A Texas man, Travis Mullis, was executed by lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville for the murder of his 3-month-old son over 16 years ago. Mullis, 38, waived his right to appeal his death sentence and was pronounced dead at 7:01 p.m. CDT on Tuesday evening.
Mullis expressed gratitude towards those who accepted him during his best and worst moments and acknowledged the changes in the prison system that allowed for rehabilitation. He admitted to taking the life of his son and expressed regret for his actions, apologizing to the child's mother and her family.
