Texas Man Executed for Decade-Old Murder

HUNTSVILLE, Texas — Texas has executed a man convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend nearly a decade ago.

Before his execution Thursday evening, Robert Jean Hudson repeatedly expressed love to his wife and a friend who watched through a window and ignored four relatives of his victim as they watched through another window into the death chamber.

“I will take you to heaven with me,” Hudson said from the death chamber gurney. “I will always be with you.”

Hudson, 45, was the 18th inmate put to death this year in Texas, which carries out more executions than any other U.S. state. Hudson’s execution was the last scheduled in Texas for this year. At least 10 Texas inmates are scheduled to die next year, including six in January.

Hudson stabbed Edith Kendrick, 35, to death and seriously wounded her 8-year-old son in the 1999 attack at her house near Dallas.

Here in Texas, we WILL get it done, eventually. If you kill someone in Texas, we WILL kill you back, it just pisses me off that it takes so long to do so!

I guess Texas goes for the death penalty because we’re not as progressive as some intellectuals, I mean, we’re nothing but back woods, bog dwelling, beer swilling rednecks and we are a state of undereducated haters, and that hate drives us to impose justice on the criminal, at least that seems to be the opinion of a *few* people.

I have never been against capital punishment, it is a much needed, and under used option in MY opinion. Some psychologists seem to think that the death penalty doesn’t stop individuals from committing capital crimes. That may be true, execution may not be a deterrent, but it makes me feel a lot better just knowing that it IS on the table, and IS an option for the most heinous offenders.

Here is the only downside that I see, it takes entirely too long from conviction to execution. We have DNA now, we can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the crime was committed by the accused. If convicted, give them 1 appeal, if that fails, carry out the sentence, be done with it and stop wasting taxpayer money on a condemned criminal.

Administer justice, swift and sure, don’t let them sit for 10 years or more on Death Row.

And there is another thing Texans need to consider, George Bush and Rick Perry have never been bashful about signing a death warrant. Would a liberal Democrat or, evil worse, a despicable RINO, say maybe Kay Bailey Hutchison, would leadership like that be so willing to sign off on an execution?
