    Speer was denied his habeas appeal by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on March 3, 2010. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals granted him relief back to trial court in November 2008 on a reliability-of-witness claim. This claim has now been denied.

    Note that he's apparently forgotten he strangled another prisoner, which is the real reason he's on Death Row. That's the person he's become, the same person he was decades ago. If we can't accomplish timely executions, can't we at least inhibit creeps like this from globally spreading their manure? Anyone who facilitated posting this misinformation and self-aggrandizing nonsense should be publicly shamed. Who "supports" their victims?

    If he had a cell mate it looks like he may have eaten him. Glad to see he's eating his fair share of prison grub.

    I still don't know why they are allowed to get so large. Do they have a non-ending supply of food?
