Wow. The trial started yesterday, and highlights a 70 second final argument by the prosecutor and a 10 minute jury deliberation leading to a guilty verdict. Justice is sometimes VERY swift in Texas.
This guy committed a heinous murder of FIVE family members. I have a feeling the jury won't be too sympathetic and will likely deal out a DP tomorrow.
“My body started wanting more crack,” he said. “I knew if I asked my wife for more money, she wouldn’t let me have it. I knew she’d argue with me about the money, just like we had in the past.”
Instead, Mr. Ochoa got his 9mm semiautomatic handgun from a closet. “The gun was already loaded, and I walked into the living room where my family was. I started shooting while they were all sitting on the couch … I don’t remember who I shot first. I ran out of bullets.”
Mr. Ochoa returned to his bedroom to reload, then found his daughter, Crystal, trying to run away. “I chased after her, and I shot her,” he told police.

If the Death Penalty is used too much then prison guards might not be neccesary.
What will the prison guards do if they lose their jobs?
What about their children?

Since they can't fry him 5 times, maybe they can start with each limb. Cut one off, throw it in the fire. As it gets extra crispy, go get another!

He screwed up. He should have been born a woman. Then Katie Couric would be raising money for his defense.

Mr. Ochoa said the shooting began because he wanted more crack. “My body started wanting more crack,” he said. “I knew if I asked my wife for more money, she wouldn’t let me have it. I knew she’d argue with me about the money, just like we had in the past.”
