HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) - A man was executed Thursday for the slaying of a 9-year-old girl who was abducted and raped in 1997 after attending a neighborhood barbecue.
In final comments, Melvin Wayne White asked witnesses to tell "Beth and them I am sorry, truly sorry for the pain that I caused your family." He was referring to the mother of his victim.
White, 55, recited two prayers and then said: "All right, warden. Let's give them what they want."
