Rumbaugh, 18, executed because of teenage crime
Associated Press
HUNTSVILLE — Charles Rum
baugh was put to death by poison in
jection early today for murdering a
jeweler when he was 17 years old,
the first execution in more than two
decades for a crime committed by
someone under the age of 18.
Rumbaugh, 28, was pronounced
dead at 12:27 a.m. CDT, said Jim
Mattox, the state attorney general.
Hours before his death, Rum
baugh was “cutting jokes and laugh
ing” as he visited with friends and
relatives in a cell a few feet from the
death chamber, said corrections de
partment spokeswoman Sarah Gri
sham.
“I believe in reincarnation. Whatever I did in my pre
vious life must have been pretty bad to deserve this.
Maybe when I come back next time, I’ll have learned
something. ”
— Convicted killer Charles Rumbaugh
Amnesty International, which op
poses capital punishment, had pro
tested Rumbaugh’s execution, say
ing it violated international
agreements — never ratified by the
U.S. Senate — that bar execution of
people convicted of crimes com
mitted when they were under 18.
“What that has to do with the
death penalty, I don’t know,” Rum
baugh said a week ago in his last in
terview with reporters. “It’s not
going to have any effect.
“I believe in reincarnation,” he
said. “Whatever I did in my previous
life must have been pretty bad to de
serve this. Maybe when I cornel
next time, I’ll have learned son
thing.”
Nine other prisoners in Texast
awaiting execution for juveni
crimes.
Texas had the last such executij
on May 7, 1964, when James At
drew Echols was executed for
committed when he was 17.
Rumbaugh, who was convicted]
robbing and killing Amarillo jewel
Michael Fiorillo in 1975, had tut
tried to kill himself and had
cally attacked law officers in com
had ordered attorneys not to seel
third stay of execution.
