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.
Your assertion is essentially implying they should just kill every prisoner on account of avoiding what goes on in prison, and because the state should assume they’d want to die anyway.
I’d say your argument is far more ridiculous.
That’s actually exactly what I’m saying and the absurdity is the whole point. The system is so cruel, it’s their only available humane option at this point.
But thanks for showing anything I say goes over your head simply because I hold an opinion you don’t agree with. Makes it obvious you do not deserve my respect or my time.
“The system is so cruel they should just kill them all anyway” is an outlandishly evil and twisted take. Regardless of if you’re making it out of absurdity.
And likewise for showing me that I’m wasting my time arguing with an actual psychopath ✌️
