Convicted killer says death penalty is fine by him

FORT WORTH  A man convicted of capital murder told jurors deciding his fate Tuesday that he killed three people and he didn’t care whether he lived or died.

“I am as undecided as you are,” Christopher Chubasco Wilkins, 39, told the jurors. “You’ve got a job to do. You tell the judge ‘get a rope’ or not. … Look, it is no big deal. It is no big deal.”

The jurors, who convicted Wilkins last week of killing Willie Freeman and Mike Silva on Oct. 27, 2005, returned a death sentence for him after about 90 minutes of deliberation.

Several of the jurors cried as the judge announced their verdict, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. Wilkins mouthed, “It is OK. It is OK” to them.

As he took the stand to testify, Wilkins told jurors that he killed Freeman out of revenge over a drug deal. He said Silva was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He also said he killed Gilbert Vallejo because he made him mad. Vallejo died outside a bar during a dispute about a pay phone on Oct. 26, 2005.

Wilkins told jurors he had wanted to plead guilty and go straight to the penalty phase but that his attorneys objected. He said he hadn’t wanted his family to be called to testify on his behalf about his childhood.

He thanked the prosecutor for not cross-examining the family members who begged for his life to be spared.

Wilkins told jurors he wasn’t mentally ill and that his crimes couldn’t be blamed on his drug use.

“When I get wound up, I have a fuse that is short. I don’t think about what I am doing. I don’t care,” Wilkins said.

Wilkins was sent from a federal prison in California to a halfway house in Beaumont in 2005. When Hurricane Rita struck, he was sent to a Houston halfway house. He said he got a day pass and went to his ex-girlfriend’s house to try to see his three children.

When that didn’t work out, he said, he went to a strip club and later stole a truck and drove to Fort Worth.

After his arrest, Wilkins said, he started trying to figure a way to break free. He falsely confessed to killings across the country in hopes that police would take him out of jail and he could escape.

When asked by a defense attorney whether he wanted to die, Wilkins responded: “I guess, subconsciously, I’ve been trying to get myself killed since I was 12 or 13 years old. I don’t have nothing to live for. I haven’t been any good to anybody for the last 20 years and I won’t be for the next 20 or the 20 after that.”

Asked by prosecutors if he was going to change, Wilkins replied, “I believe it’s a little late.”

Why are we wasting anymore time and money on this shit of the earth. Kill him and be done…he’s in the right state. Let me do it….or let the family members of the people he harmed do it. One way or another …KILL HIM.
