TEXAS REALLY SHOULD GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER, THEY GO ABOVE THE LAW. PERIOD. NO WAY SHOULD THIS MAN BE PUT TO DEATH.HE SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY BE PAROLED. THIS MAN HAS SUFFERED LONG ENOUGH. ONE STATES LAW SHOULD NOT DIFFER FROM THE OTHERS. SHOTINGS AND KILLINGS HAPPEN JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER DAY IN THIS STATE {CONN.) THE KILLER IN THIS CASE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN 5 TO 10 ..THE MENTALLY ILL MAN PROBABLY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN TWO YEARS….WHERE’S THE EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL?

John Northrop,

Thank God you are not a judge. I say put a bullet in his head and be done with it.

I don’t see how justice is served by putting this person to death. I speak, though, as the father of a young man who suffers from childhood onset schizophrenia. There should be facilities for such people, as there used to be. Their judgment is extremely impaired. For our own failure to protect them and protect others from them they should be executed? Pretty sad.
