(August 19, 2008)--Texas death row inmate Jeffery Wood lost two appeals Tuesday as he seeks to avoid execution on Thursday.

The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles rejected a clemency request for Wood, and Wood also lost an appeal in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.

Defense attorney Scott Sullivan sought permission to hire mental health experts to pursue arguments that Wood is incompetent to be executed.

Sullivan will now turn to the federal courts.

Wood was sentenced to die for the 1996 slaying of a clerk at a convenience store in Kerrville.

The victim was Kriss Keeran.

Wood's lawyers say he was waiting in a car outside the store when Daniel Reneau shot clerk Kriss Keeran to death.

Wood was convicted under the Texas law of parties, which makes accomplices as liable as the actual killer in capital murder cases.

Reneau has already been executed.

When is there going to be a judge who will get tired of all of this crap and continue on with the go juice.
