Texas cop killer who asked courts to speed up his execution is scheduled to die today

Daniel Lee Lopez, 27, is set to die in Huntsville on Tuesday after getting court approval to drop his appeals

 

Last week from death row Lopez said: 'It's a waste of time just sitting here. I just feel I need to get over with it'

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.
