[WCADP-list] EXECUTION ALERT: Four More U.S. Executions Likely in June

Wed Jun 1 11:04:34 PDT 2005

In spite of overwhelming evidence of the unfair and random nature of the
death penalty, a number of executions have been scheduled for June.  This is
your opportunity to register your belief in the inherent value of human
life.  Every time one of these governors receives a call or an email they
are reminded that the world is watching and expects that they will act with
mercy.

(Note:  the amount of specific information we received for each execution
this month is limited.  We have added links to news stories where possible.)

2.  Alexander Martinez, Jr. (Texas, 6/7/05)

Texas had planned to execute Alexander Martinez, 28, on March 10, less than
three years after he waived his appeals and volunteered to die.  The former
runaway spent a lifetime being abused and abusing others. Along the way, he
developed a tangle of homicidal fantasies and longings for acceptance.
During a stint in prison, Mexican Mafia inmates became his new family. To
impress them after he was paroled, he killed a prostitute and quickly
bragged about it to cops. In an interview with TIME, Martinez was resolute
about staying a step ahead of what he considered a rigged system. "I'm not
gonna play their game," he said. "I might as well go out now." But even in
Texas, which has executed more volunteers than any other state, it's not
that simple: barely a week from death, Martinez had his execution postponed
for three months to ensure that his paperwork is in order.  (From
