I just feel I need to get over with it' By AP PUBLISHED: 00:38 EST, 12 August 2015 | UPDATED: 00:55 EST, 12 August 2015 Texas inmate Daniel Lee Lopez has been trying to speed up his execution since being sent to death row five years ago for striking and killing a police lieutenant with an SUV during a chase. On Wednesday, he's hoping to get his wish. The 27-year-old prisoner is set to die in Huntsville after getting court approval to drop his appeals. A second inmate scheduled to be executed this week in Texas, the nation's most active death penalty state, won a court reprieve Tuesday. Lopez is facing lethal injection for the 2009 death of Corpus Christi Lt. Stuart Alexander. The 47-year-old officer was standing in a grassy area on the side of a highway where he had put spike strips when he was struck by the sport utility vehicle Lopez was fleeing in. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3194688/Texas-cop-killer-asked-courts-speed-execution-scheduled-die-today.html#ixzz3ibxowXLx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
