i have something of a morbid fascination with people who have been executed or are awaiting execution. my personal opinion is that i am all for putting those people that have commited capital murder to death. we currently have a capital murder trial going on out here in little ole marshall, tx...
here is a tidbit from an article in the local paper today...
"The capital murder trial of Cortne’ Mareese Robinson was abruptly interrupted Tuesday morning when a relative of victims, Frank and Arnola Zabokrtsky, bolted across the courtroom, trying to tackle Robinson after watching a video of him sitting in a patrol unit, ranting how he should’ve killed Ms. Zabokrtsky when he had the chance."
the only person, so far, to have been executed for capital murder in marshall was steven renfro. here is a story on what he did...
On Aug. 25, 1996, after taking what he told authorities were 70 doses of the tranquilizer Valium along with liquor, Renfro put on camouflage clothing, blackened his face and armed himself with four guns, including a military assault rifle, and some 500 rounds of ammunition.
He shot and killed his live-in girlfriend, Rhena Fultner, 36, then an aunt who lived with them, Rose Rutledge, 63. Then he went to the nearby trailer home of Counts, 40, an acquaintance against whom he had a grudge, and fatally shot him, firing more than 150 rounds into Counts' mobile home.
When police responding to reports of gunfire arrived, he opened fire again, wounding Marshall Officer Dominic Pondant in the shoulder and turning his patrol car "into Swiss cheese," as authorities described it. Police exchanging fire were outgunned by Renfro's .45- and .50-caliber handguns and an AR-15 rifle, but one of his weapons malfunctioned and Pondant was able to hit the gunman.
"I killed them all," the wounded Renfro told officers who arrested him.
i am just curious to hear different opinions on this...
