Terri Beens voice shook as she read a long text message from her niece.
I had a nightmare about my dad last night, Paige Rowan told her aunt in the text.
Rowan described a dream in which she watched helplessly as the execution needle pierced her fathers skin.
She woke up screaming, panicking and feeling hopeless, she told Been.

Stupid judge. Hadaclue was asking a legitimate question about the law. His honor should have simply explained that it would depend on whether the jury finds the nuns knew the bus driver was going to rob the 7-11.
Then it would have been up to the prosecutor to decide whether he wants to use up one of his peremptory challenges.
Judges today have thin skins and huge egos.
A major reason why our entire legal system is in full-on meltdown.
I can’t think of the guy’s name but he was another Texan who was on death row back in the 1970s. The death penalty was banned by the government so we had to let out the monsters who had served the number required number of years if they’d been given a life sentence. Anyway, this guy got out and within days murdered a young woman around Waco. Texas learned a valuable lesson and reinstated the death penalty in 1976. There’s one guy here who’s been on death row for nearly 30 years so Texas isn’t quick to use the needle. Many have a better and longer life behind bars than on the streets.
No, he asked an obnoxious hypothetical question in no way related to the case before the jury, a question that had the potential to confuse the other jurors.
Good point! “Hitler never personally harmed a single Jew.”
St. Paul was VERY CLEAR on the penalty for MURDER. The
Old Testament Law of Moses was crystal clear.
THOU SHALT NOT KILL.
Add this to the list that need to die. . .horribly:
The one time I got called for jury duty in Harris County (Houston, Texas), it was for a violent offense. During voir dire, I was asked if I could excuse violence against a known convicted felon - my answer was absolutely. Was asked how/why? Said, ok, say I’m a drug dealer, and some other drug dealer wants to cut me out of business, and decides to rape my sister to show me he “means business and I can’t protect my family”. I find out about it, either before hand (preferably) or afterward. I then kill the son of a bitch because he raped my sister. Had nothing to do with my slinging drugs, he got just punishment for rape.
The judge just stared at me a few seconds and asked if anyone else felt the same as Mr. Dreaming, to which a few did, and then we were all excused.

“I will personally pay for that shot, voluntarily and without regret.”
Agree.
And by doing so we save the surviving friends and family from paying to support the murderers as they live a life with free food, medical care, air conditioning, library, high school and free college education, TV, etc. . .the surviving family and friends suffered enough and to make them pay to keep alive the soulless black-hearts is the final insult and must not be permitted.
“The system is set up for government to make money off of crime, while the aggrieved party gets nothing but heartache.”
Not if the aggrieved party invests in some of the prison stocks. The stocks are publicly traded, so anyone can benefit from the prison industry.
Not picking a fight, but jury duty is right and responsibility of free Americans that our founder fathers enshrined in the Constitution (Sixth Amendment).
I teach my federal government students that they should honor their responsibility to serve on a jury and not joke about ducking a right our founding fathers protected and viewed as a solemn duty of sovereign citizens.
The “system” fails when citizens shirk they duty to serve on a jury. (OJ).
Again, not picking a fight, just offering a different perspective.
“It was Dallas County. It happened.”
What?
I don’t recall a busload of nuns being indicted.

The Good Olde Days!
The day after Mayor Anton Cermak had passed away, Zangara was brought back into Room 630 for his second arraignment. The sentence of death by electrocution was reached on March 10th, 1933.
Shortly after 9:00am on Monday, March 20th, 1933, Zangara was strapped into the electric chair and prepared for electrocution. His last words were Pusha da button. Go ahead, pusha da button. At 9:27am, Giuseppe Zangara was pronounced dead. It had been exactly 33 days since the shooting in Bayfront Park to Zangaras execution. The five weeks that culminated in the electrocution of Zangara was considered by many the swiftest legal execution in 20th-century American History.
That is why we have juries.
Then I’d say yes. He participated fully. In this article it makes it sound like the accomplices backed out of the plan and he remained in the truck. How misleading.
In Hebrew, the 5th Commandment reads more like “Thou shalt not commit murder.” Killing, as in butchering meat or participating in war is in no way prohibited, nor is the judicial execution. To argue otherwise is sophistry.
I have the gun in my hand. I kill kings and presidents first and next all capitalists. |
33 days from trigger pull to button push.
I was simply relating what happened to me when I was called for jury duty. I was just one of a pool of fifty. I had a question. If I cannot relate a true story and not get flamed by all the egotistic bass turds, this site is not for me. F U all.
