HUNTSVILLE, Texas --Texas has executed a man convicted of
killing his ex-girlfriend nearly a decade ago.
Before
his execution Thursday evening, Robert Jean Hudson repeatedly expressed love to
his Belgian wife, Chantal Rae Hudson, and a friend who watched through a window
and ignored four relatives of his victim as they watched through another window
into the death chamber.
"I
will take you to heaven with me," Hudson
said from the death chamber gurney. "I will always be with you."
Hudson, 45, was the 18th inmate put to death this year in Texas, which carries out more executions than any other US state. Hudson's execution was the last scheduled in Texas for this year. At
least 10 Texas
inmates are scheduled to die next year, including six in January.
Hudson stabbed Edith Kendrick, 35, to death and seriously wounded
her 8-year-old son in the 1999 attack at her house near Dallas.
Defense
attorneys didn't question the three-time parolee was responsible for the
slaying but faulted his trial lawyers for not presenting to a jury mitigating
evidence "that this was a crime of passion, and significantly reduced Mr.
Hudson's moral culpability," Maurie Levin, Hudson's lawyer, wrote in her
petition seeking a Supreme Court reprieve and review.
