Texas Carries Out Execution after Failed Appeal 
------------------------------------------------


 
Texas has executed a convicted double-murderer by lethal injection, the

shortly after the Supreme Court rejected his last-minute appeals.
Attorneys had argued Texas was using expired drugs to end Trottie's life
and that he had received inadequate counsel at his original trial.
