Smart move.
This is totally unfair and unconstitutional. They should execute the clergy (if convicted) JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!
I’m thinking executions take far to long. If convicted in court and especially if you plead guilty to a capital offense, you should be dead before you leave the courtroom.
Who cares if he wanted a Buddist “preacher” in the chamber. That just highlights to God and Jesus that he worshiped false idols and gods, not a good send off for anyone wanting Heaven.
Patrick Murphy is the next to last living member of the so called “Texas 7” who escaped in 2000 and murdered a police officer while on the run in Irving. He was already serving a 50 year sentence for rape when the breakout occurred.
Typical state response. Don’t like a religion ban all ministers.
Easy to control the people in the chamber. Been to 6 places with death rows in 6 states.
People here fall for a bureaucratic section too easy.
Lastly and counter point notice the judge did not stop corrections from banning, just equal. Usually in court security needs trump everything else.
And that’s the way you do it.
If they haven’t made amends before they enter the chamber...oh well.
No imam for Major Hassan? Can he cuddle with an emotional support pig while they kill him?
The Holy Spirit knows no physical boundary, so, there’s no need for a medium to be physically present in the killing chamber.
Also, there’s no need for anyone to be killed by the state, in this day and time in this technologically advanced nation. This is not to say they don’t deserve death, of course.
