HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) ? A Texas inmate looked to the U.S. Supreme Court to spare him a trip to the death chamber for an East Texas man's slaying 10 years ago during a convenience store robbery.
Beunka Adams faces lethal injection Thursday evening in Huntsville. The 29-year-old Adams is one of two men sent to death row for the 2002 fatal shooting of Kenneth Vandever. The 37-year-old Vandever and two women clerks at the store robbed in Rusk in 2002 were abducted and shot. Both women survived, although one of them also was raped.
Adams earlier this week won a reprieve from a federal judge, but state attorneys Wednesday won an appeal overturning the order.
Adams' lawyers are asking for a Supreme Court review of the case.
