging tree on it too. It was just to the south of the Old Spanish Trail and now is just off SH 21.
**How long has it been since your state executed a vicious criminal?**

Wow, that must suck.
