In 2005, President George W. Bush ordered Texas and other states to review the 51 convictions. But Texas' then-solicitor general, Ted Cruz, now a senator, persuaded the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that the president had no authority to order state courts to defer to the World Court....................I didn't know this about Cruz.like Cruz even more now.

The defendent killed a cop in a closed (locked) vehicle. There is no way of claiming he wasn’t guilty (same with the shot on the scene Ft. Hood shooter).

The pro-murderer advocates are alledging that he didn’t get a fair trial and thus does not deserve the death penalty.

“world court” is always the last ditch effort of anti-american types. Even al sharpton pulls this junk. CNN and PMSNBC will pick this up.

anthing to mess with texas (pun intentional)

Generally he had to invoke his consular protections at the start. However most nations defer in death cases. Only when it comes to extradition do they force the usa to take death sentences off the table. Since the USA had him in custody there was no need to defer.

refused to provide meaningful consideration of evidence that Mr. Tamayo has mental retardation

Not going to be held legally accountable for your actions (such as a gun rampage)? Then you have NO right to roam freely about (even prior to violence). You MUST have a court appointed legal guardian keeping you under house arrest or institutionalization. Chaparoned at all times when out of the house.

If it saves one life...

Death Penalty is on it’s way out the door IMO. This issue of pharma companies refusing to sell execution drugs to the states is going to eventually kill it.

Mental retardation? He shot a Police officer in the back of the head three times.
He's a Murderer and deserves his punishment no matter what his mind is like.

This is EXACTLY one huge reason why many of us busted our humps to get TED CRUZ through the Primary process and then the election to become Senator Cruz.

I have said it before and it bears repeating: I want to see TED CRUZ become Senate Majority Leader one day, soon. That is where we really need him.

As I posted on another thread om this topic: Every day when I go to the post office here in my small Texas hometown, I pass by a wanted poster in the post office lobby for the illegal alien that ran a red light, t-boning a USPS vehicle, killing the postman driver. The illegal alien ran away back to Mexico and he has never been caught and made to answer for his crime. That was better than 10 years ago, so when I see these Latino law beakers demanding they be given anything and everything as their right, I see that dead postman.

Paragraphs help.

Come 6:00 pm CST or shortly there after we’ll know if the
execution took place as scheduled for today, 1-22-2014.

If he was sufficiently mentally competent to enter our country illegally, commit armed robbery, conceal a gun from a cop who knew he was armed, and then shoot that cop in the back of the head three times, he’s sufficiently mentally competent for lethal injection.

“The Texas clemency process is the weakest in the nation, in the state that executes the most.”
I’m reminded of Texan Ron White’s comment-”Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty...mine’s putting in an express lane”

Recidivism
http://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=tp&tid=17
During 2007, a total of 1,180,469 persons on parole were at-risk of reincarceration. This includes persons under parole supervision on January 1 or those entering parole during the year. Of these parolees, about 16% were returned to incarceration in 2007.
Among nearly 300,000 prisoners released in 15 states in 1994, 67.5% were rearrested within 3 years. A study of prisoners released in 1983 estimated 62.5%.
Of the 272,111 persons released from prisons in 15 states in 1994, an estimated 67.5% were rearrested for a felony or serious misdemeanor within 3 years, 46.9% were reconvicted, and 25.4% resentenced to prison for a new crime.
These offenders had accumulated 4.1 million arrest charges before their most recent imprisonment and another 744,000 charges within 3 years of release.
Released prisoners with the highest rearrest rates were robbers (70.2%), burglars (74.0%), larcenists (74.6%), motor vehicle thieves (78.8%), those in prison for possessing or selling stolen property (77.4%), and those in prison for possessing, using, or selling illegal weapons (70.2%).
Within 3 years, 2.5% of released rapists were arrested for another rape, and 1.2% of those who had served time for homicide were arrested for homicide.

They also forgot to add in about his trouble childhood and that he was getting his life around by working at a fast-food court so he could pay child support to his ex-girlfriend’s baby and that he loves kittens and puppies.

Maybe this will help with our illegal immigration problem. Come to Texas, commit the ultimate crime and pay the ultimate price. Unlike Mexico, our police and judges will not accept a bribe to let you free.
