According to the website fox7news.com "A judge in Houston has granted a pre-trial motion declaring the Death Penalty unconstitutional." The judge is state district judge Kevin Fine. He is a recovering cocaine addict and has more tattoos than most people. Judge Fine Ruled the death penalty in the case of John Greene Jr. who was accused of shooting and killing a woman and injuring her sister. Rick Perry, Abbott, and District Attorney Patricia Lycos are mad about judge Fines ruling. Governor Rick Perry quoted in response to this "Like the vast majority of Texans, I support the death penalty as a fitting and constitutional punishment for the most heinous crimes." I think this is really interesting, brings up a lot of issues that made me think a little harder about.
