Texas Executes Death Row Prisoner amid Concerns over Injection Drugs 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Meanwhile, Texas has executed death row prisoner Licho Escamilla, who
was convicted of killing a Dallas police officer in 2001. He was the
12th person executed by the state of Texas this year. This comes amid
reports Texas may be using a lethal injection drug that is expired and
could prolong suffering.
