Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 21, 2015 The Texas seven has just become the Texas Six http://deathpenaltynews.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/texas-executes-donald-newbury.html Correction: you meant the Texas 7 has become the Texas 4. "Newbury, 52, becomes the ..... third of the notorious “Texas 7” gang to be executed for the slaying of 29-year-old Irving officer Aubrey Hawkins." SC Not quite SC, one topped himself afore capture, 3 state murders, and you have the Texas 3. Garcia , Halprin and Murphy. That's a fair cop. Regardless it's not the Texas Six, though the pun intended was understood. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
