[history]
A 44-year-old Texas man was executed Thursday evening for raping and murdering an 11-year-old girl, despite pleas from his attorneys he was too mentally impaired to qualify for capital punishment.
Bobby Wayne Woods received lethal injection about a half-hour after the U.S. Supreme Court refused to halt his punishment, which was delayed briefly until the high court ruled in his case. His lawyers had argued Woods was mentally impaired, making him ineligible for execution, and that previous appeals to spare Woods' life were unsuccessful because of shoddy work by his lawyer at the time.

On April 30, 1997, Woods entered the home of his ex-girlfriend, Schwana Patterson, through an open window. He then beat and sexually assaulted Patterson's 11-year-old daughter, then abducted her and her nine-year-old brother and took them to a cemetery. There, Woods severely beat the boy about the head, resulting in serious injury and murdered the girl by cutting her throat.

Even if he was retarded, he was too dangerous to be allowed the possibility of escaping and killing again.
Good riddance.

Could have been worse. They could have raped him back before they killed him back.
