Garcia Glenn White was executed by lethal injection in Texas on Tuesday for the murder of 16-year-old identical twin sisters 35 years ago. The execution makes him the sixth death row inmate killed in the U.S. in the past 11 days, an unusually large cluster.
White, who became the fifth man executed in Texas this year, confessed to murdering five people in a six-year period but prosecutors only pursued charges for the teenage girls. He was pronounced dead at 6:56 p.m.
"I apologize, and I pray that you can find peace, comfort and closure in your heart for the wrong I have done and the pain I have caused you, and anybody else I’ve caused pain to," White said as he was strapped to the execution table, apologizing to some of his victims' family members. "I’m sorry for all the pain I have caused."
