Texas to carry out 25th execution this year
On Thursday, convicted killer Clifford Kimmel,32, will die by lethal injection for his 1999 murders of three people, Rachel White and Susan Halverstadt, both 22, and Brent Roe, 29.
Kimmel left little doubt about his involvement in the torture and fatal stabbings of three people during a 1999 robbery in San Antonio when he pleaded guilty to the slayings as his capital murder trial was getting under way.
The plea left a Bexar County jury with only a decision whether Kimmel should spend life in prison or die for the deaths he perpetrated. Jurors chose death for Kimmel, now 32. Evidence showed two of the victims were injected with a syringe containing a bathroom cleaning fluid before they were stabbed with a Bowie knife by Kimmel and an accomplice.
Kimmel’s lethal injection, set for Thursday, would be the 25th this year in Texas, the nation’s most active capital punishment state. Two more inmates are set to die next week.
