## Resource

Texas carried out its fifth execution of the year, ending the life of a man convicted in a 2005 robbery that killed three people — no final statement was given as lethal injection proceeded, despite last-minute appeals denied by the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Georgia halted a scheduled execution for a man convicted of killing two real estate agents in 2003, citing a new state law allowing sentence review for abuse victims. The case is now under scrutiny over claims of juror bias and procedural flaws, with a judge ordering a parole board member to recuse herself due to prior ties to the victims — a request ultimately denied. These developments spotlight the mounting legal and ethical tensions surrounding capital punishment, from execution methods to fairness in appeals and clemency.
