A Texas man who said his death sentence was based on false and unscientific expert testimony was executed Thursday evening for killing a man during a robbery decades ago.
Brent Ray Brewer, 53, received a lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville for the April 1990 death of Robert Laminack. The inmate was pronounced dead at 6:39 p.m. local time, 15 minutes after the chemicals began flowing.
Prosecutors had said Laminack, 66, gave Brewer and his girlfriend a ride to a Salvation Army location in Amarillo when he was stabbed in the neck and robbed of $140.
Brewer’s execution came hours after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to step in over the inmate’s claims that prosecutors had relied on false and discredited expert testimony at his 2009 resentencing trial.
Yes, people can believe all kinds of contradictory things. That doesn’t make them any less hypocritical.
Do you think people should be free except when they have committed crimes?
Yes, but I don’t label myself as “pro-freedom,” so I’m not sure what relevance that has.
You really don’t get that slogans are designed to be catchy rather than descriptive? Really? REALLY?
Like you never got annoyed about how people (mis)interpreted “defund the police”? Or “black lives matter”?
I’m not misinterpreting anything. If “all life is precious” that means there are no exceptions. And that’s what they say.
Of course not. The unjustified confidence of a partisan… sigh
Which party am I a partisan to? Since you seem to know me better than I do…
The guy absolutely convinced he understands “pro life” proponents’ intent based off a dictionary reading of their slogan better than they do is now offended that somebody else thinks they know him better than he knows himself based on what he says.
🤣
Oh dear. You can’t make it up.
That’s not an answer. Which party am I partisan to? You apparently know and I don’t. So which party is it?
