HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) - A career burglar was executed Thursday for torturing and killing a retired couple while breaking into their home in 1999.
Newton Anderson, 30, looked at relatives and friends of the victims, telling them, "I hope you get what you want and it makes you feel better and gives you some kind of relief. I don't know what else to say."
Anderson, who said he began stealing from homes even before he was a teenager, had been out of prison for only four months after serving time for burglary when he was arrested in the slayings.
