HUNTSVILLE, Texas - A death row inmate convicted of taking part in a fatal Houston store holdup was executed Thursday evening after the Texas governor rejected a parole board's recommendation to spare him because he wasn't the gunman.
Robert Lee Thompson, 34, was an accomplice to triggerman Sammy Butler who gunned down 29-year-old store clerk Mansoor Bhai Rahim Mohammed 13 years ago.
Butler received life in prison. A jury gave Thompson death.
His attorney should have just told the jury that he was fighting against the Islamic terrorists. In Texas, that's not a bad ruse.
