HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A paroled robber from Alabama was executed Tuesday night for gunning down a pharmacist who refused to surrender drugs during a holdup at his store nearly 19 years ago.
James Roy Knox, 50, was the 13th condemned prisoner to die by injection this year in Texas, where a record 40 inmates were executed last year.
Asked if he had a final statement, he replied, "No, I'm ready. I'm ready."
