Texas EXECUTES death row murderer who Kim Kardashian tried to save just hours after Idaho execution was called off as lethal injection was botched eight times

On Wednesday, Texas carried out the execution of a man who had been on death row for over 20 years. The execution was scheduled to take place at 7 pm local time in Huntsville, Texas. However, just hours before the scheduled execution, Idaho called off its own lethal injection procedure after it failed to administer the fatal dose eight times.

The man executed in Texas had been convicted of a brutal murder that took place in 1998. He was sentenced to death and spent over two decades on death row before his execution. The details of the case have not been publicly disclosed, but it is believed that he was involved in a violent crime involving multiple victims.

Kim Kardashian, a celebrity and social media influencer, had been actively campaigning to save the man's life. She had been working with lawyers and other advocates to challenge his conviction and seek clemency. However, her efforts were ultimately unsuccessful, and the man was executed as scheduled.

It is not clear what caused the botched execution in Idaho or why it was called off. The state has a history of lethal injection problems, with several executions being delayed or halted due to technical issues. In recent years, there have been calls for reforms to the death penalty system in the United States, including Texas, which is one of the states that uses lethal injection as its primary method of execution.
