Texas Seven escapee seeks to hasten execution

 I am hoping the others will do likewise.

One of six notorious Texas prison escapees now on death row for the Christmas Eve 2000 killing of an Irving police officer is hoping to speed up his execution.

Michael Anthony Rodriguez has notified court officials that he wants to drop all appeals efforts. If a federal judge allows the move, Mr. Rodriguez would probably become the first member of the Texas Seven gang to face execution.

For those who don’t know, Aubrey Hawkins, the Irving police office that was killed by them was one of my best friends.  He was a really neat guy, and a really good police office.
