Texas has executed Matthew Johnson. In his final words, he apologized to relatives of Nancy Harris, the woman he killed after robbing the convenience store where she worked. TCADP is grateful to everyone who stands with us in opposing all executions in Texas.

Gretchen Sween, lawyer for #RobertRoberson, said "there is no justification for the Attorney General's relentless effort to kill an innocent human being—and no state law or moral law that authorizes seeking an execution date under these circumstances." keranews.org/texas-news/202…
