HOUSTON - A judge ruled Wednesday that serial killer Angel Maturino Resendiz, who gained notoriety as the "Railroad Killer" linked to at least 15 murders across the country, is mentally competent to be executed next week for the 1998 rape-slaying of a Texas doctor.

Resendiz' attorneys had argued that the 46-year-old Mexican national believed he was half-man and half-angel and would return three days after he went to the death chamber.

"He knows he's been convicted of capital murder," State District Judge William Harmon said at the conclusion of a three-day hearing Wednesday. "He knows he's received a death sentence and he knows that today. And he knows he's going to be executed on Tuesday."

Now this will be a good use of electricity if the Mexican government, La Raza, ACLU, Mecha or a half dozen other groups aren't able to get the legal system to drop all charges by using the race card.

Well, next week we'll test that theory!

He looks it. I just can't get pics to make it over here.

Thank God they finally decided this nutcase is sane enough to meet his maker.
