A Texas prosecutor has shared an emotional video explaining his change of heart over the “unethical” death penalty for a man convicted of murdering a store clerk to steal $1.25 – just days after his office requested a date for his execution.
Nueces County District Attorney Mark Gonzalez said in a Facebook Live from his office on Thursday afternoon that he had withdrawn his request for a death warrant and an execution date for John Henry Ramirez saying it was the “right thing to do”.
