(May 4, 2006)—A Texas death row inmate convicted of killing a 5-year-old girl was executed just after 6 p.m. Thursday in Huntsville.
Jackie Barron Wilson was sentenced to die for the 1988 murder of Maggie Rhodes of Arlington.
Investigators say Wilson had been drinking, used cocaine and unsuccessfully attempted a sexual elsewhere about an hour before breaking into the girl's home.
Wilson had been in the apartment before. He knew the child's live-in baby sitter.
He was convicted and condemned in 1989, his conviction was overturned on a technicality, then
Wilson was convicted against in 1994.
The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles declined this week to commute Wilson's sentence.

That poor little girl is in God's arms.
The retched SOB who killed her, let's just say... isn't.

Sick animal should have been hung in 1988. I agree. We really need to bring back hanging in the courthouse square. Hang several at a time to clear out the backlog.

My wife just called Texas the "fry 'em and go State". Instant Justice, it's like instant breakfast, only cooler!

After taking the entire month of April off from executions, I was beginning to think the state of Texas was going soft on criminals.
