(HUNTSVILLE, Texas) — A black man convicted of a double murder in Texas 16 years ago was at least temporarily spared from lethal injection when the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review his lawyers' claims that race played an improper role in his sentencing.
The court on Thursday halted the execution for Duane Buck, 48, two hours into a six-hour window when he could have been taken to the death chamber. Texas officials, however, did not move forward with the punishment while legal issues were pending.
The "race card" again? Texas has killed more inmates than any other state and will give you the death penalty for ONE murder, black, white, yellow, whatever...but HE got the death penalty for TWO murders ---- because he's black. Uh huh. The judge ought to charge his lawyer for even bringing the BS up in court.
ReplyDeleteAnother nutty statement. You don't disappoint.
