Convicted Crack House Killer Executed (Texas)
KWTX ^ | 11-15-2005 | KWTX

Posted on 11/15/2005 5:51:52 PM PST by COEXERJ145

Robert Dale Rowell, 50, was executed just after 6 p.m. Tuesday in Huntsville for killing two people at a crack house in Houston 12 years ago.

Rowell had already served a sentence and had allegedly killed a fellow inmate before the bloody rampage in 1993 in which Raymond Mata, 38 and Irvin Wright, 52, were killed.

The U.S. Supreme Court refused to review Rowell’s case last month.

Rowell was the 18th inmate executed this year in Texas and the first of two scheduled to die this week.

Condemned inmate Shannon Thomas is scheduled to die Wednesday evening for a triple slaying in Baytown on Christmas Eve in 1993.

Texas gets it. Too bad California is run by liberal, hand-wringing weaklings...death row is a country club.
