HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court refused last-day appeals from convicted killer Jesse Joe Hernandez, clearing the way for his execution Wednesday evening for the 2001 beating death of a 10-month-old boy he was baby-sitting at a home in Dallas.
The high court ruling came about two hours before the 47-year-old Hernandez, who previously was convicted of a child sex offense, could be taken to the Texas death chamber for lethal injection. The justices' order was brief and did not include an explanation for their decision.
The execution would be the fourth this year in Texas.
Ten-month-old Karlos Borja had a skull fracture and bruises to his head, thigh and abdomen when he was taken to a Dallas hospital in April 2001. A week later, he was taken off life support and died. His 4-year-old sister had similar beating injuries to her head, ears and eyes but survived.

I’ve visited the website of Texas Department of Criminal Justice and it’s amazing what info you can find there regarding those on death row and those who’ve been executed.With those who’ve been executed you can see,among other things,the “last statement” the condemned makes.I find it interesting how many acknowledge their crimes and express remorse and apologize to the victim’s family.Yes,many claim that they’re innocent and what’s being done to them is wrong but a surprising (to me,at least) percentage don’t.

Joe, I hope you've made your peace with God because your face-to-face meeting is long overdue.
Remember, this is Texas, we'll kill you back.

Texas is supposed to be an example of capital punishment done right
I don't really see that as the case, but rather another example of the law being exercised capriciously, inequitably and usually obscenely delayed.
Isn’t this just an example of post-birth abortion? Shouldn’t he be eligible for a Harvard faculty position in the Medical Ethics department?
