State District Judge Kevin Fine
State District Judge Kevin Fine
Kevin Fine is also an admitted former cocaine addict, and how Texans could have elected him to the bench is beyond me. Look at the eyes on that guy. He is lost.
Judges who subsitute their own opinions for the law in such an obvious manner should be quickly removed from office.
...nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law
The day that my congregation was led to pray for the end of the death penalty was the day I left my church.
He claims that because he was a drug addict he is a better judge regarding drug trials.
As one contributor to the comments said:
Ergo: Muderers would be better judges in homicide trials, pedophiles better judges in child molestation trials.
Yeah...really makes a lot of sense....but then Judge Fine is a democrat.
He’s a Soetoro sanctioned plant.
What a horrible joke on the justice system. And Judge Fine is most certainly misnamed, there is nothing fine about him.
What Tattoo parlor does he work for. That looks to me like the only thing he is probably expert on.
His ruling should be held null and void by a Judicial panel and he should be removed from the bench, and placed as the Tattooed man in a Circus where he belongs.
Cruel and unusual punishment? Try the chair with a dry scalp, guillotine, or firing squad.
Muscle relaxants are most certainly not cruel and unusual. It’s definitely the most humane way to be put to death.
Also can’t be sentenced to death without................... a hearing and fair trial.
Texas Supreme Court wil smack him down on this, guaranteed.
The due process argument is to be expected, as it is invoked virtually every time a law is vitiated. And whenever it isn’t, its 14th amendment cousin in elasticity, “equal protection,” is. What is puzzling is the 8th amendment argument, which I’d think would be a non-starter, given the fact that the very same constitution that outlaws “cruel and unusual punishment” implicitly accepts death as a normal punishment.
What with cultural evolution and changing mores, it could come to pass that at some time in the future execution will become unusual. But, you know, executions have to actually stop, at some point, for that to happen. I don’t remember a recent death-free interim, do you?
Well for God's sake, he had due process. It's called a TRIAL...duh
I pray that this "Judge" never experiences a personal tragedy that is known by this family....and now he is heaping it on trying to keep their loved one's killer alive?? Insanity...
Calling Judge Howard, Judge Fine, Judge Howard...
Goodness. I can smell him from here.
The same folks who wrote the Constitution hung traitors.
End of story.
Every person in a position of authority believes that they are ordained to “change things!” In short, hyper-individualism or the “I’m a God syndrome.”

In before the Tattoo and Trailer Trash crowd gets here to defend this guy. (Or at least defend his tattoos)
Typical self-absorbed leftist.
