Death row inmate Bryan Wolfe, 44, was executed just after 6 p.m. Wednesday in Huntsville for the 1992 slaying of an 84-year-old woman who was stabbed 26 times during a robbery at her home in Beaumont. Police believe the killer escaped with about $40 from the victim's purse. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to review the case on Monday. Wolfe was on parole from Louisiana and had fled a work-release program when he was arrested for the slaying of Bertha Lemell. A psychologist testifying for the defense blamed Wolfe's actions on intoxication. Wolfe said he had a drug habit. An eighth execution is scheduled Thursday evening. Richard Cartwright, 31, is scheduled to receive a lethal injection for the 1966 robbery and murder of a Corpus Christi man. |
