Death row inmate Mauro Barraza wins reprieve in Texas
In Huntsville, Mauro Barraza, condemned for the 1989 murder of Vilorie Nelson, received a four hour reprieve from execution as the U S Supreme Court considers whether executing killers who were under 18 at the time of their crimes is constitutional. Barraza, 32, formerly held on death row at Polansky Unit, was moved to Huntsville for lethal injection, and returned to death row after the stay. He grew up in San Antonio and Fort Worth and had requested a large last meal before death.
