    Not to be the devil's advocate, but Jedidiah Murphy is a practising Lubavitch Jew at least since 2016, and between COVID and Ramirez's chaplain farce, any execution date Ken Paxton would have obtained would have been 100% stayed over one of these two reasons or both.

    Is Texas becoming a new Ohio, with execution dates set years in the future?

    Maybe they are doing it so they can deal with any bs claims they can spew out before the date arrives

    They should just change warrant time to one day these kangaroo courts are going to stay them regardless of the time given.

    Anyone know what the hold up here is? 5 months of nothing so far.

    Look how long it took for Ruiz to get a date. It might be a while before he and Broadnax get death warrants.

    The requested date for Murphy's execution is March 21st, 2023, quite far away in the future. In the case of Robert Fratta, the judge waited to sign his death warrant until the very last day available, in order not to deprive him of the possibility of attending the Sunday Mass he was used to (while on death watch, inmates religious liberties are greatly restricted).

    Murphy is a practising Lubavitch Jew, so maybe they're waiting until the last day available for the same reason. If I'm right, we should see the death warrant signed around mid-December.

    The trial court has appointed new counsel for Murphy to represent him in an upcoming hearing to set his execution date. The judge writes in his order that the critea for setting an execution date have been met so I assume the judge wil sign off on the requested March 21, 2023 execution date within the next 2 weeks.
