Wicker execution
stays on schedule
Associated Press
AUSTIN — The Texas Court of
Criminal Appeals, on a 7-2 vote, has
let stand Monday’s scheduled execu
tion of a man convicted of burying a
Beaumont woman alive on a beach.
the indictment, arrest and admission
of his confession as evidence.
Chester Lee Wicker, 36, was sen
tenced to die for the April 4, 1980,
slaying of Suzanne Knuth, 23, a stu
dent at Lamar University.
The indictment charged Wicker
with killing Knuth by cnoking her
with his hands and burying her alive.
In interview with a psychiatrist,
Wicker said he had been involved
with drugs for several years and that
he began collecting pornography at
age 13.
Wicker told police he pulled
Knuth into his car on a Beaumont
street iind took her 10 Bolivar Penin
sula, where he attempted to sexually
assault her. The body was found two
weeks later after Wicker surren
dered to police.
“The patient stated that he looked
at these magazines almost every day
and that this occupied a great deal of
his time and that lie tended to spend
a lot of time daydreaming and fanta
sizing about sexual activity,” psychia
trist fklward Gripon reported to the
The Court of Criminal Appeals
turned down Wicker’s request to
postpone the execution, the court
clerk’s office said Tuesday.
The American Civil Liberties
Union, now representing Wicker, is
expected to take the case to federal
District Court. Attorney David
Garner of League City, who rep
resented Wicker until December,
said he believes Wicker has a 50-
SOchance of getting a federal judge
to postpone the execution.
Wicker told police Knuth tried to
jump out of his car. They struggled
and the victim wound up on the
ground. Wicker said he could not
determine if she was dead. He said
he tried artificial respiration by
breathing in her mouth. “In my own
mind I was sure she was dead (and I
would take a polygraph) but I
wanted to be positive before I buried
her,” Wicker said in his confession.
“I think on this first time around
there’s a chance there will be a writ
granted,” he said.
Wicker’s appeals have challenged

If executed, Wicker would be the
sixth Texas inmate put to death by
lethal injection since 1982.
