Honduran man on Texas death row loses court appeal

HOUSTON (AP) - A man from Honduras on Texas death row for the rape-slaying of a 15-year-old girl in Houston has lost a federal court appeal, moving him closer to execution.
 
Edgardo Rafael Cubas had argued to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals the trial judge in his case, Jan Crocker, was biased against him because she had prosecuted an unrelated capital murder case years earlier as an assistant district attorney in Harris County. Lawyers for Cubas contended Crocker was impartial because at the time of his trial in 2004, she sought to file an affidavit in the unrelated capital case to keep that inmate on death row.
 
The 5th Circuit on Friday rejected the claim.
 
The 33-year-old Cubas was condemned for the 2002 slaying of high school sophomore Esmeralda Alvarado.  >:(

The judge can't be a former prosecutor, especially one that had tried a death penalty case...card.

Do you think Texas can handle it?

My reason for supporting the death penalty? A murderer has less of a right to live than his victim and already presents a danger while incarcerated for life. They have nothing to lose when the most they can get is Life in prison without parole.

No, I don't. I think Texas has gone soft in the head.

Texas has snuffed R Hernandez, Rivas, Thurmond, J Hernandez and Adams while Newbury, Bartee, Staley and Hines were stayed.
5 out of 9 is dismal by Texas standards but the powerhouse has 8 more on the burner...

July
          18*      Yokamon Hearn           Texas

August
          1*       Marcus Druery              Texas
          7*       Marvin Wilson               Texas
         22*       John Balentine             Texas

September
         20*       Robert Harris              Texas 
         25*       Cleve Foster               Texas

November
          8*       Mario Swain                 Texas
         14*      Ramon Hernandez        Texas

How many do you think will taste the juice?
