    Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next products.

    "They will hurt you. They will hurt your grandma, these people. The root cause of this is there's no discipline in the homes, they don't go to school, you know, they live off the government, no personal accountability, and they just beat people up for no reason, and it's disgusting." - Former Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters

    Northeast Texas man on death row loses federal court appeal

    HOUSTON - A federal appeals court has rejected an appeal from a Northeast Texas man on death row for strangling his girlfriend 17 years ago.

    Attorneys for 45-year-old Daniel Acker unsuccessfully argued to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that he's innocent of the March 2000 slaying of 32-year-old Marquetta George of Sulphur Springs. They also contended Acker's trial court erroneously excluded evidence of his innocence, that appeals he previously lost were based on false evidence and that he had poor legal help in earlier appeals.

    George's body was found on a Hopkins County road. Trial attorneys said she jumped from Acker's truck and then was hit. Prosecutors said he killed her and dumped her body. A jury deliberated 90 minutes before convicting him.

    Acker doesn't yet have an execution date.

    This guy is hopkins county's only death row inmate, and im assuming he is at the supreme court now. I wonder how much of a priority it'll be to see him executed.

    Well, hopefully he'll be gone by the end of the year. We'll see.
