HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP)
— A former flea market vendor
was executed Tuesday evening
for abducting, raping and stran
gling a 10-year-old Louisiana
girl from a Beaumont flea mar
ket where her parents also sold
items.
James Rexford Powell, 56,
had a brief final statement, say
ing only “I am ready for the
final blessing.”
Powell smiled, nodded and
grinned to friends and relatives
who watched through a window
a few feet away. He did not
acknowledge his victim’s father,
stepmother and other witnesses
for the slain girl.
When Powell asked for the
blessing, a priest among his wit
nesses made the sign of the
cross and led Powell's friends
and relatives, including his wife,
in a prayer.
Powell took several short
gasps as the drugs took effect.
Eight minutes later, at 6:17 p.m.
CDT, he was pronounced dead.
Powell was the 29th con
demned Texas inmate to receive
lethal injection this year and
fifth in the past three weeks. At
least six more are on the execu
tion schedule through the end of
the year.
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a
ruling about four hours before
Powell’s execution, refused to
block the punishment.
Falyssa Van Winkle was
with her mother and stepfather
when she disappeared 12 years
ago this week after telling them
she was going to buy some
peanuts.
