A man sentenced to death for killing a police officer will be executed Wednesday night in the southern US state of Texas, despite suspicions of racism that have clouded his trial.
If only the Supreme Court USA After receiving a last-minute reprieve, Wesley Ruiz, a 43-year-old Hispanic American, will receive a lethal injection in a Huntsville City jail.
In 2007 in Dallas – also in Texas- Ruiz was pursued by the police, who suspected that his car was involved in the murder.
At the end of the chase, he shot and killed a policeman who was trying to break the glass of his car with a baton. In the end, the bullet killed this agent.
During the trial, Wesley Ruiz claimed he feared for his life and shot himself in “self-defense”, according to local press reports. The jury still sentenced him to death.

In the following years, his lawyers unsuccessfully filed various appeals to challenge the verdict.
As the date of execution approached, they filed an urgent appeal, alleging that the jury relied on “overtly racist” elements and “overtly hostile anti-Spanish stereotypes” in assessing Ruiz’s danger.
His appeal was rejected at first instance and is now pending before the Supreme Court.
Wesley Ruiz also joined the lawsuit filed by several death row inmates from Texas They accuse the state prison services of allowing lethal substances used in executions to expire.

Espacio Vital: Dr. José Suárez Reyes, neurologist and head of the department of neurodegenerative diseases at the National Institute of Neurological Sciences, said involuntary movements are considered rare and may be neurological in origin or secondary to another type of disease. He explained that neurological movements include tremors, dystonia (sprains), and myoclonus (hiccough-like shaking). A specialist in involuntary movements pointed out that they distinguish between a resting tremor when a person does not make any movements, and an intentional tremor when moving.
