So, if you had gotten more than $8......
And he had already carried out a carjacking. THAT may not be a capital offense. But, too late.

I can see his point.
So, I would imagine, would Yankee Jim.

Drugs are bad, mmmm-kay?

I just saw this on my 10:00 news. SMH.
Uh, fella, I don’t think it was the eight bucks that got you the death penalty...

I agree with him. He shouldn't have gotten this sentence.
He should be tortured in the prison cafeteria for a few days. Then executed.

HOUSTON (AP) A Texas inmate set to be executed Tuesday acknowledges fatally shooting a Mexican man who was robbed of $8 and had just moved his family to Houston, but insists he doesn't deserve to die for the killing 17 years ago. Yep, I agree. He shouldn't be dying over an $8 dollar robbery and a murder. That's because neither should have taken place.
I may not desire illegal immigration, but I do not support killing anyone, here legally or not.
Another point in his favor. He shouldn't be dying now...
He should have been executed long ago.

Boo-frickin’-hoo. As a Texan, I’m tired of paying for your room and board. So, bye.
BTW, since you only have a few hours left, you’d better be thinking about where you’ll be spending your eternity. Open your Bible and call a Bible-believing chaplain or someone who can guide you in the act of repentance.* DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!
*This is a luxury you didn’t extend to your victim. He didn’t have the time you’ve been given to repent.

At Garcia's trial in Houston, authorities tied him to at least eight aggravated robberies and two attempted capital murders in the weeks before and after Solano's death. No doubt he has lots of excuses for this, too. I was high on drugs. My father beat me. He hit me first. Blah, blah, blah. For the first time in his life, Mr. Garcia needs to start doing some long-term planning and figure out where he wants to spend his eternity. Excuses won't do at the pearly gates.

I got railroaded since I didn't take the stand (to testify at trial)."And if he had testified, he would allege that his lawyer messed up by allowing that. In other words, if the outcome is for capital punishment, the legal strategy must have been a mistake.
This is why there are multiple mandatory appeals. He lost all of those, too. Crying to sympathetic journalism majors a the last moment does nothing.

This is a luxury you didnt extend to your victim. He didnt have the time youve been given to repent. Per the article the victim was a Christian Missionary, so he's probably ok (absent from the body, present with the Lord).
You gave good advice to the murderer though. But given that he's flailing around with excuses, it doesn't sound like he's pursuing that route.

” he doesn’t deserve to die for the killing 17 years ago”
My question is why has he lived so long?
