USA - Texas. Death sentence of Humberto Garza vacated
1 MIN READ
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Wednesday vacated the death sentence of Humberto Garza, who was found guilty of killing six men in Hidalgo County in 2003. Garza argued, and the court agreed, that his lawyers at trial were ineffective because they did not present or investigate potential mitigating evidence, such as a childhood surrounded by drugs and violence.
