Man facing execution attempts suiciil
HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) —
Condemned killer David Lee Her
man tried to beat the Texas execu
tioner by attempting suicide early
Tuesday, a day and a half before he
was to be put to death by injection.
Herman, facing capital punish
ment Wednesday evening for a
robbery-murder at an Arlington
topless club he once managed,
tried to kill himself by slashing his
neck and wrist with a prison-is
sued plastic razor.
A corrections officer spotted
the injuries about 4:30 a.m. and
summoned help.
Herman’s appeals have been
exhausted and state officials had
predicted his execution would be
carried out. The suicide attempt
will not change that, Texas De
partment of Criminal Justice
spokesman Larry Fitzgerald said.
“The execution will go on as
scheduled,” he said.
After receiving treatment at
the Ellis Unit prison infirmary,
Herman was taken to Huntsville
Memorial Hospital about 15
miles away for stitches to close
