Texas (South) executed on Thursday evening a man condemned to death, in spite of the last calls in justice launched by his lawyers, who stated that the trail was marked by racism and irregularities, informs the AFP. Terry Edwards, an Afro-American man of 43 years, was declared died at 04:17 GMT, after he was administered a lethal injection in prison, in this state where are the most of the executions. His lawyers requested a last minute postponement at the Supreme Court of Justice, which was rejected. Terry Edwards was sentenced together with his cousin Kirk Edwards for killing, in 2002, two employees of a fast food in Dallas.
The two villains also stole the money from the fast food, about 3,000 dollars. Terry Edwards had been fired from the restaurant with a few weeks before. He was seen by a witness while throwing a weapon in a bin near the crime place. If the participation of the two Edwards at the facts was established, the precise role of Terry remained a controversial one. His lawyers ensure that an expertise shows that he was not the one who shot and that, unlike his cousin, he did not have a history of violence. Terry Edwards received the capital punishment after a very controversial trial during which he had an improper defense, according to his lawyers.
During a contradictory trial that allows the rejection of a certain number of potential jury, the prosecutors were systematically removed the members of the ethnic minorities, reaching in the end to a jury composed of 12 white men, stated the lawyers. In an article published on Wednesday, the Dallas Morning News made an appeal to the suspension of the execution of Terry Edwards, on the grounds that too many questionings related to the case remained unanswered.
Most White people are honest. We do stand for and love OUR COUNTRY as most other races want to ruin it. There is no excuse 4 murder. Robbery and murder combined is a bad situation and was retaliation from his poor performance which caused him to be fired not any1 else’s fault but his …So why is it he n his family were complaining? Raise young men with ethics and morales and work ethics and to love Jesus and they would not do this horrific thing despite the fact they were broke. They’d get another job or return to college and educate themselves but they’d be alive buuuut due to their poor decisions and poor choices of their own they will suffer the consequences not anyone else. What about the poor innocent victims whom were murdered during the robbery!!!!!??????? I only regret that the parents didn’t teach them of the love of Jesus and this could’ve all been avoided and I could only hopr5that they invited Jesus into their hearts while in the can. Can u imagine??? If they did invite Jesus into their hearts to be their Lord and Saviour they’d get to go to Heavan 4 eternity and imagine if the ones they killed did not or flat out rejected Jesus when told?? Hell is another choice that would be made. If the workers were saved and all involved (the men in the can) invited Jesus into their lives and the workers were already saved then all will be in Heavan but if the murders did not and the employees were not saved all is a travesty because they would all be in hell. Please share the LOVE OF JESUS WITH all of your friends so we can win this WORLD 4 JESUS CHRIST..
Contrary to what many people think, it takes more than just accepting Jesus into your heart to be forgiven of sins.
The idea that people can be saved by a what amounts to a deathbed confession is just totally asinine and ridiculous; this would encourage someone to go do whatever the hell they wanted and then right before they die, accept Jesus into their heart and all is well….. how dumbass!
Christ suffered in Gethsemane to atone for the sins of man and he died on the cross to overcome death so everyone will be Resurrected and have life, but that does not mean they will not have to answer for their sins!
