Jonathan Green, Raped & Killed 12 yo Is Going To Die

Man Who Raped, Killed Child to Die
HUNTSVILLE, Texas - DNA tied a loner to the abduction, rape and strangulation of a 12-year-old girl whose charred remains were eventually discovered hidden behind furniture in his dilapidated shack near Houston.
Jonathan Green, 42, was set to be executed Wednesday for the June 2000 murder of Christina LeAnn Neal.
Neal was reported missing after she failed to return home from a friend's home the evening of June 21.
Police questioned Green that month after his wallet was found in woods near clothing and jewelry that had belonged to the missing girl from Mongomery County. But they but did not arrest him.
It wasn't until a month later, when a neighbor reported an unusually large trash fire at the laborer's rural home where he lived alone, that police discovered what looked like a shallow grave on the property about 50 miles northwest of Houston. A police cadaver dog pulled detectives inside the house where Neal's remains were found wrapped in a blanket and stuffed into a blue laundry bag and wedged into a corner behind furniture.
"It was pretty gruesome," recalled Mike Griffin, a former Montgomery County district attorney who prosecuted Green. "He tried to burn her. That didn't work, he buried her and then panicked and put her under the couch."
DNA recovered from her body tied Green to her slaying. A carpet fiber detected on the girl's panties found in the woods was tied to a carpet at Green's home.
Green had been a football star at nearby Montgomery High School in the 1980s but an injury scuttled his athletic future, according to a pastor who testified at Green's 2002 trial.
Gerald Crow, one of Green's trial lawyers, said his defense team tried to show there was insufficient evidence to prove the capital murder charge and that someone else had killed Neal and framed Green. The jury disagreed and convicted him.
At his punishment hearing, two women testified that Green had raped them. A neighbor testified that Green had asked to buy her daughter's pony but was told it was not for sale. The animal disappeared a few days later, then was found dead behind Green's home, stabbed in the chest. A bloody pair of pruning shears was found nearby and carried Green's fingerprint, but he said they had been stolen and that he wasn't responsible for the animal's killing.
Evidence also showed that Green assaulted a fellow jail inmate and an officer while awaiting trial.
Attorneys for Green argued that he should be spared because he was too mentally ill to be executed.
Green declined to speak to reporters as his execution neared.

Green will be the 14th inmate executed this year in Texas, the nation's most active death penalty state, and the first of two Texas prisoners set to die on consecutive evenings this week.

I would watch and I would enjoy it! Call me cold-hearted too. I always thought that if being a witness to executions was a job, I would so sign up for that. You know, go from one to another to another to another.....kind of like a roller coaster tester. (BTW, that is a job, and I would totally do that too.)

Yep, I am sick and I am twisted and I am proud!

Understood.
We should ALL really stop reading and posting here. But if WE don't, who will? Some of these stories literally make me ill. But I think since I am more aware of shit that goes on, I am more vigilant.
Someone's gotta think of the children!

WTF IS GOING ON HERE
Killer of 12-year-old girl wins execution reprieve
HUNTSVILLE, TX (KTRK) -- Condemned murderer Jonathan Green has been spared from execution after the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals agreed to look more closely at arguments he was delusional and too mentally ill to be put to death.
The order from the state's highest criminal appeals court came less than four hours before the 42-year-old Green could have received lethal injection Wednesday evening for the abduction, rape and strangling of a 12-year-old girl near Houston 10 years ago.
Green already had been taken to the death house in Huntsville when he received word of the reprieve.

A Texas man whose lawyers argued was mentally ill and incompetent for execution was put to death Wednesday evening for killing a 12-year-old girl more than a decade ago.

Jonathan Green, 44, received lethal injection after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected last-day appeals to spare him. A judge earlier this week stopped the punishment, but an appeals court overturned the reprieve. Then 11th-hour appeals delayed the punishment nearly five hours past the initial 6 p.m. execution time and as the midnight expiration of the death warrant neared.

Asked by the warden if he had a statement from the death chamber gurney, Green shook his head and replied, "No."

But seconds later he changed his mind, saying: "I'm an innocent man. I never killed anyone. Y'all are killing an innocent man."

He then looked down and said his left arm, where one of the needles carrying the lethal drug was inserted, and said, "It's hurting me bad." But almost immediately he began snoring loudly. The sounds stopped after about six breaths.

Green was pronounced dead 18 minutes later at 10:45 p.m.
[...]

Christina's parents were among people to watch Green die. They declined to speak with reporters following the execution.
[...]

Green's attorneys argued his hallucinations made him ineligible for the death penalty and said a state competency hearing for him two years ago was unfair.

That led to a reprieve from a federal district judge in Houston. But the Texas attorney general's office persuaded the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn that ruling and lift the stay of execution late Tuesday.

Green's lawyer, James Rytting, said his client hallucinated about the "ongoing spiritual warfare between two sets of voices representing good and evil."

The appeals court found the procedures at Green's competency hearing were not improper, that no Supreme Court precedents were violated and that it was reasonable to find Green competent for the death penalty.

Green told a psychiatrist who examined him before the competency hearing that he didn't and couldn't have killed Christina, that false evidence was used against him and that he understood a murder conviction could result in him receiving an injection that would kill him.

Supreme Court guidance says mental illness can't disqualify someone from execution if they understand the sentence and reasons for the punishment, the state lawyers argued.
[...]

Two years ago, Green came within about four hours of execution before the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals stopped the punishment amid similar arguments he was too delusional and too mentally ill to be put to death.
