The US Supreme Court has denied a stay of execution to Rodrigo Hernandez, convicted of the murder of Susan Verstegen of San Antonio, Texas. Eva Ruth Moravec has this story for the San Antonio Express-News.
The case had gone cold until Hernandez was DNA-tested after another assault. His DNA also matched a sample from the 1991 murder of Muriel Stoepker, 77, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Update: Last words -- "This stuff stings, man almighty." (We now pause to break out the violins.) The AP reports it as "This stuff stinks, man."
