    The Houston Chronicle reports that Randy Halprin alleges in his federal appeal that ex-Dallas County Judge Vickers Cunningham referred to him with anti-Semitic language.

    Halprin argues that Cunningham should’ve recused himself.

    Halprin was among the inmates who escaped from a South Texas prison in 2000 and committed numerous robberies, including one in which a suburban Dallas police officer was fatally shot.

    Cunningham didn’t respond to the newspaper’s request for comment.

    Cunningham faced allegations of bigotry last year after telling the Dallas Morning News he has a living trust that rewards his children for marrying straight, white Christians.

    He’s still a killer no matter what the judge said.

    Since, the death penalty was reinstated by the Supreme Court in the 1970’s, there have been five or six executions of Jewish men.
