It's been several weeks since we've given anyone the Lethal Needle in Texas. But last night 35 year old Michael Rosales was put to sleep in the Texas Death Chamber in Huntsville.Rosales beat a 67 year old woman, Mary Felder, to death during a burglary in June of 1997.
It does not appear that this execution might be one that could later be determined to be a mistake due to DNA testing.
Since it has been awhile since we've had a state sanctioned killing here, I don't remember what the current count for the year is. The little blurb about last night's killing, on page 3 of this morning's Dallas Morning News, did not mention what the death total for the year is.
Rosales last words were, "I love you all. May the Lord be with you. Peace. I'm done." And then he got the Lethal Needle.
