Peter Miniel, who had recently admitted he lied when claiming he was innocent of the murder for which he was convicted, was executed by the State of Texas last night. Like Hocker, Miniel had waived his remaining appeals and had asked to be executed. Though his family attended his execution, Miniel did not speak to them. He also did not address the family of his victim. In his statement confessing to the Associated Press this past month, Miniel claimed to have been high and drunk at the time of the murder. It was a senseless crime with no meaning behind it. Overtaken by drugs and alcohol, Miniel took a man's life. Now, the State of Texas has taken his.
