Thursday, district attorney Mark Gonzalez filed a motion to have Ramirez's execution withdrawn. In the motion, Gonzalez called the death penalty "unethical" and that it should not be imposed.
Gonzales said his first assistant moved for an execution date to be set and it was done so without him being consulted first. There has been no word on when and if the judge will act on the motion.
