  • Angel Maturino Resendiz: the Railroad Killer
    http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/serial_killers/notorious/resendez/track_1.html Angel Maturino Resendiz: The Railroad Killer BY Joseph Geringer Terror Near Tracks One of the more romantic elements of American folklore has been the crisscrossing rail system of this country — steel rails carrying Americans to new territories across desert and mountain, through wheat fields and over great rivers. Carl Sandburg has flavored the mighty steam engine in elegant prose and Arlo Guthrie has made the roundhouse a sturdy emblem of America's commerce. But, even the most colorful dreams have their dark sides. For nearly two years, a killer literally followed Wheatfield America's railroad tracks to slay unsuspecting victims before disappearing back into the pre-lit dawn. His modus operandi was always the same — he struck near the rail lines he illegally rode, then stowed away on the next freight train to come his way. Always ahead of the law. Angel Maturino Resendiz, 39 years old, was apprehended early this month (July, 1999) after eluding state police for two years and slipping through a two-month FBI net until, after nine alleged murders, he was finally traced and captured by a determined Texas Ranger. Known, for apparent reasons, as "The Railroad Killer," Angel Resendiz (who was known throughout much of the manhunt by the alias Rafael Resendez-Ramirez) has been called "a man with a grudge," "confused," hostile" and "angry" by the police, the news media and psychiatrists. He is an illegal immigrant from Mexico who crossed the international border at will. Most of his crimes took place in central Texas, but he is suspected of having killed as far north as Kentucky and Illinois.

I don’t think the Mexicans will ever solve even one of the crimes. The book explored every possible avenue, and I believe that all of them are correct. The cops probably are involved, there were copycats, there was the Mexican version of a serial killer, the traffickers did their part, and maybe even the rich men had their hand in it. The government doesn’t care.

Blume “The Things that Death will buy”: A Sociolegal Examination of Texas Death-Sentenced Prisoners Who Sought Execution by Meredith Martin Rountree, A.B.; J.D. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2012 Dedication To RCO Acknowledgements None of this turned out as I had planned – for which I am profoundly grateful. I went to graduate school to “cool out” my reputation with certain criminal justice agencies and to gain some new skills. Just a few classes with Gideon Sjoberg, however, had me enthralled with the sociological enterprise. I continue to be influenced by the breadth and depth of his sociological vision. It was an honor to be his student. Like Professor Sjoberg, every member of this committee has taught and shaped me in ways I suspect they are scarcely aware. Mark Warr has been a wonderful companion in criminology, always encouraging, supportive, and generous in sharing his knowledge and insights. Sheldon Ekland-Olson and Deb Umberson spurred my inchoate interest in the sociology of death and dying. I was also fortunate enough to be teaching assistant to each, experiences that made me a better teacher.

Fulbruge III Clerk 06-70023 CARLOS GONZALEZ MAGALLÓN, Consul General of Mexico and Next Friend of Angel Maturino Resendiz, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. BRAD LIVINGSTON, Executive Director, Texas Department of Criminal Justice; DOUGLAS DRETKE, Director, Correctional Institutions Division Texas Department of Criminal Justice; CHARLES O’REILLY; UNKNOWN EXECUTIONERS, Defendants-Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges. BENAVIDES, Circuit Judge: Earlier this week, the Supreme Court decided that Eighth Amendment challenges to a state’s method of execution may properly be brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. See Hill v. Crosby, __ U.S. __, No. 05-8794, slip op. (June 12, 2006). We have such a suit before us today. In this opinion, however, we only address narrow issues of civil procedure. The result is that we affirm in part and modify in part, remanding for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. I. BACKGROUND Angel Resendiz is a Mexican national who was convicted of capital murder in Texas in 1998. His execution date, originally set for March 10, 2006, was reset by the state for June 27, 2006. The nominal plaintiff in this case is Carlos Magallón, the Consul General of Mexico, suing as Resendiz’s next friend.1 The Consul General brought this lawsuit in March 2006 after Resendiz failed to appeal timely a district court’s denial of his habeas corpus petition.
