Like I said before: it happens everywhere, no place is safe. Small towns are not immuned to crime. small towns aren't immuned to Drug use either. I just thought small towns would be easier to control this devastation happening in Our world.. I guess not.. I am sad for the innocent babies these boys made while they were so young. Hoping history doesn't repeat itself down the family.

Murder is a mighty big mistake, an innocent man is dead because of this so called good kid who was just with the wrong crowd. Did this good kid dial 911? Did this good kid try to stop this? Nope, he was in it for the "THRILL OF THE KILL", just like all of the rest. If anyone in my family murdered someone just to do it, then I would be the first to say that they need to pay for it.

Like I said before, they were all there for the "THRILL TO KILL", so none of them should be excused. As far as I am concerned they are all the "shooter", the gun was just in one of their hands, if they had passed the gun around, then one of the other would have been the "shooter". None of them tried to stop it, they are all quilty of the same crime. An innocent man was killed, and the family is suffering. It is a little late to say "they just got mixed up with the wrong crowd".

Yoakum their are lots of people in jail and prison that where really good kids and just got mixed up in the wrong crowd. But that is the choice he made and now he should face the consequences. People must be held responsible for their actions, making excuses for someone is whats wrong with kids and society today.

yoakum, would you feel the same way if it had been someone in your immediate family that was robbed and killed?

MISTAKES?!?!?!? Two plus two equals five is a mistake. Capital murder is a mistake? An error in judgement? Give me a break. These thugs are criminals of the worst sort. Yeah, Hugo is really a good kid who got mixed up with the wrong crowd. I guess breaking into a house to commit a burglary was just an accident, huh? Maybe, just maybe he didn't intend for anyone to get hurt, but the underlying burglary WAS intentiional. They're all guilty of capital murder due to the initial burglary felony. Now, maybe a jury will only want to give the needle to the one who actually pulled the trigger, but they're ALL equally guilty. Any of them could have not gone along with the break-in. Any of them could have stopped the killing. Any of them could, but none of them did.

Errors in judgement. Wrong crowd. Yeah, right.

As for would I be quick to talk if a member of my family did something like that, I can't answer that. I can't imagine any member of my family committing capital murder. There have been some (me included) who have had traffic tickets. A cousin got a ticket for a burned out license plate light once. That's about as bad as it gets in my family. Felonies just don't seem to be common in my family; I don't know about good ol' Hugo's family.

I agree w/you! So many kids do get mixed up with the wrong crowd. And everyone needs to watch they say! Make sure you are not passing judgement.

ok ya they did what they did but no one is perfect so until u are dont poin the finger at other people.everyone makes mistakes. How would u like it if a member of ur family did something of that sort would u be just as quick to talk. Hugo is really a good kid he just got mixed in the wrong crowd.

journalismajor..."think of the families of these young men. Would you really appreciate if people who did not even know your sons saying how they should be killed?"

The crime is capital murder, not another trespass. They entered the home with the intent to commit burglary and ended up killing a man who lived there. Yeah, "the needle" is very appropriate for these thugs and I don't give a hoot in hell WHAT their families think. I honestly don't think their families are very concerned about them either. If they had families who cared, and who raised them properly with respect for others and their possessions, they wouldn't be in the situation in which they find themselves.

"They need punishment, but there's more logic on them having to think about their crime for the rest of their lives than killing them for personal revenge."

The executioners table is exactly the punishment that is appropriate for these thugs. Thinking about their crime for the rest of their lives is hardly punishment. They DON'T CARE about what they did or the anguish they caused the family of the man they murdered. The only thing they care about is that they got caught. They have no conscience. If they were to be sentenced to life with no parole, they could conceivably live another 50 or 60 years of more at taxpayers expense. Hardly a good way to spend tax dollars. And executing them is not personal revenge; it is justice.

too bad the Advocate deleted victorian's comment I am sure it was interesting repost it so I can see it.

Wow people, what is with the hostility towards one another? It seems a bit childish that (victorianbybirth) people have to start with accusations towards others who merely have an opinion of the situation. Grow up a little and realize that pointing fingers is only going to lead to worse things for the whole story.

Hessler didn't have a criminal trespass charge he had the deadly conduct charge which clearly states he is a deadly person, Reynosa had the misdemeanor criminal trespass charges which simply mean he wasnt allowed on a business premises and went there, okay

So you know I have to comment on this. Yes I know mistakes happen, but whats the rule on this. "Fool me once, shame on you, Fool me twice?" Well you know rest. Any how isn't it obvious that Hessner has a bit of a problem into knowing where his boundries are. He has a tendency to lets say "Trespass" alot, why wasn't he given a stiffer sentence, and maybe have his mind altered before committing a 3rd offense of,(oh here's that word again). "TRESPASS", but this time it's really serious, he killed my grandfather. Yes its bad to say these guys should die via the "Needle" but did my grandfather really have to die painfully with a shotgun round to his chest. Let me tell you guys, that snorting sound that my cousin spoke about in the Affividate, That isn't the snorting you do while sleeping. It's called agonal breathing. It's what your body does when its trying to survive, Its a sign that your dying and your body knows it. I am a Navy Hospital Corpsman and I have dealt with this snorting sound, so I SPECIFICALLY know what I am talking about! So yes I am turning the page of how horrible death is. But either way. I read how the 16 year old made a scene. I dont know about you but it sounds like this kid doesnt have respect for authority(POLICEMEN), so this kid makes up his own rules. lets slap him with this thing called the law. he acts like an adult he thinks he is an adult, lets treat him like one. "Do the Crime, Serve the Time".

By thw way, where is the 5th subject? Is he stilllll being sought by Yoakum PD? Is it b/c Reynosa only could tell them the name of "Tada"? C'mon do some of the work yourself since Reynosa did the rest. Must be pretty easy policework when the criminals solve their own homicide cases...thats just pitiful...lol

I've seen munerous pics up of Hessler and Reynosa. Where is the pic of Ibara. Why isn't he getting his share of publicity? Wasn't he there as well? Just b/c he got his high school diploma and doesn't have a criminal history means he is "the good guy" in all of this? c'mon now let's be fair... Put all three of their mugshots up not just two.

yeah, but why should taxpayers foot the bill? It's pretty hard on the family knowing that their sons are rotting away, and no telling what else, in prison.

Ok. Sure these guys are scum, but to those who keep saying how they are "thinkin' the needle would be more appropriate," think of the families of these young men. Would you really appreciate if people who did not even know your sons saying how they should be killed? They need punishment, but there's more logic on them having to think about their crime for the rest of their lives than killing them for personal revenge.

SpaceAngel..."They all need to go down for a long time, like life without parole."

I'm thinkin' the needle would be more appropriate. Reynosa graduated to big boy crime. Capital murder for his first felony arrest; I guess somebody told him he should aim high.

COPIED: Reynosa had 3 MISDEMEANOR charges (not felony). He had possession of marijuana & criminal trespass.

So, he finally got his felony, DUH! He was just a "little" criminal before, now his is in for big time.

As for the "shooter", they all did it as far as I am concerned, the gun just happened to be in one guy's hand, but if it had been in another guy's hand, then he would have been the "shooter", they were all there, they did not stop it, they were all there for the "THRILL OF THE KILL". They all need to go down for a long time, like life without parole.

Like I said before, to me it really does not matter who was the "shooter". They were all there, so the one with the gun in his hand at the time was the "shooter". They could have passed the gun around, and another one would have been the "shooter". They all need to be charged with capital murder, regardless of their past criminal history. An innocent man is dead, because they wanted a thrill.

After the 3rd arrest, why was this scum not put away. Hopefully know the authorites will do the right thing. They took an innocent man's life!!!!!

AS YOU CAN SEE REYNOSA IS NOT A GOOD PERSON AT ALL HE ALSO HAS A KID AND DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF IT. LOOK AT HIS RECORD MAYBE NOW THIS SOB WILL BE PUT AWAY.

hmmm..where's everyone now saying what a good kid Reynosa is?
