Texas state posts the last words of death row inmates http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/stat/executedoffenders.htm
Here's one of them: Quote:
Originally posted by Napoleon Beazely, 25
The act I committed to put me here was not just heinous, it was senseless. But the person that committed that act is no longer here - I am.
I'm not going to struggle physically against any restraints. I'm not going to shout, use profanity or make idle threats. Understand though that I'm not only upset, but I'm saddened by what is happening here tonight. I'm not only saddened, but disappointed that a system that is supposed to protect and uphold what is just and right can be so much like me when I made the same shameful mistake.
If someone tried to dispose of everyone here for participating in this killing, I'd scream a resounding, "No." I'd tell them to give them all the gift that they would not give me...and that's to give them all a second chance.
I'm sorry that I am here. I'm sorry that you're all here. I'm sorry that John Luttig died. And I'm sorry that it was something in me that caused all of this to happen to begin with.
Tonight we tell the world that there are no second chances in the eyes of justice...Tonight, we tell our children that in some instances, in some cases, killing is right.
This conflict hurts us all, there are no SIDES. The people who support this proceeding think this is justice. The people that think that I should live think that is justice. As difficult as it may seem, this is a clash of ideals, with both parties committed to what they feel is right. But who's wrong if in the end we're all victims?
In my heart, I have to believe that there is a peaceful compromise to our ideals. I don't mind if there are none for me, as long as there are for those who are yet to come. There are a lot of men like me on death row - good men - who fell to the same misguided emotions, but may not have recovered as I have.
Give those men a chance to do what's right. Give them a chance to undo their wrongs. A lot of them want to fix the mess they started, but don't know how. The problem is not in that people aren't willing to help them find out, but in the system telling them it won't matter anyway. No one wins tonight. No one gets closure. No one walks away victorious.

Napoleon Beazely was 17 when he shot and killed a 63yr old, John Luttig, in a car-jacking
here's his pic and charges etc http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/statisti...st/beazley.jpg
some are amusing last words some are sad some are thought provoking
if you look at their offenses a lot of the crimes are ghastly, but you also look at their education level, some of them don't even have all of Elementary school

Yeah. I often get angry with the justice system and call for mass executions China-style, but the reality is that people are a product of their environments -- if we grew up in their shoes and faced physical/sexual abuse or extreme poverty and only knew how to get cash by dealing crack, I have no doubt we'd do the same as we wouldn't know how to get out of that life.
EDIT: Just read the police report. The dude shot him when he got out of the car. He deserves to burn in hell!!!

i did some googling though but the man who was murdered, his son is a high ranking Judge in Texas and was buddies with Bush (what are the odds)
edit: did some more wiki'ing and it turns out this case was quite prominent Quote:
Napoleon Beazley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_Beazley
Jump to: navigation, search
Napoleon Beazley (August 5, 1976 – May 28, 2002) was a convicted murderer executed by lethal injection by the State of Texas for the murder of 63-year-old Texas businessman John Luttig in 1994. Beazley shot Luttig in his garage on April 19, 1994 in order to steal his family's Mercedes-Benz car. Beazley also shot at Luttig's wife, but he missed and she survived the assault by playing dead. Beazley carried out the crime with two accomplices, Cedrick and Donald Coleman, who later testified against him. Both are serving life sentences in prison.
Beazley's case is notable because he was 17 years, eight and one-half months old at the time of the offense and because his victim was the father of a Federal Judge, J. Michael Luttig. During his appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court, three of the nine justices recused themselves because of their personal ties to Judge Luttig, leaving six justices to review the case. Justice Antonin Scalia recused himself because Luttig had clerked for him, while Justices David Souter and Clarence Thomas recused themselves from the decision because Luttig had led the George H. W. Bush Administration's successful effort to gain U.S. Senate confirmation for them to the Supreme Court.
On August 13, 2001, the Court voted 3-3 on Beazley's request for a stay of execution, with the tie vote resulting in a rejection of the request.[1] On May 28, 2002, the Court voted unanimously 6-0 to reject Beazley's request for a writ of habeas corpus.[2] Scalia, Souter, and Thomas recused themselves in both votes.
Beazley's execution sparked a fierce debate between opponents and supporters of the death penalty, particularly with respect to juvenile offenders. Many organizations, such as Amnesty International, argued in favor of clemency due to his age (Beazley was at the time of the offense 3˝ months from his 18th birthday) and their opposition to the death penalty in general.[3]
Others supported his sentence, pointing out that Beazley shot a 63-year old man simply to steal his car and his guilt was not in dispute (Beazley confessed to the crime). In addition, they pointed to a lack of mitigating factors. For example, Beazley had not grown up in a poor or abusive family.[4] Many believed[who?] that since he was only 3˝ months from being a legal adult that his judgment was substantially the same as it would have been had he been 18, and scoffed at the notion that he was, in effect, a "child," although he couldn't vote and was subject to youth curfew laws at the time of his crime.
Beazley was one of the last juvenile offenders to be executed in the United States. In 2004, the Supreme Court (in Roper v. Simmons) banned the practice of executing offenders who were under the age of 18 when they committed their crimes.
A documentary on his story, entitled "Two Hours to Tyler", recently aired on BET and has been shown in numerous film festivals. |

I don't like how he calls himself a victim, he put himself there.

| Eyes of Justice? <--- Justice is blind so they are impartial to you and servce justice....does anyone look at the statue in all the courts?? They always have a blindfold.
Lady Justice is often depicted wearing a blindfold. This is done in order to indicate that justice is (or should be) meted out objectively, without fear or favor, regardless of identity, money, power, or weakness: blind justice and blind impartiality

This is America’s equal justice. A Mexican’s life is worth nothing. When a policeman kills someone he gets a suspended sentence or probation. When a Mexican kills a police officer this is what you get. From there you call me a cold-blooded murderer. I didn’t tie anyone to a stretcher. I didn’t pump any poison into anybody’s veins from behind a locked door. You call this justice. I call this and your society a bunch of cold-blooded murderers. I don’t say this with any bitterness or anger. I just say this with truthfulness. I hope God forgives me for all my sins. I hope that God will be as merciful to society as he has been to me.

Not trying to defend either side here, but I never understand how come sometimes a 17 years old who killed 1 person get executed, while others who committed multiple first degree murder + rape can get out of prison in 20 years.
