The US Supreme Court will not step in to stop tonight's execution of Arthur Brown. He was convicted in the 1992 execution-style killings of four men. They were tied up in his Houston home and shot in the back of the head.
TEXAS PLANS TO EXECUTE:
#ArthurBrown, charged in the murders of four people. His attorneys say Houston prosecutors hid evidence pointing to another suspect. They argue Brown is intellectually disabled and that his trial was tainted by racism. #Execution#DeathPenalty#SCOTUS
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has dismissed Arthur Brown’s habeas petition without addressing his claims of innocence, prosecutorial misconduct, intellectual disability, and racial bias and denied his motion for a stay of execution. @TexDefender @TCADPdotORG
