Draggingtree Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Texas man scheduled for Thursday execution in killing of woman, 93, wins court-ordered delay Associated Press July 16, 2015 | 2:01 p.m. EDTBy MICHAEL GRACZYK, Associated Press HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A Texas death row inmate won an indefinite reprieve Thursday, hours before he was set to die for the slaying of a 93-year-old woman at her home during a robbery a decade ago. Prosecutors in Tyler, in Smith County, had opposed Williams' appeal for a reprieve, telling the appeals court the state police agency insisted that corrected figures would have no impact. Williams is black, and prosecutors said the probability of another black person with the same DNA profile found in Schneider's missing car was one in 40 sextillion. Jurors in 2006 were told the probability was one in 43 sextillion. A sextillion is defined as a 1 followed by 21 zeros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
