Man who fatally shot Dallas police officer in 2007 faces execution Wednesday
Last week, U.S. District Judge David Godbey in Dallas denied a request to stay Ruiz's execution, saying his attorneys failed to show that jurors made statements during the trial that showed"overt racial bias." On Monday, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals denied a similar stay request based on alleged racial bias. The appeals court did not consider the merits of the claim but rejected it on procedural grounds.
The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles on Monday unanimously declined to commute Ruiz's death sentence to a lesser penalty. Gabriel Luchiano, who knew Nix when the officer worked as a security guard, said he always responded quickly when people needed help at the convenience store in northwest Dallas where Luchiano worked.
