HUNTSVILLE, Texas - A man convicted of the fatal stabbing of his girlfriend’s 3-year-old son has been executed.

In a brief final statement, Carlos Granados, 36, expressed love to his family and others and addressed Katherine Jiminez, his former girlfriend and the mother of the child he killed more than eight years ago.

"Kathy, you know I never meant to hurt you," he told the woman who also suffered 27 stab wounds during the attack. "I gave you everything and that’s what made me so angry. But I never meant to hurt you. I’m sorry."

She stood up against the death chamber window as he made his statement, but Granados never looked at her.

I gave you everything and that’s what made me so angry.

He didn't know the knife was loaded.

Takin out the trash in Texas. Why don't liberals see this as civilized recycling?

"Kathy, you know I never meant to hurt you," he told the woman who also suffered 27 stab wounds during the attack.

...I only meant for those 27 thrusts of the knife to serve as a warning. I had no idea it would hurt.

Sheesh... So many criminals honestly believe everyone else are idiots.

"...But I never meant to hurt you...."

Sheesh, this guy had an ego the size of Texas. It'll make some happy that his self esteem was intact throughout his harrowing ordeal.

[COEXERJ145]

This one certainly does.

There are a few who do the right thing and, admit their crime, accept their punishment, apologize to their victim's family, and make their peace with God.

Hope he enjoys Hell.......P.O.S.

There is a guy coming up for execution on the 25th who has been on death row since January 8, 1976.

Why must these "people" exist?

I don't get it. They die convinced that they are good people.

That child is surely in the loving arms of God. May the Lord have mercy on the murderer's soul.

Bye-bye, dirtbag!

AP writes as if that were a "Bad Thing".

Texans have other notions.

[goldstategop]

Sure he didn't. The murderer-loving crowd doesn't care he killed a child and nearly killed the mother. Well, I do. Good riddance.

Guaranteed the scumbag will not do it again. Nice going. More clean air for us to breathe.

[alisasny]

7 years of bed bath and food had indeed convinced him he was good and worthy.

[Clintonfatigued]

Whatever suffering he endured (given a pain-killer before receiving a lethal dosage) was far surpassed by what he inflicted on his victims and their loved ones.

Justice is done.
