There are some death penalty cases that cause one to pause and reflect upon its usefulness in today's society. This is not one of them .

A Houston man who was convicted of capital murder for the gang rape and slaying of two teenage girls received a death date today after the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for his and other killers' executions.

Jose Medellin, 33, is set to die by injection on Aug. 5 for the 1993 murders of Jennifer Ertman, 14, and Elizabeth Peña, 16.

Finally, after 15 years surviving at taxpayer expense, this piece of human debris will die. Good riddance. 

What these beasts did to these two young women is something that no human being should have to suffer through. You cannot read through the horror that they suffered and have compassion for their killers.

When the rapes finally ended, the horror was not over. The gang members took Jenny and Elizabeth from the clearing into a wooded area, leaving the juvenile behind, saying he was "too little to watch". Jenny was strangled with the belt of Sean O'Brien, with two murderers pulling, one on each side, until the belt broke. Part of the belt was left at the murder scene, the rest was found in O'Brien's home. After the belt broke, the killers used her own shoelaces to finish their job. Medellin later complained that "the bitch wouldn't die" and that it would have been "easier with a gun". Elizabeth was also strangled with her shoelaces, after crying and begging the gang members not to kill them; bargaining, offering to give them her phone number so they could get together again.

I hope that their families will finally get some peace. As for Medellin, he should be happy that I am not in charge of his soul.
