Karla Faye Tucker was an execrable POS. Her murders were brutal beyond belief.
Bush did the right thing.
“Bush did the right thing”
Bush couldn’t stop it anyway. The Texas Gov can only give a 30 day stay and the parole board decides again.
I remember her case from when the crimes were first reported. By the time they were getting ready to execute her, much was made of the fact that Tucker had become religious, and somehow should not be put to death. If she did find Christ, that's great. But I thought it was unseemly of her to expect clemency because of a conversion (real or feigned) that occurred years after the (brutal) murders.
If she was truly saved, then it meant she was going to a better place. It did not mean she should not be executed for her crimes.
