I am sick of the State of Texas Justice system! This article click2houston.com/news/4223929/detail.html
make me sooooooo sooooo angry!!! This boy dies after the man is relased after only being in a mental hosptial for 4 months! Four Months!!! for a convication of killing his sister BEFORE he killed the 6-year old boy. What is wrong the state of Texas’s Justices system and the justice system in general? If he had stayed in the hospital a little longer a little boy might still be alive today. This is the 3rd major case of a child dying or being injuried by a family member that had prior violence. The other two were 6 month old babies being raped by their mother’s boyfriends. click2houston.com/news/4166328/detail.html One is still in the hospital fighting for his life. In all the cases the state has failed the childern. The childern are our future but their innocenes was taken away. Will the states do nothing to protect the childern? We most do everything to protect them.

God Bless

Actually, if it was REAL Texas justice, someone would have put a .45 hollow point in his skull.

I don’t think you can hold Texas responsible; the doctors, the hospitals and the state are all held captive by laws, lawsuits and lawyers who insist that people cannot be held, don’t need to take their meds if they don’t want to and simply will not face the fact that whether the person perpetrating heinous crimes upon the innocent is legally mentally sick or just criminally inclined their victim is just as wounded or dead.

Society has a right to be protected, heavn knows we are taxed heavily enough to buy it, but to no avoil, continued criminals out on “probation”- and those who shuld never be released are out on the streets. It not Texas, the entire justice system needs an overhaul and ur view to defending the innocent needs to begin to take precedence within it.

Capital Punishment
Code: 
                         Accepting the need to maintain peace in society, the Church               has allowed the possibility that capital punishment may be used               as a last resort in extreme situations. However, Pope John Paul               II has stated that 'as a result of steady improvements in the organisation               of the penal system, such cases are very rare, if not practically               non-existent.' (ibid.) This statement of the Pope is exceedingly               strict and shows a development of the Church's practical judgement               on this matter. We welcome the fact that the United Kingdom has               completely abolished the death penalty and made an international               commitment to its permanent abolition by ratifying Protocol 6 of               the European Convention on Human Rights. **The abolition of capital               punishment bears witness to the sanctity of life and helps a society             to become more consistent in cherishing every human life**.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church has this to say about Legitimate Defense and the Death Penalty:
Code: 
           2265 Legitimate defense can be not only a right but a grave duty               for one who is responsible for the lives of others. The defense               of the common good requires that an unjust aggressor be rendered               unable to cause harm. For this reason, those who legitimately hold               authority also have the right to use arms to repel aggressors against               the civil community entrusted to their responsibility.
2266 The efforts of the state to curb the spread of behavior harmful to people’s rights and to the basic rules of civil society correspond to the requirement of safeguarding the common good. Legitimate public authority has the right and duty to inflict punishment proportionate to the gravity of the offense. Punishment has the primary aim of redressing the disorder introduced by the offense. When it is willingly accepted by the guilty party, it assumes the value of expiation. Punishment then, in addition to defending public order and protecting people’s safety, has a medicinal purpose: as far as possible, it must contribute to the correction of the guilty party. 67

2267 Assuming that the guilty party’s identity and responsibility have been fully determined, the traditional teaching of the Church does not exclude recourse to the death penalty, if this is the only possible way of effectively defending human lives against the unjust aggressor.

If, however, nonlethal means are sufficient to defend and protect people’s safety from the aggressor, authority will limit itself to such means, as these are more in keeping with the concrete conditions of the common good and are more in conformity to the dignity of the human person.

Today, in fact, as a consequence of the possibilities which the state has for effectively preventing crime, by rendering one who has committed an offense incapable of doing harm - without definitely taking away from him the possibility of redeeming himself - the cases in which the execution of the offender is an absolute necessity are very rare, if not practically nonexistent.

Read the article. The boy was killed last April. The hospital stay was after the killer had killed his sister back in 1998. He would have had to been in the hospital for 5 years or more to be still in the hospital last April.

Statements like that in bold, above, are testable – we can SEE if the state’s means of “rendering one who has committed an offense incapable of doing harm” are effective.

In this case, obviously they were not.
 
There is an old phrase: “Hard cases make bad law”. This very easily may be an application.

It is easy to say, “See, he went out and did it again”. But it is not easy to see, before the event; the cases we hear of are the ones where someone mentally off, having killed once, does so again after release.

What we don’t hear of are the cases where someone mentally off and having killed once, is released and doesn’t kill again; it is a non-event, and non-events aren’t reported.

Doesn’t matter to me that it was 5 years ago. He shouldn’t have been let out after 4 months. How does someone get treatment for insanity after 4 months? He committed a violent crime. He needed more help then the state was able to give him. He should have been checked up on. Instead he was released and went out and harmed a child. It’s not just him but a problem with the system.

As far as capital punishment goes the state of Texas is trying to change it’s ways. There is bill in the Senate trying to give juries in Texas the choice to add “life without parole” as an option in sentencing. That is the one of the biggest reason why juries give the death sentence. Juries don’t want to see a murder get out. They want that person to stay behind bars and with the penalties now “Life” just means a min of 40 years. Thats not good enough for some of the crimes. Hopeful this change will also help our realtionship with Mexico. Right now Mexico will not give back and citizen who returns to Mexico if that person MIGHT face the death penalty.

God Bless the childern,
