Although I have always been staunchly anti-capital punishment, at the same time I don’t have a lot of sympathy for the likely fate of these sorts of people, who will have problems staying alive very long in a Texas prison even if they escape the death penalty (assuming, of course, that police have a solid case against the parents):
A woman and her common-law husband were charged with murder Wednesday after police found the bodies of a decapitated 1-year-old boy and two young siblings in the family’s small, run-down apartment.
The children’s 23-year-old mother, Angela Camacho, and John Allen Rubio, the 22-year-old father of the youngest child, were being held without bond, according to police Lt. Henry Etheridge.
The 1-year-old’s body was found Tuesday night on a bed, and the others were in garbage bags beside it, police in this border town said.
