- Texas on Wednesday put to death a man found guilty of the rape and murder of a 19-year-old college student in an execution that followed arguments from the inmate’s attorneys that authorities ignored key evidence that would exonerate him.

Swearingen’s last words were: “Lord forgive them. They don’t know what they are doing,” according to Desel. Swearingen had faced five previous execution dates over the past two decades. At his trial and in a series of appeals that wound through Texas and federal courts, his lawyers pointed to DNA evidence under the victim’s fingernails that came from a man other than Swearingen.

On the day Trotter went missing, prosecutors said, a witness saw her with a man leaving the Lone Star College–Montgomery library, in The Woodlands, Texas, where she attended school. The Woodlands is about 30 miles north of Houston.
