    Court upholds Allen death sentence

    The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals today upheld the death sentence given to Guy Allen, convicted in 2004 of killing his former girlfriend and her daughter in Northeast Austin.

    The brief, unanimous ruling gave no reasons for denying Allen’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus, noting only that the district judge had held a hearing on the petition and recommended that relief be denied.

    The court had already upheld Allen’s conviction on a separate appeal.

    Barbara Hill and her 19-year-old daughter, Janette Johnson, were stabbed to death in 2002. Hill had thrown Allen out of her house the night before, but he returned early the next morning, court testimony showed.

    In a frantic 911 call, Johnson begged police to help her mother, who she said was being repeatedly hit.

    “Who’s hitting your mom?” the 911 operator asked as screaming could be heard in the background.

    “Oh my God, he locked the door,” Johnson said. “My mom’s friend. He won’t stop hitting her. I can’t open the door. Please, please.”

    Police arrived minutes after the 5:05 a.m. call to find both women dead. Hill had been stabbed 46 times, Johnson 10 times. Police found a 3-inch knife used in the killings with Allen’s blood on it, along with the blood of the victims.

    Allen, 47, is one of six former Travis County residents on death row. None is scheduled for execution.

    What exactly is the holdup here its been three years since he exhausted his appeals?
    "There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche
