Excellent news. Hopefully they can negotiate a lesser sentence for the man. No one should be given the death penalty.

I knew before clicking that he was white. Because we just saw what happened to the innocent man who wasn’t.

Reading on this case it's sad. They took testimony of the hospital staff that he had no emotions. Hes autistic and may process emotions differently. Abolish the death penalty.

Odd, Texas usually kills regardless of actual innocence or guilt. What's going on?

He could be guilty, still shouldn't be executed

The government should have absolutely no authority whether someone should live or not.
