Lots of capital headlines from the Lone Star State
Texas is always making news when it comes to the administration of the death penalty, and yesterday had a number of notable headlines about a number of notable cases:
An execution: "El Paso death row inmate Justen Grant Hall executed for woman's strangulation in 2002"
A removal from death row: "Bobby Moore's death sentence is changed to life in prison after lengthy court fights over intellectual disability"
Increasing attention to innocence claim for person scheduled to be executed Nov 20: "Texas is about to execute a man for murder. His lawyers say someone else confessed to the crime."
UPDATE: A helpful reader made sure I did not miss another notable Texas capital headline today:
A stay: "Federal judge delays execution of “Texas Seven” prisoner over claims of religious discrimination"
