The local population is indignant about the mysterious Flipflop by the public prosecutor in El Paso, Texas after he decided not to look for the death penalty for Patrick Crusius, the man who already admitted to kill 23 people in a Walmart store because they were Spanish.
Despite the campaign on the promise to look for the deadly injection for Crusius, Democratic Justice James Montoya inquired family members of the Walmart victims that, according to El Paso Matters, he would no longer ask for the highest form of the State.
Montoya has refused to explain his change of heart, with reference to a GAG order as the reason that he cannot publicly accept the greatest matter in the history of the city.
However, the families of the victims and the inhabitants of the sixth largest city in Texas have made it clear that they want Crusius's death penalty.
“We are not going to have a complete closure until there was a trial with a death penalty there,” Dee Margo, who was mayor, said when the shooting and the funeral of each victim attended, on DailyMail.com on Tuesday.
“I think it's wrong. I don't understand. We lost 23 people. '
The massive shooting in 2019, one of the deadliest in American history, rocked the city of West -Texas, while Crusius drove 10 hours from all, Texas to the border with the sole purpose of hunting Latinos in the 85% Spanish community.
The families of many victim did not want to comment because in this case a GAG -Bevel was issued for potential witnesses, however, the outrage in the city broke out on social media.
Angry remarks flooded online forums that shares the Montoya decision, especially because the Democrat just took office in January and defeated the former Republican da Bill Hicks who had made it clear that he would look for the death penalty.

“Keep voting Democrat and this is the result you get,” Instagram user @ludda_gxtti has posted.
'My participation in the families. They don't earn this. '
Former mayor of El Paso Dee Margo, who led the city at the time of the shooting, contradicted Montoya because he was canceled with his promise to look for the death penalty
Many pointed out that Montoya would never have been chosen in the largely democratic city if he had spoken some unwillingness to remove the death penalty.
“El Paso leaders have failed the city of El Paso and its people,” said @ismael_dvl.
Another local joke: 'Can we send him to the El Salvador prison?
The Montoya office refused an interview with DailyMail.com, with reference to the GAG ​​order, but added that there would be a statement regarding his decision.
A spokeswoman confirmed that Montoya had said that he would look for the death penalty on the campaign track and added that he said he would weigh input from all the families of the victims.
This is the second time that Crusius's life is saved, because federal prosecutors also had the opportunity to ask the death penalty because he was separately tried for federal hate crimes in 2023.
The Biden administration decided not to look for the death penalty in the massive shooting at El Paso, even though they were looking for it in two other massive shootings- a decision that Margo called 'racist'.

The Walmart shooting is the largest and most important in the history of El Paso, where many feel that they could easily have been victims

Crusius pleaded guilty of the murder of the 23 victims and the injury of 22 others, as well as hate crimes, in the federal court.
He was sentenced to 90 consecutive life sentences in prison in 2023.
At the time, many survivors were disappointed in the decision of federal public prosecutors, but kept the hope that in the Lone Star State the local public prosecutor would deliver the result that so many many people earn Crussius.
However, the state against Crusius is steeped in set -backs, because this is the third DA to handle the case.
Former public prosecutor Yvonne Rosales, was forced from the office in 2022 after being accused of incompetence and wrong things.
Voters could handle the Democrat when they started to fear that she was unable to prosecute Crusius, the most important legal matter in the history of the city.

After she was driven out, Gov. Greg Abbott the local lawyer Bill Hicks, a Republican.
When taking the check, Hicks made it clear that his number one case was the Walmart mass murder.
However, Hicks was proclaimed in November, largely based on his political conviction, not his creditworthiness because the voters of El Paso are heavy democrat.
“It is a reflection of not having the right character and the power to do what is good,” said Margo about Montoya.
'To say because of the screw of the earlier DA and the lack of evidence, that is a bunch of Bologna. (Crusius) has already permitted guilt, 90 counts, in a federal case. Do not tell me that the evidence is infected. '
