Execution Watch 7/18/12

Posted on 6:00 AM by Unknown

The state that carries out more executions than any other state is ready to kill again. This time Texas will use a single lethal dose of pentobarbital due to shortages in supplies of sodium thiopental.

ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT, TEXAS PLANS TO EXECUTE:

YOKAMON HEARN, 33. Mr. Hearn was sentenced to die in the 1998 slaying of a North Dallas man who was abducted from a coin-operated car wash, driven to a secluded area and shot to death. The victim's Mustang was found the next day in a shopping center parking lot. Hearn, who was 19 at the time of the crime, has been on death row since New Year's Eve 1998.

For more information on Mr. Hearn, click here.
