A Texas prisoner apologized one last time to the family of the teen he killed in 2000, before he uttering a chilling phrase to the warden
The haunting last words of a man sentenced to death for kidnapping, sexual assault, and murder, Ramiro Gonzales, ended with a chilling, "Warden, I'm ready" before he was finally given a lethal injection.
He then addressed the family of Bridget Townsend: "Patricia, I'm sorry. David, I'm sorry. To all your family I'm sorry. I just want you to know I love you guys and I lived the best that I could to give it all back. To my family, my friend thanks you for all the support every decision I made everything I said in this penal system was based on how it will reflect on you guys. And Bridget, I lived my life for you guys.
Gonzales and his team were fighting the death sentence, with the prisoner pleading that he's become a model prison citizen. Gonzales claims he's undergone a spiritual transformation and is "deeply sorry" for his past actions. The tragic end to Bridget Townsend's life came to light in October 2002, two years after she vanished. Ramiro Gonzales, who was already imprisoned for kidnapping and sexual assault, led the police to a remote area in Southwest Texas where he had disposed of her remains.
Furthermore, they pointed out that a prosecution expert, whose testimony previously suggested Gonzales would be a future danger key factor in securing the death penalty, has now acknowledged his assessment was wrong.
