Anzel Jones
Facts of The Case
Anzel Jones, an African American male, was 17 years old when he was arrested in May 1995 for the murder of Sherry Jones. On May 2, 1995, Anzel Jones broke into the Texas home of Sherry Jones (no relationship) and her mother, Edith. While Edith Jones was locked in the bedroom, Anzel Jones apparently stabbed Sherry Jones in the chest, and cut her throat (Anzel Jones was possibly accompanied by another man). As Edith Jones came out of the bedroom, Anzel Jones sexually assaulted her and cut her throat. The house was then set on fire, but Edith Jones survived and testified against Anzel Jones. Edith’s daughter, Sherry Jones, died. Anzel Jones was charged with capital murder on June 27, 1995. He was convicted as charged and sentenced to death on June 3, 1996. An execution date has been set for April 29, 2004.

Cella's Review said it best
Once again the United States Supreme Court has demonstrated that it is a lawless institution, willing to usurp the legislative authority of the nation and abuse power not given to it. Yesterday the Court legislated, in the manner of a national parliament or assembly, against the execution of minors convicted of capital offenses. The five justices of the majority again made themselves our final Lawgiver.
