A 37-year-old Texas man will be executed today as his last-minute appeals for clemency were denied this week, nearly 20 years after the murders of two men outside of a recording studio in the city of Garland.
The U.S. Supreme Court denied James Broadnax's petition for a stay of execution on Monday. A day later, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles unanimously voted against a similar reprieve. He will become the third and likely final person to be executed in Texas in 2026.
