...12½ years in prison for dragging a man to death

I thought they had the death penalty in Texas for convicted murderers.

I agree, 12 1/2 years for murder. Just read tonight where I guy in N. Carolina was released after 34 years for stealing a black and white TV. There is something really screwed up with the judicial system in this country.

Texas does..... This was a Federal prosecution not a State prosecution under Texas law.
