Texas executed the first man of the year tonight. Shortly after 6:00 CST tonight, James Porter was pronounced dead. Porter had dropped all of his appeals and asked to be executed. It was a state sponsored suicide. A former white supremacist, the 33 year old Porter killed a fellow prisoner who was serving a sentence for molesting a child. At the time, Porter thought of it as a service to society. Recently, however, Porter acknowledged he should not have taken Delgado's life and talked openly about his religious conversion.
