Texas set to execute white supremacist John King vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Unless the nation’s highest court grants his plea for a stay of execution, King is to be put to death by lethal injection at 6:00 pm Central Time at the Texas State Penitentiary in Huntsville, Texas.
Berry testified during his trial that he and the two others were out drinking beer and cruising in a 1982 Ford pickup truck when they picked up Byrd, who was hitchhiking, and drove him to a remote country road. The killing horrified the US public and kindled memories of the era of racist lynchings of African-Americans in the South.
“Despite Mr. King’s explicit and repeated requests, his counsel conceded his guilt to murder at trial.”
