The case of Karla Faye Tucker
Cal Thomas argues strong death penalty support for first degree murderers remains warranted in Tucker’s Texas case. He notes Tucker, 38, faces a February execution for the ax murders of two Houston residents in 1983. He rejects claims that faith or conversion excuses past acts and warns of broader legal and social implications.
