I am no proponent of a death penalty due to the poor state of the US justice system and the dearth of competent legal counsel available to defend those charged with crimes. However, the murderer/rapist the subject of this thread chose to commit these crimes in the State of Texas, and should be, and was, tried, convicted and disposed of according to Texas law. Questions as to what may or may not have happened after he commited these crimes that he clearly admitted to commiting, are immaterial. Might as well ask "What if he was a decent human being and never chose to commit these crimes?".

LA, I am hard core on this one and think "he did get what he deserved". Zero tolerance, treaty, no treaty, etc.
It was a heinous act he comitted, beyond reprehensible.
