Texas sets record pace for prison executions
In 1997 Texas carried out 37 executions, half the national total, the most in a single year since 1930. The surge followed changes to hasten appeals after a late 1995 halt, with 29 inmates arriving on new death sentences that year. More executions are expected in 1998, possibly including a woman.
