Texas completes its 12th execution of 2015

Sometimes, opposition to the death penalty needs to rest on principle. The 24th person executed this year, a cop killer whose defense at trial was that he was off duty so it wasn't death eligible, is not a sympathetic case. The best I could find was that the 19 year old was a lost cause after his mom died, but even there, seen worse stories. Perhaps, the age. Ultimately, it's why him over other worst cases and the the system/executing overall.
