    He’s labeled as Hispanic on TDCJ but one of his parents is likely Caucasian.

    Many Mexicans or Latinoamericans are White. Think about Canelo Alvarez, for example, who not only is White, but betrays clear Northern-European ethnic roots.

    Still though, there was clearly no racial bias in a case like this.

    The whole reason the police tried to pull him over was because his car was linked to a murder that happened two days before. When the police tried to pull him over he started playing cat and mouse. After Ruiz crashed into a ditch, the officer came up to the window and hit the glass with his baton, which was followed by Ruiz shooting him with an AR-15. His claim of self defense is absolutely malarkey and there was no way he wasn’t gonna get the death penalty.

    He could have been an upper middle class white businessman living in a nice neighborhood with a good reputation, and he still would have gotten the death penalty.

    I must concur with Mastro, although I'm sure the bias claim is bogus and certainly could have been raised earlier. But yes, Ruiz is still Hispanic despite being quite light-skinned. I find it interesting how Ruiz is listed as Hispanic while Anthony Castillo Sanchez is listed as White. My guess is he's European Spanish.

    But yes, some Latin Americans are White. Argentina is a poignant example. If my Latin American history professor was right a few years ago, something like half of the Argentine population has Italian blood. And Italians are definitely White.

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

    Ruiz’s motion for a stay of execution was mailed to the TCCA on January 24, 2023 and presented to the court on January 26, 2023.

    The courts should rule today. He’s got a few days to go before the execution date gets here. When the TCCA denies weeks before hand like with Rhodes and Fratta the execution goes through but when it’s a mere few days before the execution is to occur then they are more likely to stay it. The claims with Ruiz are very weak but this court is also very weak.

    Wesley Ruiz has filed a motion to have his execution date withdrawn because the "expired" pentobarbital has not been properly tested.

    Waste of time. Texas acquired a new batch just before Fratta died.

    From racism to pentobarbital, from the invalid warrant to some jurors who changed their mind, he is frantically throwing every kind of Hail Mary, in the hope that one might save him from the gurney. There is no legal strategy behind his counsels' moves, just desperation.
