Texas inmate set to be executed for killing 2 women in 2003.
A Texas death row inmate is set to be executed Wednesday for fatally stabbing an 89-year-old woman and her daughter more than 16 years ago in their Fort Worth home.
"The jury heard nothing from the defense that provided an explanation about the disease of alcoholism in relation to the offense conduct," including"a history of domestic violence and abuse, and repeated losses of significant friends and relatives," Lydia Brandt, Crutsinger's current attorney, wrote in her one of her Supreme Court petitions.
Lower appeals courts and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles have declined to stop the execution. If it happens, Crutsinger would be the 14th inmate put to death this year in the U.S. and the fifth in Texas. In the months before the slayings, Crutsinger became homeless and increasingly desperate after his wife kicked him out and his mother, who had enabled his behavior, stopped helping him, according to the report.
In an email, Brandt described Crutsinger's previous appellate lawyer, Richard Alley, as a"great word processor" who cut and pasted"worthless" legal arguments from other cases and who was removed from another death row inmate's case and had been suspended from practicing in federal court.
