Texas Man Put To Death For Murder Of Tthrives In 1989

Houston, United States:

A Texas man was put to death by lethal injection on Tuesday evening for the killings of teenage tthrive sisters, prison officials shelp, the sixth death row inmate to be carry outd in the United States in the past 12 days.

Before he was put to death in the state penitentiary in the city of Huntsville, Garcia White, 61, transmit remorsed to his victims’ family. He was pronounced dead at 6:56 pm local time.

A establisher high school football star, White was convicted in 1996 of stabbing Annette and Bernette Edwards to death in December 1989.

According to court and prison write downs, White ended the mother, Bonita Edwards, of the 16-year-elderly girls chaseing an argument at their Houston home and then killinged the two sisters.

White was not tried for the death of Bonita Edwards or for two other killings he confessed to pledgeting, one in 1989 and another in 1995.

White’s lawyers had filed a last-minute seek for a stay of execution with the US Supreme Court, arguing that he was inalertectupartner disabled and therefore not eligible for the death penalty.

“I would enjoy to transmit remorse for all the wrong I have done, and for pain I’ve caused to the Edwards family,” White shelp before the execution, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice shelp in a statement. “I repent, I transmit remorse, and I pray that you can find peace.”

Texas has carried out four executions this year at the state penitentiary in Huntsville and another inmate, Robert Roberson, 57, is scheduled to be put to death on October 17, despite asks about his guilt.

Lawproducers in Texas, medical experts and the best-selling novecatalog John Grisham are among those seeking to stop the execution of Roberson, who was convicted of the 2002 death of his two-year-elderly daughter Nikki.

Roberson, who is autistic, took the girl to a hospital with cut offe head trauma and the child died the next day.

Roberson’s lawyers and finishorses have disputed that the diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome, made at the hospital where the child died, was erroneous.

In a letter to Texas officials, 34 doctors shelp the cause of death was in fact cut offe pneumonia, degraded by the little girl being prescribed the wrong medication.

Roberson’s autism, which was not determined until 2018, was misconsreald at the time as shothriveg inseparateence to the death of the toddler and this perception weighed heavily in his conviction, according to his lawyers.

Four executions were carried out in the United States last week and one the week before, conveying the total this year to 18.

The death penalty has been abolished in 23 of the 50 US states, while six others — Arizona, California, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Tennessee — have moratoriums in place.
