Re: Texas Judge on trial over execution.....

If the man was proven guilty, I don't see what the fuss is about. Seems like their only beef is that she went home a bit early and perhaps, that she is Republican.

Re: Texas Judge on trial over execution.....

Wow, I'm mixed on this. On one hand if the guy's been convicted of heinous crimes like that, off with his head. But then again her remark/attitude seems very callous when you are dealing with a life. Still....if he did it...

Personally, this little segment bothers me a lot more:

Re: Texas Judge on trial over execution.....

This appears to be the lawyers' reason for requesting a stay of execution: - "That morning the US supreme court had cast doubt on the constitutionality of using lethal injection - the form of death administered by Texas - by agreeing to rule on whether it amounted to cruel and unusual punishment."
