Murderers!

What I want people to know is, that they call me a cold-blooded killer. I shot a man who shot me first. The only thing that convicted me is that I'm a Mexican and he was a police officer.

From there you call me a cold-blooded murderer...I didn't tie anybody to stretcher. I didn't pump poison into anybody's veins from behind a locked door. You call this justice. I call this and your society a bunch of cold-blooded murderers!

- Henry M. Porter, executed in Texas by injection on July 9, 1985 for killing a policeman.
