    Summary of Offense:

    On May 8, 1998, in Bedias, Hyde burglarized the residence of a 72-year-old white male. Hyde had worked for the victim in previous weeks, and therefore was acquainted with the victim. Hyde beat the victim in the head with a hammer, killing him. Hyde took $1,000 and fled on foot.

    Hyde was sentenced to death in Grimes County in May 2000.

    EX PARTE RONNIE HYDE

    ON APPLICATION FOR POST-CONVICTION WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
    CAUSE NO. 13,984 IN THE 12TH DISTRICT COURT
    GRIMES COUNTY
    Per Curiam.

    O R D E R

    In May 2000, a jury found applicant guilty of the offense of capital murder. The jury answered the statutory punishment questions in such a way that the trial court set applicant's punishment at death. On August 28, 2002, an Article 11.071 (1) application for writ of habeas corpus was timely filed in the trial court. It has been more than nine years since the application was filed. Accordingly, we order the trial court to resolve any remaining issues within 180 days from the date of this order. The clerk shall then transmit the complete writ record to this Court within 210 days from the date of this order. Any extensions of time shall be obtained from this Court.

    IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 1ST DAY OF AUGUST, 2012.

    I worked on Mr Hyde's case and in 25 years in criminal justice I never encountered a death sentence with less or weaker evidence than his. Mr Hyde was denied counsel when he requested it in writing and is alleged to have confessed sometime after that. It is a crime that he is still on death row.

    Are you against the death penalty under any circumstances?
