HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — Texas has executed a parolee convicted of using a baseball bat to fatally bludgeon his girlfriend and her teenage son at their home in San Antonio.
Thirty-six-year-old David Martinez was pronounced dead at 6:18 p.m. Wednesday. He had won permission from the courts to stop appeals attempting to spare his life.
Martinez was on parole after serving five months of a five-year sentence for attempted sexual assault when he was arrested for the slayings of 37-year-old Carolina Prado and her 14-year-old son, Erik.
His execution was the sixth this year in Texas.
