Texas carries out most executions as national trend eases
In Huntsville Texas bucked the national slowdown with 24 executions in 2006, 55 percent of US total. Carlos Granados faces death for the 1998 stabbing of Anthony O'Brien Jimenez, as Texas plots five lethal injections in January. Other inmates include Johnathan Moore and Ronald Chambers, with a fifth scheduled, while advocates note life without parole rising as jurors gain options.
