. . . Defense attorneys began calling witnesses Wednesday to demonstrate that Mullis was the product of an extremely dysfunctional family background rife with neglect and sexual abuse.

Court-appointed defense investigator Gina Vitale told jurors Wednesday that Mullis' mother neglected him, visiting him only 10 times in the first 71 days after his birth, until he was adopted upon her death by her half-brother. That uncle later went to prison for sexually molesting Mullis when he was 6.

Vitale told the jury of five men and seven women that from the age of 4, Travis Mullis was treated for homicidal and suicidal behavior. By the time the molestation by his uncle was discovered, Vitale [sic] was 13 and sent to a Maryland school for troubled juveniles until he was 17. . .

Sick doesn't even begin to cover it.

To paraphrase Andrew Vachss, sick is a condition while evil is a behavior.

This maggot is evil.

“The monster is sitting right here in this courtroom and his name is Travis Mullis,” Assistant Galveston County District Attorney Donna Cameron told jurors.

“There is no medication, there is no treatment for the evil that he is.”

Defense attorneys Robert Loper and Gerald Bourque argued to the seven women and five men on the jury that the terrible events in Mullis life, over which he had no contro, were reason enough for his life to be spared.

“He’s an emotional mental health quadriplegic,” Bourque argued. “It’s not that he’s unwilling, it’s that he’s unable” to feel the emotions that others feel.”

Bourque was referring to testimony that Mullis’ mother’s poor health caused problems in the womb that developed into psychological problems.

Testimony also showed that he wasn’t held enough at birth to form the bond necessary to develop empathy and love, was sexually abused by his adoptive father and had numerous psychological problems.

“No one should have to live the life that Travis Mullis has lived and then die and go to hell for it,” Bourque said.

. . .

Before the closing arguments, Elisor removed a woman juror who the defense accused of violating the judge’s order by discussing the case with other jurors before the jury convened for deliberations.

A woman alternate replaced juror No. 8.

I feel tremendous empathy for adult survivors of child abuse and trauma. It breaks my heart to see that this cycle is very much a truth. However, much as I hate it and would give anything to see it stop, allowing monsters to live because they were created by the very sort of treatment they are now dealing doesn't work for me. It doesn't matter to humans how a dog became vicious. They kill it. This guy is a monster and that won't change. Kill him and put him out of his misery.

GALVESTON, Texas — A Southeast Texas man is going to death row — sent there by a Galveston County jury that convicted him of sexually assaulting his 3-month-old son before stomping him to death in 2008.
The Houston Chronicle reports jurors took three hours Monday to agree on a death sentence for 24-year-old Travis James Mullis of Alvin in the death of his infant son, Alijah.
DNA tests presented during the penalty phase of his trial showed that Mullis sexually abused the child before killing him. Police in Philadelphia, to where Mullis had fled after the death, say he acknowledged stomping the child's skull to stop him from crying.

GALVESTON — A convicted child killer should be put to death, a jury decided Monday in the county’s first death penalty hearing since the mid 1990s.

The jury of seven women and five men that convicted Travis James Mullis on March 11 of capital murder in the stomping death of his son, Alijah, deliberated about three hours before reaching a unanimous decision in favor of the death penalty.

He is going to hell when he dies no matter how he gets there.

I am not a huge fan of the death penalty but this case was tailor made for it.

I seriously hate to bring this one back to the front of the forums...but a "friend" of Caren has posted that Ms. Sporks herself has lost a shit ton of weight, got a trainer, bf, and is planning on having another baby

I wish someone had ripped that bitch's baby-making parts out so she could never hurt/let someone else hurt, her innocent child/ren.

[ineedanap]

Sounds like she's got a huge head start on Casey Anthony.

I'm not really surprised by this. She never believed she was in any way responsible for her child's death.

She proved she in not capable of parenting, and it sickens me to think she will try again.

Yours and my tax dollars will be supporting her and any child she may have in the near future IMO.

A death-row inmate’s decision not to appeal a capital murder conviction could put his execution on a fast track.

If Travis James Mullis passes a psychological examination, then the earliest he could be put to death for the Jan. 29, 2008, stomping death of his 3-month-old son, Alijah, would be April, the inmate said during a Wednesday interview at the Galveston County Jail.

Mullis described the moment he sexually assaulted his son and stomped the life from him as a selfish impulse. A sightseeing couple found Alijah’s lifeless body on a Galveston seawall berm near East Beach.

“The way it ended was not intended,” Mullis said. “It was just more of a holy ... Look what I just did. How am I going to clean this up?”

Mullis left Galveston but surrendered Feb. 1, 2008, and confessed to Philadelphia police that he stomped Alijah until he felt the infant’s skull collapse. It was the only way to stop Alijah from crying, he said. Evidence in his punishment hearing revealed Mullis sexually assaulted Alijah before killing him.

There was no thought process, Mullis said during the videoconference interview with The Daily News. “Then flight took over after that,” he said.
[...]

“I’ve accepted the consequence the jury gave me,” Mullis said. “I’ve accepted the verdict ... I don’t feel it’s necessary to go through it again.”

Mullis doesn’t want to drag his relatives or anyone else through another trial, if it came to that, he said.

“I have a religious and moral belief of an eye for an eye,” Mullis said. “I think the punishment is justified for the crime.”

Is Mullis ready to die?

“I won’t say I want to, but it is the consequence of my actions, and I’m accepting that,” Mullis said.

Mullis urged anyone with emotional instability to seek help.

“Don’t think you can handle it alone, because I couldn’t,” Mullis said. “I could have had just the sexual assault charges, and that by itself. It was unnecessary for any of it to happen.”

If Mullis won’t appeal, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals still would review the trial for constitutional error.

In court documents, Mullis decided to represent himself on an appeal. He has not filed any briefs in the case, First Assistant District Attorney Donna Cameron said. Mullis said he doesn’t intend to.

The court of Judge John Ellisor set a hearing for Mullis on Oct. 11 after a doctor has been able to evaluate Mullis for his competency.

“When I waive my habeas, they’re still going to do the constitutional review on direct appeal,” Mullis said. “Because I’m not filing anything, my habeas will expire Dec. 23. That’s my deadline.”

Anytime after that, Ellisor could affirm his sentence, Mullis said.

“Once it’s affirmed, the judge sets my date, and I can be executed roughly no early than 90 days,” Mullis said. “Which, depending on the court, could be as early as April of next year.”

Mullis explained what it’s like being on death row.

“Despite what I’ve heard from other people, my personal take on it is that it’s really not that bad,” Mullis said. “When I first got there, I had people giving me all kinds of stuff.”

Mullis told them he couldn’t afford to pay them back.

“They’re like, ‘Hey. It doesn’t matter,’” Mullis said. “The next guy that comes to death row with nothing, make sure he has something.”

In his more than three years in jail and state prison, what does Mullis miss the most?

“My son,” he said.

Who would have thought? Good for you, Travis. I hope your ending comes swiftly. I'm just sorry it didn't come as quickly to you as it did to your helpless little baby, Alijah, who only lived 3 months. Justice in this country isn't swift -- you waited longer than 3 months to come to trial. It's been longer than 3 months since you were convicted and sentenced. At least now you see that putting your self-pitying brain in neutral while you did whatever the moment led you to was a criminally, tragically, nightmarishly stupid thing to do. Spread the word, sad sack. It's the only good thing you can do with your wasted life.

[tmdgirl]

Having followed this story from the beginning (and being friends of both Caren and Travis on Fubar), I was extremely happy to see that he got the DP. As much as I hate what he did, and feel that he deserves to die for it, I will say that I think he knows what he did was wrong (and most likely does regret it), and he is taking responsibility for it (like a man).

When his time comes, I hope it is swift.

And as for Caren, I feel she never got what she deserved for her part in Alijah's passing. Hopefully, one day she will.

[Harley_Tech]

As much as I despise this POS I'll give him credit for taking responsibility for what he did and accepting his just punishment.

I'd give 6 months salary to be the one to slowly push the plungers to inject the drugs in this POS.

Mullis described the moment he sexually assaulted his son and stomped the life from him as a selfish impulse.

The expression on his face tells it all.
"Selfish impulse". That is something I don't think I have ever read a baby killer say.
I'll give him hope for a swift ending, but he'll have to negotiate with hell on the rest.

[badfish76]

At least he isn't crying because he got caught like a big, fat, stinky pussy.

I will give him that and we don't have to suffer thru 5 million years of appeals.

He is a special case, IMO, that seriously deserves to die for what he did; no ifs, ands or buts.

Alvin father who killed 3-month-old son in 2008 wants execution

HOUSTON -- The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has upheld a Galveston judge's decision that allows a convicted killer to refuse legal help and waive appeals of his death sentence for killing his 3-month-old son in 2008.
The ruling Wednesday by the state's highest criminal court accelerates the execution process for 25-year-old Travis Mullis. He had to undergo a psychological exam to ensure he was capable of making the request.

[...]
Mullis surrendered to police in Philadelphia three days after the attack, confessing that crushing the boy's skull was the only way to make him stop crying.

a convicted killer to refuse legal help and waive appeals of his death sentence

Kudos to you, sir.

[Dakota Valkyrie]

As the state prepares to set an execution date for Travis James Mullis, the man condemned for stomping the life from his infant son, has had a change of heart and wants to appeal his death sentence.

Mullis, 25, had adamantly opposed appealing his March 2011 capital murder conviction in the Jan. 29, 2008, death of his son, Alijah, who was 3 months old, in Galveston. But a letter Mullis wrote Aug. 20 from death row says he wants to appeal the verdict — even though he missed the July 2 deadline for an appeal.

In September 2011, Mullis said he accepted the consequences and had a religious and moral belief of an eye for an eye. The punishment was justified for the crime, he said in a jailhouse interview with The Daily News.

Mullis waived the appeal of his death sentence from Judge John Ellisor’s 122nd District Court, a pro se waiver affirmed in April by the state’s highest appeals court. Any death sentence, however, results in an automatic appeal, and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reviewed trial transcripts and found no error.

“New evidence has surfaced that was not available at the time I chose to waive my appeal. I hereby request that this court reinstate my appeal and appoint counsel to help me with this appeal,” Mullis’ letter to Ellisor states.

The letter doesn’t give details on the new evidence, but Mullis wrote he would discuss it on the record in court.

Mullis wrote that the decision to waive an appeal was based on misleading and incomplete information.

The appeals court issued an order Wednesday after evaluating Mullis’ letter and the proceedings so far in the case. The court determined that all deadlines for appeals had passed, Galveston County Criminal District Attorney Jack Roady said.
[...]

“We are still communicating about (Wednesday’s) order by the Court of Criminal Appeals,” Roady said. “I anticipate that in the near future, I will be asking the trial court to proceed with scheduling the execution date.”

WTF is there to appeal??? What new evidence could there possibly be? He damn sure did it and it was gruesome!

Fuck this bitch in his prison wallet! What happened to his deep moral belief in an eye for an eye justice?

I hate this fucker and the sooner the rid the earth of him, the better.

[Tundratot]

Too damn bad he's been alive long enough to have second thoughts about his own death. The only good thing about it will be if he's a quaking pussy when they have to drag him to the death chamber.

[Silvahalo]

Travis James Mullis is going to die. Be it by the state or prison folks. People hate this fucker even those sitting amongst filth with him.
Be done with him. done.

Could we really expect any less from this selfish murderer? He's all brave when there's time on his side, but when the as his date got closer--he chickened right out! A blind man in Toledo saw this one coming!!!
