Texas executes first black woman BBC NEWS | Americas | Texas executes first black woman
Frances Newton had always said she was innocent
The US state of Texas has carried out its first execution of a black woman since the Civil War.Frances Newton was convicted of killing her husband, seven-year-old son and baby daughter in 1987. She blamed the murders on an unknown drug dealer.Prosecutors said she had shot them to claim a $100,000 life insurance payout.The American Bar Association had asked for a stay of execution, saying new evidence had not yet been evaluated by the Texas courts.
In a letter to the Texas governor and Pardon Board, former Attorney General Ramsey Clark wrote: "A person of financial means would never have been convicted and probably never even tried in such a case."But prosecutors said evidence directly linked Newton to the murders and the Supreme Court rejected two late appeals on Wednesday.Newton, 40, declined to make a final statement or make a last meal request. Her death by lethal injection was witnessed by her parents and sister, and also by relatives of her husband.
Newton is the third woman to have been executed in Texas since the state re-introduced the death penalty in 1982.
Ok so Mr. Boston tell me what are you trying to accomplish by posting this? Any thoughts of your own? Please enlighten us with your pearls of wisdom that we are all eagerly waiting to hear coming from a lefty, bleeding heart, disgusting place called Boston.
What a terrible woman...if she did commit the crime then good riddance...
And as for posting it...i guess its just one of those landmarks...1st black woman...doesnt make a difference regarding the crime but its just a landmark...
Its like if we have a Pakistani executed...its just a landmark...
PCG, I cannot believe that I am going to agree with you, but that is what i am trying to find out from Mr. Goliko...what is the purpose of this thread?
Iss baat kaa Boston saay kiaa ta’aluqq hai???I know you feel embarrased living in Houston & your wifey is hammering your head to either got to Scorching Arizona or Deserts of California…
Goliko, its not cruel and is not unjustified. Unjustified: killling your husband by shooting him in tghe head, killing your children by putting the gun to their chest and pulling the trigger...now that is cruel. You wussy liberal. In texas if you do the crime you do the time. Its simple...now shoo...Now you understand the refrence to Boston pin head...
Show me one post where I said that I am not happy living in Houston...this again shows your ignorance, but I dont expect anything better from a person who argues that capital punishment is cruel and unjustified.
Nah guys, it has nothing to do with the recent events....you see my better half had spent most of her college days in those two states and she yearns to get back there. She has been dropping hints like "I hate Houston", "I wish we were in Kalifornia"..."Arizona's heat is better at least there is no humidity"....a smart man knows what is coming next...so I am trying to stay ahead of the game
kaleem
Wifey would kill you if you would not go to Kalifornia or Arizona...as she love her good old college days..when she wasn't married to you...uncle jee...
Capital Punishment is cruel & unethical...the women denied till the end that she hasn't killed her husband...
Listen pinhead asshole, lets stick to the topic at hand. Which is one moffo fom boston thinks that capital punishment is cruel and unjustified. BTW: Newsflash for a bleeding heart assholes like Goliko almost all convicted felons deny their involvement in the crime. An asshole like you sitting in Boston is ready to rule the case that was tried in front of the jury and she was given ample time to bring in the evidence that showed that she was not involved, i.e 18 years.
Do you even know what unethical means?
P.S. If you bring my family in this discussion again I will be forced to do bring your family in this discussion and trust me you dont want that to happen.
Ok so you want to start cursing now…i didn’t bring any of your family(as you are claiming now,you bozo,i just told you what you told the whole forum before) you asshole(as you qouted before)…& listen i don’t like to talk to Idiots, Dumbo…Go ahead & beat the trumpet…
^ Really what was the purpose of quoting my post from another thread into this one? What was the purpose of making remarks about my wife? You really need some help...since you dont even know the meaning of the words such as ethics and unjustified. Listen this bleeding heart crap of "she claimed she was innocent" may work in Boston...we dont coddle to the criminals here in Texas..especailly who kill their own kids.
^ Excuse me,you asked for it...and besides that i don't want you to be my headache,you don't deserve it...Go ahead & jump up and down where ever & when ever you like to...Yes Allah taala is with me to help me out in any & every trouble..May he give you some sanity too...and Please you are quite naive about Boston...You would certainly make New Englanders Laugh with your childish comments & attitude...After this post you are being ignored on my list.
^ I asked for it? Why because I called Boston a left, bleeding heart libs town... haha haa..for speaking the truth...I have been to Boston plenty of times to know what kind of place it is. Dont bring Allah in this discussion...Alllah has commanded us to do justice...you know what was the prescribed punishment for the people who killed their daughters? Just think about it and maybe a litlle bulb will go off in your head and you will come back to your senses...
Dont put stupid articles up without your comments or just dont put up something that does not make any sense period
^ Ignored...Remember I don't comment on Foolish Filthiness...& Remember I BRING ALLAH IN EVERY & ANYWHERE...Because HE is in every & anywhere...Yes in your Texas too...& yes You asked to show you YOUR post...& also remember you can never prove a murderer 100% ...what if you are executing someone who has a glimish of doubt...you have wasted a life....Period!
Goliko Sahib, I am well aware of Allah's presence everywhere, so dont deliver a sermon and argue based on the evidence you have in front of you. I did not ask for my post..What I asked for was "show me where did I say that I was not happy living in texas"...in your haste and ignorance you failed to realize that it was my wife who had made the comments regarding texas ..not me.
You can not always have a videotape of all the crimes...you go by what you have. Prosectors were able to present the case in a manner that resulted in her convictions. Did you know that woman had been convicted of forgery before? She forged her husband's signature on the insurance forms right before she killed him and the kids....I urge you to get your head out of your behind and reason things out...you know the brains Allah gave you was for you to use it...not let it rust.
