    A man's death row appeal hearing ended Friday

    The latest hearing related to a man's death row appeal ended Friday.

    District Judge Bobby Galvan heard final testimony in the appeal and will make recommendations to the Court of Criminal Appeals in Austin. That court then will make a ruling on the appeal.

    Ramirez was convicted of capital murder in 2008 for the July 19, 2004, stabbing of convenience store clerk Pablo Castro.

    Castro was stabbed 29 times and robbed of $1.25 as he was taking out trash at a convenience store on Baldwin Boulevard.

    Ramirez decided months ago to end the legal fight to appeal his conviction, but changed his mind in September when he discovered he had a paternal half-sister, who he said he wants to get to know.

    Ramirez's appellate attorney Michael Gross has argued that Ramirez was depressed and suicidal when he initially decided to forego his appeal and expedite his execution

    And the article..

    John Henry Ramirez Murder Conviction Upheld

    An appeal from Texas death row inmate John Henry Ramirez was turned down this week by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.

    Ramirez was convicted of capital murder for the 2004 stabbing death murder of Times Market employee Pablo Castro.

    In his appeal, attorneys argued he had ineffective trial counsel. They also claimed tight courtroom security, like leg shackles and an increased law enforcement presence, could have biased the jury.

    Ramirez was arrested four years after he stabbed Castro to death in order to steal just over one dollar in cash.

    An execution date has not been scheduled.

    Condemned killer of Corpus Christi store clerk loses appeal

    HOUSTON — A 31-year-old Corpus Christi man on death row for killing a convenience store clerk during a $1.25 robbery in 2004 has lost a federal court appeal, moving him a step closer to execution.

    Attorneys for John Ramirez contended he had deficient legal help at his 2008 trial in Corpus Christi, that the elimination of some potential jurors was improper because he wasn’t in court at the time and that the courtroom wasn’t open to the public during jury selection. They also argued Ramirez improperly was shackled during the trial.

    The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday rejected the arguments.

    Ramirez eluded police for four years until his arrest for the slaying of 45-year-old store clerk Pablo Castro. He was stabbed 29 times as he took out the trash.

    In today's orders, the United States Supreme Court declined to review Ramirez's petition for certiorari.

    Appeals exhausted. Ruling could result in execution date.
    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

    Condemned killer of Corpus Christi store clerk loses appeal

    The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to review an appeal from a 32-year-old Corpus Christi man on death row for killing a convenience store clerk during a $1.25 robbery in 2004.

    The high court, without comment Monday, ruled in the case of John Ramirez. A lower federal appeals court earlier this year also turned down his appeal.

    Ramirez's attorneys contended he had deficient legal help at his 2008 trial in Corpus Christi and that there were problems during selection. They also argued Ramirez improperly was shackled during the trial.

    Ramirez eluded police for four years until his arrest for the slaying of 45-year-old store clerk Pablo Castro. He was stabbed 29 times as he took out the trash.

    Ramirez doesn't yet have an execution date.

    Execution date for John Henry Ramirez has been set

    "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
