Ramirez was sentenced to death for murdering Corpus Christi convenience store clerk Pablo Castro. After a previous execution was halted, Ramirez won a Supreme Court case over death row inmates’ religious rights.
John Ramirez, 38, convicted of murdering a Corpus Christi convenience store clerk in 2004, is scheduled to be executed Wednesday, despite the objection of the Nueces County district attorney. And even though Ramirez’s execution has been delayed three previous times, his attorney said he has no further legal opportunities to stop the state’s latest attempt to put him to death.
Ramirez’s legal team, with the support of Gonzalez, filed motions to both the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and the District Court of Nueces County to halt the process. But as of Sunday, both attempts had failed. Gonzalez’s office requested dates for Ramirez’s execution three times since 2016, but he told The Texas Tribune that he didn’t know it was possible to avoid setting a date. When he learned his office did not have to set an execution date, he opted not to do so.
Two days later, when Gonzalez learned of the error, he attempted to cancel the warrant, but Galvan denied the request. As a last effort, Gonzalez and Kretzer, Ramirez’s attorney, attempted to withdraw the warrant of execution in the District Court of Nueces County last week. On Sunday, the local court denied the motion.
