TEXAS PLANS TO EXECUTE:
ROBERT GARZA,
condemned following his conviction on a pair of murder charges in the
2002 shooting deaths of four women in the Rio Grande Valley. Garza’s
appeal was rejected in February 2013 by the U.S. Supreme Court. He
reportedly told law enforcement he witnessed the shootings and knew of
the plot to kill the women but did not fire a gun. A jury convicted him
of capital murder under the Texas law of parties, which allows for a
defendant to be considered just as responsible as the killer if he or
she plays a secondary role.
