A man on death row in Texas demanded that the execution be suspended so that he could donate his kidneys before he was sentenced to death.
The idea came to 39-year-old prisoner Ramiro Gonzalez through a communication with Canter Michael Zuzuman, a prominent defender of the death penalty and a former prison chaplain. Zoosman revealed a story about his synagogue parishioners in need of a kidney transplant.
Zoosman writes to all American convict on death row prisoners. He doesn’t always reply, but he has been in contact with Gonzales since January 2021. Gonzales is scheduled to be executed on July 13, and he is asking the state for 30 days.
“He was very enthusiastic about learning about Jewish ideas about forgiveness and repentance,” Zoosman said. The pair exchanged books, poems and artwork. In one letter, Mr. Zuzuman said his congregation was looking for a kidney donor for women in their community.
“He jumped at it,” Zuzuman said of Gonzales. He admitted that his destiny was sealed, but he wanted to find a “way to save his life.”
Gonzales wasn’t comparable to a woman, but he continued to seek ways to become a kidney donor.
Kelly Brakinger, Marshall ProjectVisited Gonzales on Wednesday in a condemned cell in Huntsville, Texas. In an hour-long interview, Gonzales told her Ms. Breaker: When you rob the world of something very valuable, how do you repay it? you don’t. You are spending all these years trying to return. “
“He said,’How can I get my life back? This is probably one of the closest things I can do. I don’t want to say that I’ll save someone’s life, but I want someone to die. I’m preventing it. “
Blacking, who has covered Texas death row prisons for five years, said this was the first request of this kind she covered.
“I don’t know if the logistics of this will work for him. He’s having a hard time getting approval through the state. He poisons him because the death drug poisons him, so he puts it in his organs after his death. It cannot be signed, so he must make a live kidney donation before being executed. “
Gonzales blood type is rare: type B. According to the National Kidney Foundation, 13 people die every day in the United States waiting for their kidneys.
Thea Posel, one of Gonzales’ lawyers, told KRLD Radio in Dallas because of the rare blood type: .. “
“We really want him to be given the opportunity. It’s really important to him from his religious point of view. It’s an opportunity for atonement and it may be a way he can make some atonement. No. I think it’s hard to prevent this. “
Gonzales was born in Dilly, Texas and raised by his grandparents. His cousin, as part of a video filed for another amnesty proceeding, said their childhood was one of physical, immunity, and * negligence and abuse. Gonzales became involved in heavy medicine.
Gonzales was sentenced to death in 2006 for the kidnapping, assault and murder of 18-year-old Bridget Townsend. He was 18 years old and spent 15 years in the line of death when he committed the crime.
At trial, expert witness Dr. Edward Gripon testified that Gonzales had an antisocial personality disorder. Last year, Gripon reassessed Gonzales and said in June: “At this point, especially in retrospect, we do not diagnose him as an antisocial individual.”
Gripon, who has evaluated the proceedings more than 8,000 times, said in a video as part of Gonzales’ amnesty claim: I often see it. “
Raul Schoenemann, another Gonzales lawyer, said in a statement that his client “does not pose a danger to others.”
“A death sentence contaminated with false and misleading testimony should not be substantiated,” the lawyer added.
In a statement Independent, Amanda Hernandez, Communications Director of the Texas Criminal Justice Department, said: The Texas Department of Criminal Justice complies with the Correctional Managed Health Care Policy E-31.2. Gonzales was considered an ineligible donor for the request. He will be executed on July 13, 2022. “
