Wesley Ruiz sentenced to death by Dallas jury

Email Print Tell us your story Comment

When the judge granted the defense team in the sentencing phase of Wesley Ruiz's trial a chance to restate their closing remarks, one of those worthies took the opportunity to demonstrate to the jury how slain officer Mark Nix had smashed the window of Ruiz's car before Ruiz shot him. As part of the demonstration, he (the defense lawyer) used a big stick to whack the front of the jury box.

Unmoved by this dramatic performance (at least from a legal standpoint), jurors came back with the death-by-lethal-injection sentence following an eight hour deliberation.
