Dorsie Johnson-Bey, 30, was pronounced dead at 6:18 p.m. CDT, eight minutes after a lethal dose of drugs was released into his arms. He was followed in the death chamber by Davis Losa- da, 32, whom a doctor pronounced dead at 7:30 p.m. Losada’s death brought to 20 the number of execu tions in Texas already this year, equaling a single-year record set in 1935 when the electric chair was the state’s method of capital punishment. The third and fourth executions in Texas this week also marked the first double execution in the state since January 1995 and only the second multiple execution since capital punishment was resumed with lethal injections in 1982. Johnson-Bey spoke softly in a brief final statement, saying “I’d like to tell my family I love them and always be strong and keep their heads up and keep faith in Jesus." Johnson-Bey’s brother, Doug, watched through glass a few feet away and tapped on the window to get the in mate’s attention. The condemned man looked toward his brother and, as the drugs took effect, the brother ran to ward the back of the chamber and was allowed to leave. Losada expressed his innocence in a brief statement from the death chamber gurney. “If it matters to anybody, 1 didn’t kill Olga,” he said of his victim. Then he turned toward five relatives watching near by and referred to them by name, expressing love and thanks and urging them to “trust in God.” Before his witnesses arrived, Losada chatted with a chaplain and remarked, “This is nothing incredibly spe cial. God is with me. Everything’s cool.” He died six minutes after the lethal dose began flowing into arms covered with tatoos, including one of the Grim Reaper. Construction Continued from Page 1 Fischer also said the state has tried to make the work as little an inconvenience to drivers as possible. “Initially, we could have had a plan where the road stayed open, but reduced the number|(j 0 of lanes from four, two in each direction, to two, one in eachdi- '$ rection,” Fischer said. “But we realized how bad that would be at eight in the morning and five in the after noon, especially for people go ing to campus.” Funding for the $4.8 million W project, which is expected to be completed next summer, is be ing provided by both the state of Texas and College Station, f®| Hard said. “The city has worked with the state on tills, and we con- s . tributed a sizable amount of*n money ($700,000) to improve College Station,” Hard said. Once construction on the nearly one-mile-long stretch of Texas Avenue is completed, the state hopes to begin improve ments on the section of the^ road between Dominik Street] and FM 2818. ft SPORTSWEAR 50°/o OFF FAMOUS MAKER COORDINATES For misses, petites and women.
