On Eve of Execution in Texas, Robert Pruett Maintains His Innocence
-------------------------------------------------------------------

And today, the state of Texas is planning to execute Robert Pruett. He
has been imprisoned since he was 15 years old. He was sentenced to death
for the murder of prison guard Daniel Nagle. He has always maintained
his innocence, saying he was framed by corrupt prison guards. There is
no physical evidence tying him to the murder.
