Well, in this particular case, he’s probably guilty, but there are many other cases where prosecutors lie and concealed evidence to get people locked up innocent people locked up for their own political aspirations. I hope when he is going to say his last words, he admits the truth because what’s the point of lying at that point

[@diligent_seeker]

Right. Like Rodney Reed (TX) whose execution was halted about 4 yrs. ago, and his case went to Supreme Court which ruled that he could pursue dna testing to prove his innocence. I do think this man is innocent, because there's a lot of evidence against her fiance at the time (who was a Bastrop Co. police officer) as being an abuser of women. it does seem probable that the police dept back then might've planted evidence against Mr. Reed.

Background: "Hosier had an affair with Angela Gilpin (“Victim”) while Victim was married to her husband, Rodney Gilpin. The affair ended, and Victim reconciled with her husband in August 2009. In September 2009, Hosier broke into Victim's apartment and shot and killed Victim and her husband. At the time Victim was killed, her purse contained an application for a protective order against Hosier, service information indicating she knew Hosier had a prior criminal record and possessed several firearms, and a third document stating she was afraid Hosier might shoot her and her husband." - Hosier v. State (2019) May he be in pain until his final breath.

He is a cold blooded murderer. No pity, time to pay. Buh Bye!! After killing Victim and her husband, Hosier fled to Oklahoma, where he was taken into custody by local law enforcement. Police recovered from Hosier's vehicle 15 firearms, numerous forms of ammunition, a bulletproof vest, a crowbar, latex gloves, a homemade police baton, and a knife. All of the firearms found inside the vehicle were loaded except for a STEN submachine gun, which was determined to be the murder weapon. Upon his arrest, Hosier said something to the effect of “shoot me, and get it over with” or “end it” to police numerous times.

Well, "I do believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord and salvation. I believe in God. I believe in reading the Bible", but "not only do I maintain" my innocence, "I am innocent". What all these criminals do is "punish" law enforcement persons by claiming innocence. Something that is terrible in itself goes to vengeful retaliation and retribution. It's like they think and act to a fallacious mindset that claims, "you put me in jail, so I am not going to let you sleep because I will make you think that I am innocent, and you deprived me of my liberty and life". Like that, none of them stand a chance for Salvation because they do not genuinely repent.
