From a February 23, 2023 KWHI story, one of these individuals is “[…]considered a Repeat Felony Offender.” If that is the legal classification of this person, as they have been in serious trouble for at least the last 5 years, then they need to be punished to the fullest extent that the law will allow, and have them removed from general society. I would hope that the prosecutors in this case would exert the maximum force allowed by law, and not still believe that there is rehabilitation through deferred sentencing or reduction of sentencing. Texas touts itself as being ‘tough on crime’, but I don’t see that in some of the sentences given, and I don’t see all of the charges initially levied against some of these individuals carried out in the courts. Texas might be fooling itself in terms of what it’s doing to protect law-abiding citizens from these criminals.
