Rosendo Rodriguez, who turned 38 a day before the planned execution, was set to be put to death by lethal injection at 6 p.m. at the state's death chamber in Huntsville.

If the execution goes ahead, it would be the seventh this year in the United States and the fourth in Texas, which has executed more inmates than any state since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976.

Attorneys for Rodriguez filed a last-minute appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking judicial review after they questioned the integrity and findings of medical examiners in Lubbock relating to the autopsy on the victim, Summer Baldwin, 29.

   Great day to die in Texas.

Obligatory Ron White standup:

In Texas we have the death penalty. And we USE it.

That’s right, if you come to Texas and kill somebody, we will kill you back. That’s our policy.

They’re trying to pass a bill right now through the Texas Legislature that will speed up the process of execution in heinous crimes where there’s more than three credible eye witnesses.

If more than three people saw you do what you did, you don’t sit on death row for 15 years, Jack, you go straight to the front of the line.

Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty … my state’s puttin’ in an express lane.

They just had another morbid crime in TX. unspeakable, really. Sure, here is the boisterous attitude we hear sometimes, could be turned around. Those Texans need to abide by the law.

Lax gun laws and the death penalty? Well, I do admit, the crime wave has come down.

Obligatory Ron White standup:

Oh, isn't that cute, well, who the heck, said they came to Texas, you a-hole, they may be born and bred in Texas.

   @TomSea This azzhole was either from Mehico or from up North somewhere, regardless WE killed him, dead.  If he did come from up your way we'll send you the bill..

[Frank Cannon]

saying her death could have come from a trash compactor and not from their client.

LOL. Can they stick a needle in this lawyer while they are getting rid of garbage?

Since there has only been 1,402 executions in the past 42 years and almost 800,000 murders in the same time span, we need a lot more executions to take place.

We can start with the 2,800 that are right now on death row.
