The Latest: Late appeal in Texas execution case rejected
HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — The Latest on the scheduled execution of a Texas inmate for a 1997 shooting rampage near Houston that left five people dead (all times local):
Houston activist Ward Larkin's appeal Wednesday came just hours before Coy Wesbrook's scheduled execution for a 1997 shooting rampage that left five people including his ex-wife dead.
Larkin asked for Wesbrook's trial court to again review claims that the former security guard and delivery driver is mentally impaired and ineligible for the death penalty.
