Texas Ruling Signals Halt to Executions Indefinitely - New York Times

Un-dirty word-believable.

Signaling an indefinite halt to executions in Texas, the state’s highest criminal appeals court late Tuesday stayed the lethal injection of a 28-year-old Honduran man who was scheduled to be put to death Wednesday.

The Texas court order gave state authorities up to 30 days to explain in legal papers why the execution of the inmate, Heliberto Chi, should proceed.

Well I can answer that for you now;  He killed someone.  It even says it in the article:

Mr. Chi was convicted of killing the manager of a men’s store in Arlington in 2001.

Victims of crime and their families are constantly put through the wringer when it comes to the criminal justice system.

If there's no doubt as to if this guy killed the store manager, then where's the problem?  Ok, you want to revisit the lethal injection?  Ok, but until then, put this guy down like the animal he is in a different manner.  Shot to the back of the head, Guillotine, Gas Chamber, and other ways are all viable options.  Don't let this asshole breath one more day then is absolutely necessary.  He killed someone, a jury and multiple appeals judges kept him on death row, and now it's time for his punishment to be met out.
