HUNTSVILLE(AP) — Charles
Rector, claiming his innocence to
the end, was executed Thursday
night for the abduction, rape,
shooting and drowning of an
Austin woman more than 17 years
ago.
Rector was pronounced dead at
6:22 p.m., eight minutes after the
lethal drugs began flowing into his
body.
“I want you to know I’m not
guilty,” Rector said in a final state
ment while strapped to the death
chamber gurney.
He turned his head and looked
at five members of Carolyn Kay
Davis’ family.
“And I’ll say this to the family —
I did not kill your daughter. Take it
the way you want. I’m sorry for the
pain,” he said.
Rector expressed love to mem
bers of his family, who' also
watched through another window.
He concluded his statement by
reciting the words to a song he
wrote, called “God Living With Us
24 Hours.”
One of his witnesses, a sister,
fainted and had to be assisted out
of the viewing area after Rector had
slipped into unconsciousness.
Among Rector’s witnesses was

statement released after the execu

can change that or bring her back.
“We do feel that justice has been
