This guy pretty much admitted guilt. The surviving victim would not sign off on a plea bargain that would have sent him away for life without parole. This trial was strictly about whether or not he would receive the death penalty.
I won't lose any sleep over this guy being put to death. If the death penalty is valid anywhere, it is valid here. My problem is that laws and processes must cover all eventualities. DNA evidence isn't always available or relevant. The track record in Texas demonstrates that the system isn't flawless. Odds are that Texas has already executed an innocent person.
