Texas Executes Timothy Adams

Timothy Adams was executed in the state of Texas Tuesday night for the 2002 fatal shooting of his 19-month-old son.

The execution took place moments after the Supreme Court rejected a final appeal from his attorneys.

Members of Adams' family and 3 of the 12 jurors who sentenced him to death were appealing for his sentence to be commuted.

Adams' execution is the second carried out in Texas so far this year, and the 8th so far in the US in 2011.
