Sept. 24 (UPI) — Texas executed Travis Mullis on Tuesday night, 16 years after sexually assaulting his 3-month-old son and crushing his skull afterward by stomping on the infant.
Mullis, 38, was put to death by lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville near Houston.
In his last statement, he thanked all those who had been “in my corner inside and outside, even on Death Row, that accepted me for the man I became during my best and worst moments.”
“I want to thank the field ministers, the Warden and the correctional staff for all the changes being made across the system, Even the men on Death Row, to show it is possible to be rehabilitated, and not deemed a threat and not the men we were when we came into the system, we have changed we are not the same,” he said…
