Former Harris County deputy executed for woman's slaying
Michael Griffith, 56, was executed by lethal injection in Huntsville after being convicted of the 1994 murder and robbery of Deborah McCormick at her Houston flower shop. He spoke a brief final statement, nine minutes after the sentence was carried out, as McCormick’s family reflected on the loss. The case marked Texas as the nation's most active death penalty state, with four other inmates set for execution in coming weeks.
