Second man convicted of triple murder in rural Texas town set for execution Wednesday - KSAT

Ramey, 41, was the second man put to death for the killings, following his codefendant's execution the week before. He was only 21 when a jury convicted him in 2007 and sent him to death row. According to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, his final statement focused on faith and family rather than the crime itself.

Ramey told those present he found direction through relationships built with other men on death row, saying he grew up behind bars with their support. He spoke about not coming from what he called a healthy culture growing up, and thanked fellow inmates by referencing shared experience rather than naming names. He did not go into detail about the robbery or the three lives lost in 2005.

For Texans who follow death penalty cases, this closes out a case that took nearly two decades to reach its conclusion, with both men convicted in the killings now executed within a week of each other. The case adds to Texas' record as the state with the most executions carried out nationwide.
