Execution Report: Edward Lagrone

Continued from Page 1

A jury convicted Lagrone of capital murder in May 1993 and sentenced him to death. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the conviction and sentence in February 1997. All of his subsequent appeals in state and federal court were denied.

"Like I've said from day one, I didn't kill them," Lagrone said in his last statement. "But I'm no better than the people that did." He concluded by saying, "Jesus is Lord. That's all I have to say." He was pronounced dead at 6:18 p.m.

The execution was witnessed by several of Shakeisha's relatives, but Pamela Lloyd could not attend because she was incarcerated. Pamela Rochelle Lloyd has also had a lengthy criminal history. She was convicted of petty larceny in 1981 and of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon in 1987. She served seven months of a five-year sentence before being paroled. In November 1991, she was charged with the murder of her husband, Gene Tutt, 36. While out on bond, she was arrested for driving while intoxicated. She was later convicted of murder and sentenced to five years in prison. She is scheduled to be discharged on 16 July 2004.
