The idea that murder victims’ families are best served by continuing the cycle of violence is something that I consider to be not only a lie, but criminally negligent. You lie to victims’ families when you tell them they’re going to receive closure if they participate in the process and witness the execution of a human being Picture Quote #1

San Antonio is like a military town. It’s like literally - when I was growing up there, there were five Air Force bases, plus Fort Sam Houston. I was always sort of near the military Picture Quote #1
