    Man convicted in fatal 2013 shooting of West Texas deputy faces death penalty

    By Eleanor Dearman
    The Corpus Christi Caller-Times

    A Nueces County jury convicted a man in the 2013 fatal shooting of a West Texas sheriff's deputy.

    The jury found Gary David Green guilty of capital murder Monday in connection with the death of Upton County deputy Billy "Bubba" Kennedy, court records show.

    Green, who is now facing the death penalty, was arrested in October 2013 after a shootout at a McCamey convenience store, according to the Associated Press.

    The trial was moved from West Texas to South Texas because of a change of venue.

    McCamey — which is in Upton County and has a population of around 2,000 people — is about 50 miles south of Odessa.

    After weeks of jury selection, testimony began last week before visiting judge Tessa Herr. The jury returned a verdict in less than half an hour, according to a court official.

    The trial's punishment phase is expected to start Wednesday. In Texas, capital murder is punishable by either life in prison without parole or the death penalty.

    According to a news article from the Odessa American, Green's credit card was declined at the convenience store and he demanded free gas.

    He was approached by Kennedy and another deputy, who ran a check on the truck's license plate, the article states. The truck has been reported stolen. When Kennedy went up to the vehicle's driver-side door, he unfastened his gun from its holster.

    Green opened the door and fired at the deputy, the report states. Both officers reportedly returned fire, it states.

    Last week, the clerk who worked that night described seeing Green's vehicle parked outside store and said he came in and tried to buy some items and gas. But his card didn't work and he tried to bribe her into giving him the items, she said.

    The woman said she thought he was having a rough night and was just an upset customer when he mentioned that he didn't want anyone to die.

    He took some items she gave him through a store program and left behind a debit card with his name - Gary Green.

    She said she later heard gunshots and saw Kennedy on the ground.

    Nueces County jury sentences man to death in West Texas deputy's 2013 slaying

    By Eleanor Dearman

    A man was given the death penalty Wednesday for fatally shooting a deputy in 2013.

    A Nueces County jury convicted Gary David Green on June 18 of capital murder in connection with the death of Upton County deputy Billy "Bubba" Kennedy.

    The same jury handed down the death sentence Wednesday afternoon.

    In Texas, capital murder is punishable by either life in prison without parole or the death penalty.

    The trial was moved from West Texas because of a change of venue.

    The Associate Press reported that Green was arrested in October 2013 following a shootout at a McCamey convenience store. His card was declined at the store and he demanded free gas, the Odessa American reported.

    The man was approached by Kennedy and another deputy, who ran a check on the vehicle's license plate and discovered it was stolen.

    Kennedy went to the vehicle's side door and unfastened his gun from its holster, according to the newspaper. Green opened his door and fired, it states. Both officers reportedly returned fire.

    The jury found that Green would be a continuing threat to society and determined there were no "mitigating circumstances," such as Green's character and background, that warranted life in prison over the death penalty, court records show.

    According to his official page on the TDCJ, he may be the shortest and skinniest inmate currently on Death Row in America.

    He currently weighs 000 pounds and is 0'0 feet.
    "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
