(October 6, 2008)--A dozen Texas death row inmates lost appeals Monday before the U.S. Supreme Court, moving them closer to execution.
Among the inmates was Alvin Kelly, an East Texas man scheduled for execution next week for the 1984 death of a 22-month-old boy in a shooting near Longview that also left the boy's parents dead.
Kelly, 57, faces lethal injection Oct. 14, and is the first of six convicted killers scheduled to die this month in the nation's most active death penalty state.
Also losing Monday was Chelsea Richardson, a 24-year-old who is among 10 women on death row in Gatesville.
She was convicted in the December 2003 slayings of her boyfriend's parents, Rick and Suzanna Wamsley, at their home in Mansfield, near Fort Worth.
Three inmates whose scheduled executions were stopped at the last moment with court-ordered reprieves lost their appeals; Curtis Moore, convicted of killing three people in Fort Worth; Jose Rivera, condemned for the strangling of a 3-year-old boy in Brownsville; and Kenneth Morris, convicted of killing a Houston man during a home burglary.
Moore was the only inmate besides Kelly with an execution date.
He’s scheduled to die in January.
