Draggingtree Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Texas Prepares for Execution of Juan Castillo on May 16, 2018 Updated: Monday, May 14, 2018 9:02 pm EDT The Supreme Court of the United States has rejected a request to halt the execution of Juan Castillo. Juan has also been denied clemency by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. Their vote was 6-0 against granting clemency. Updated: Monday, May 14, 2018 11:44 am EDT Juan Edward Castillo's execution is scheduled to occur at 6 pm CDT, on Wednesday, May 16, 2018, at the Walls Unit of the Huntsville State Penitentiary in Huntsville, Texas. Thirty-seven-year-old Juan is convicted of the murder of 19-year-old Tommy Garcia, Jr., on December 3, 2003, in San Antonio, Texas. Juan has spent the last 12 years of his life on Texas’ death row. Juan had previously worked as a cook and a laborer. He was previously convicted of deadly conduct with a firearm. During the trial, witnesses also testified that Juan was a violent man, threatening and beating the mother of his child. Additionally, he had previously shot a man during a road rage incident, boasted about similar crimes, and bragged about committing home invasions and robberies. In December 2003, Juan Castillo was dating Debra Espinosa. Late on December 2, and during the early morning hours of December 3, 2003, the couple was with Francisco Gonzales, a friend of Castillo, and Gonzales’ girlfriend Teresa Quintero. The four of them created a plan to rob Tommy Garcia, Jr., with whom Espinosa had previously been intimate. http://www.theforgivenessfoundation.org/index.php/scheduled-executions/4132-texas-gives-juan-castillo-execution-date-of-may-24-2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
