berry connell 3 years agoGo figure, it’s Texas.
Have they run any ‘last words’ before doing a life sentence for having pot, yet?
That would be around a few hundred statements, I think.
(and can you believe all the furor over one person getting 18 extra months in Burma when these guys are doing LIFE?) -

Andi Chrisman 3 years agoI’m easily moved by people’s last words; in that, I refuse to read this and feel any sympathy for those that committed such heinous crimes. I don’t want to know their last words and I don’t think they should have the honor of me reading them.

Michael M. 3 years agoI’m sorry, “sad?” I don’t find their last words sad. When you start to feel bad that these people are getting the needle, read the description of the crime for which they were convicted. One example (among countless other heinous acts) follows:
“On October 11, 1997, Salazar murdered a 28-year-old hispanic female. Salazar crawled through a front window of a private residence. He tried to sexually assault the victim when she woke up. Salazar then stabbed her multiple times in the chest when her 10-year-old son heard her screaming. The victim’s son rushed to his mother’s aid and was stabbed one time in the chest. Her son was able to get up and run to a neighbor’s house and call the police. When they returned to the home, they found the victim unresponsive on the bedroom floor with multiple stab wounds to her chest area. A kitchen knife was lying on the floor by her head. The victim’s 2-year-old daughter and 4-month-old baby were also in the bed with her.” -

Darrell Davis, Jr 3 years agoIf one can’t muster a basic sense of compassion and mercy for powerless, defeated and caged men, then consider that the guilt of at least two of those men (well, one man and one boy), Ruben Cantu and Cameron Todd Willingham, is seriously suspect. I think if Americans ever begin to ask themselves whether they’re so bloodthirsty that they’d rather risk killing an innocent man than to risk letting a guilty man live, we’ll have national abolition.

Ehren 3 years agoHenry Porter: …What I want people to know is that they call me a cold-blooded killer when I shot a man that shot me first. The only thing that convicted me was that I am a Mexican and that he was a police officer… Richard Jones: I want the victim’s family to know that I didn’t commit this crime…

regginyag 3 years agoWhy are they even given this right? Reading over their convictions, a lot of these murderer’s victims would have died screaming and in the company of only their killer. No last meal or statement on record or final message to loved ones. These murderers should be given a method of execution equal to that of their crime, with an hour of torture multiplied by their number of victims to be dealt out every Christmas until their execution.
