Anthony Quinn Francois has been sentenced to death. (See Slam Dunk, cont., below.)
Unfortunately, justice has one more obstacle to get past: the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, sometimes known as "He's Such a Nice Boy, Let's Let Him Go". The wise TCCA will release anybody for almost anything, so even though the jury stepped up and did the right thing, it's not a done deal unless the prosecutors were extremely careful not to commit any reversible errors during the trial.
Fingers crossed. If anybody deserves the needle, this guy does.
