And now,the rest of the story.

Summary of Offense:

Duane Buck was convicted of the July 1995 shooting deaths of his ex-girlfriend Debra Gardner and another person in Houston. An early-morning quarrel between Buck and Gardner led Buck to return to Gardner's home several hours later with two rifles. He forced his way into the home and began shooting indiscriminately.

The first person Buck saw inside the home was his own sister, who he shot in the chest. He then shot and killed Gardner's friend, Kenneth Butler.

Buck chased Gardner out the back door and into the middle of the street as her young daughter begged him not to shoot her mother. Buck shot Gardner and left her bleeding in the street. Witnesses saw Buck laughing as he stood over her body and heard him say, "The bitch, she deserved it."

Buck was taken into custody at the scene. His sister survived the shooting.

Buck was sentenced to death in Harris County in June 1997.

So you are zayinnnnng he did, in fact, unlawfully and wantonly take someone’s life, like...uhm...murdered him?

And that’s against the law or being found guilty of such and sentenced appropriately?

Bunch-O-Bigots here on FR.

Buck was granted a stay by the SCOTUS back on September 26, 2011.
That stay was later removed.

But, shouldn’t the power to over ride a Supreme Court decision be GIVEN to our wonderful First Lady?

So a black guy kills or attempts to kill 3 other blacks and the sentence is based upon racism.

Wouldn’t racist have set him free and told him to go kill three more blacks?
