HUNTSVILLE (AP) — Hanrv
Earvin, who faces execution next
week for an east T exas slaving 13
years ago. said Wednesday he wrote
Gov. Bui Clements hoping to obtain
a commutation
Earvin, however, who also has
written to his trial judge for a re
prieve. said he is not optimistic the
governor or any other elected offi
cial will agree to his request
“It’s rather remote.” he said
Wednesday in an interview “No one
has been given a reprieve so far
You've got so many people in Texas
who are in favor of capital punish
ment.
“You know how politicians are.
They're not too anxious to make
those moves that would jeopardize
themselves "
Clements has the authority to
commute Earvin's sentence to life in
prison, but has declined to do so in
similar capnai cases.
Earvin, 31, a Houston native who
had lived and worked in Lufkin
about a year, was convicted of the
Dei . 7. 1976 robbery and slaving of
Ertis Brock, a 76-year-old service
station attendant
Earvin is scheduled to receive le
thal injection after midnight Julv 26
He would betome the 32nd inmate

to hr executed since the state re
turned capital punishment in 1982
and the third this year.
Attorney General Jim Mattox has
listed Earvin's as the most likeh of
several executions now scheduled.
Earvin was 18 and had just lost his
job at a Lufkin factory when authori
ties say he and a 15-vear-old girlf
riend held up Brock, who was carry
ing cash bags from the station to his
car.
Brock was shot in the chest with a
shot gun as he reached into his back
pocket. Earvin, who said he thought
the man was going for a gun, (led
with none of the estimated $300
Brock was carry ing
“I can't tell you how regretful I’ve
been." he said.
“I have mixed emotions about it.”
he said of his possible death “It
ihanges from moment to moment.
I'm not trying to justify anything. I
guess everybody would like to be re

of his trial as remorseless and coc ky

Satan

symbols on book covers and in pub
lic places
Nome mav also involve the mutila
tion of animals, robbing graves,
chanting and burning cancfles.
“We often find these people tend
to beat up on their families — par
ents. grandparents and siblings.”
Sloat said. “Mans of these kids have
all types of behavioral problems any
time they get into a social situation "
The six areas of concern in hea\ i
metal music are: aggressive behav
ior. explicit sex. fascination with the
occult, inappropriate language, fas
cination witn death and suicide and
references to drug and alcohol use
and abuse
“In every case related to occult
crimes, homicide and suicide, heavy
metal music has been present 100
percent of the time and 1 have nevci
seen an exception to that rule.” Sloai
said.
The five movements are sects,
cults, witchcraft, paganism and sata-
nism. he said.
First, sects, can be organizations
such as Catholic. Jewish and Mor
mon. This movement includes anv
groups who think alike, and gener
ally c io not participate in criminal ac
tivity.
Cults, systems of religious or “ma-
gikal” (this spelling represents the
occult movement) beliefs. Included
in this category are destructive reli-
J jous cults, such as The Wav. Jim
ones and God's Children.
The witchcraft movement, which
has mostly female followers, is based
on a belief in a god or goddess. T he
participants do not prac tice satamsm
nor is murder a ritual, contrary to
many television portrayals.
Paganism, is the practice of
worshiping Greek and Egyptian
mythological gods, and followers oi
satamsm are nevoted to the works of
the devil.
“When we talk about the occult
movement, we're talking about
groups that practice witchcraft, pa
ganism and satanism blended toge
ther," he said.
Sloat discussed four types of oc
cult groups —dabblers, self-stvled,
unorthodox and religious.
The dabbler group consists of ex
perimenters. with ages ranging from
eight to 75. Sloat said.
“These people start reading books
on the occult and listen to others talk
about the occult.” he said. “Many
high school and college students are
involved in this particular
movement.”
These groups have little organiza
tion, are loose in structure and don't
have definite types of ceremonies or
rituals.
Sloat said alcohol and marijuana,
also hallucinogens, tend to be the
drugs of choice among dabblers
Participants wear symbolic jew
elry. burn candles and chant. Mahv
sacrifice small animals such^ils cats
and chickens, he said
Many dabblers are involved in
fantasy role-playing games, such as
Dungeons and Dragons.
When dabblers' needs aren't satis
fied after participating in all these
activities, they graduate into the self-
stvled category. Sloat said.
Self-styled worshiping consists of
rituals and ceremonies individuals
or groups have designed to suit their
needs.
Unorthodox groups are the most
unpredictable and dangerous ot all,
he said.Many of these fmiups can
also be self-stvled. depending on the
leader.
"They are well-organized and
clandestine, making them difficult to
identify bv law enforcement," Skiat
said.
Members are usually profession
als such as ministers, doctors or po
licemen. he said.
“Thev use ‘breeders' to)pvr birth
to children for sacrificial purposes,"
Sloat said. “Breeders are usually
women who will have a child on the
alter, either for sacrificial purposes
or to be indoctrinated into the
jroMp-
most holy sacrifice to Satan
is a newborn baby . This is because
the baby has no sin and is pure in na
ture. What they dd is cut the babv
up, cannibalize it. drink the blood,
eat the heart or other internal or
gans while it is still warm in order to
get the greatest amount of power
They then burn the sacrifice and use
the ashes in vanous other ceremo
nies or rituals.”
Sloan said some of the occultists
collect knuckles, joints and fingers
from the right hand to wear around ’
their necks at ceremonies.
Various crimes committed bv
these groups include kidnapping,
sexual abuse, pornography, drug
trafficking, child prostitution, bes
tiality and"snuff films.”
“A snuff film is where they bring
somebody on camera, usually a
voung person, involved in some type
of explicit sexual activity,” he said.
“A murder then lakes place. The
bloodier the murder, the more
money the snuff film will bring. The
film is then sold on the black market
for as much as $500,000.“
Sloat said the main reason people
are involved in these unonnooox
movements is for power, the ability
to manipulate people, self-gratifica
tion. money, sex and drugs.
Charles Manson was involved in
the unorthodox movement and
committed as many as 200 murders
in California.
“Charlie was probably a member
of every satank church in southern
California.” Sloat said. "Many of the
churches say he was there to just
learn what he could so he could start
his own self-stvled movement, which
he called Helter Skelter.”
