Re: [CTRL] Fwd: Death penalty issue for Bush
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Anyone who knowingly kills someone else probably is mentally ill in a sense, but that shouldn't free them of the ramifications. That's the system, live with it, or die by it. If you're not interested in being killed by system, don't kill. This article is a bunch of leftist malarkey. Jamie http://www.vny.com/cf/News/upidetail.cfm?QID=58231 Protests fail to halt Texas executions Tuesday, 18 January 2000 15:11 (ET) Protests fail to halt Texas executions HUNTSVILLE, Texas, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- Despite protests, Texas prison officials plan late Tuesday to carry out the first of six executions scheduled in the next two weeks. Spencer Corey Goodman, 31, is scheduled to receive a lethal injection shortly after 6 p.m. CST for the 1991 murder of Cecile Ham, 48, the wife of Bill Ham, manager of the rock group ZZ Top. Ham was beaten to death after her car was stolen from a Houston drug store parking lot. Her body was found in South Texas. Goodman was arrested about a month later following a high-speed chase along mountain roads in Colorado. He wrecked Ham's car after driving it over a low cliff. He later confessed to beating Ham to death for her car. Goodman, a two-time felon, was supposed to report to a half-way house in Houston on July 1, 1991, the day before the slaying. Instead, he walked away and pulled the carjacking the next day when he said he grew tired of walking in the heat. On Monday, a group of anti-death penalty protesters rallied at the state Capitol in Austin, asking Gov. George W. Bush to halt the six executions. They were angered by the accelerated pace of Texas executions, and Friday's execution of Larry Robison, who they say is mentally ill. Linda Edwards, a Bush spokeswoman, said Bush supports the death penalty and will not interfere with the courts. He has presided over 113 executions since taking office. He cannot commute a death sentence unless the Texas Boards of Pardons and Paroles recommends the action. Robison, 42, received the death sentence after he was convicted of killing and mutilating five people in Fort Worth in 1983. His attorneys argue that he is insane and should not be executed. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has rejected his claim. Carl Villareal, a founder of the Austin chapter of Campaign to End the Death Penalty, said Bush would not be a front-runner in the presidential race if the public knew his record on the death sentence in Texas. "If people knew that he believes justice is being served by killing the mentally ill, but ignoring them when they need health care, then I am sure that Bush would have no political future," he said. If Goodman is executed, he will be the 201st convicted killer executed in Texas since the state resumed the death penalty in 1982. The state carried out 36 executions last year. -- Copyright 2000 by United Press International.

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: Death penalty issue for Bush
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Maybe you could take this seriously if they had been interested in going after the executioners of the children at Waco and the legal execution of a little 8th grade boy and his dog, and his mother then executed by the great FBI/BATF...and remember as Norman Mailer once wrote "the executioners son"these boots were made for walking as they walk across the face of America. Yes this is just crap..they want to save a man who chopped up bodies and murdered the innocent? Sounds like this is Clinton's Henchmen...part of the CYI Distraction Club... I will not get into that battle...if the want to protest the death penalty, fine..did they protest abortion of babies now sold for profitin the baby body parts racket. No as the assassins of Waco and Ruby Ridge, they heap crocodile tears upon the killers, and forget the slaughter of the innocents. What is wrong with this picture? Well, propaganda often has hidden agenda.so light their candles and pray for their souls, for they are not playing with a full deck of cards.and the joker is wild.
