RICHMOND (AP) — Roger Leroy “Animal” De-
Garmo, who dared the state to execute him for the slay
ing of a 20-year-old Houston woman, said he’s “still al
ive and laughing” at a System that has kept him on
death row for 10 years.
“I’m not laughing out of a morbid sense of humor,”
DeGarmo, 35, said from death row. “I’m laughing be-
cause you people are so damn gullible. It’s obvious the
death penalty’s not working in Texas.”
DeGarmo, a former California mechanic, was sen
tenced to death for the Jan. 8, 1979, kidnap-slaying of
Kimberly Ann Strickler, a medical technician.
While he confessed to the slaying on the witness
stand and threatened to kill his jurors if they did not
sentence him to death, DeGarmo now is appealing his
conviction and sentence.
But he and Strickler’s parents say the system doesn’t
work.
“There’s no logical reason why a person with the
death penalty should be alive after eight years. I’ve
been here 10 years flat,” DeGarmo told the Houston
Chronicle. “Are you going to pay for my existence for
another 10 years?”
“If an open and shut case is this difficult, what hap
pens to the really complicated ones?” asked Shirley Par
ish, 56, the victim’s mother.
DeGarmo is seeking a new trial based on alleged
deals former Fort Bend County prosecutors made with
his accomplice, Helen Leydalia Mejia, 32.
DeGarmo and Mejia were accused of kidnapping
Strickler while attempting to steal her car. She was shot
in the head as she lay bound in the trunk of her car.

with Angela Smith, director of the
Heights Main Street project, over
seeing the restoration and redevel
opment plans.
Troegel said the students’ ideas
will be taken into account and a “hy
brid” plan using different student
ideas will then be drawn up.
“Professor Ekroth is really provid
ing a valuable and exciting program
for us,” Troegel said. “His students
have come up with some great ideas.
They are helping create a vision of
the Heights area.”
The students have been divided
into three groups. Each group is re
sponsible for a zone within the
Heights.
Tim McLaughlin, a senior envi
ronmental design major from Long
view, is developing a design for a
zone called the warehouse district, at
Shepherd Drive and 22nd Street
within the Heights. He said working
with the people in the community is
a valuable experience, and he hopes
to change some minds about future
architecture in the area.
“It’s good to get concrete reaction
from the community,” McLaughlin
said. “They tell you exactly what
they expect their neighborhood to
look like.

my design is to expand the bounda
ries and give them new ideas about
what they can do with the area. It’s
more persuasive architecture, to
show them what could be, not just
what is.”
Steve Daniels, a senior environ
mental design major from New Bos
ton, said working on this project
helps students look at a large area in
stead of a single building.
“In this project we deal with ur
ban design in a larger context than
just an individual house,” he said.
“We’re also developing a long-range
plan. This is a project for the
Heights community as a whole.
What we’re doing is important to the
community.”
