Tonight, September 28, Texas is scheduled to carry out its third execution of the year. Rick Rhoades, who was convicted of killing two men 30 years ago, is scheduled to die of lethal injection.
Rhoades, who is now 57 years old, was convicted of killing Charles and Bradley Allen in September 1991.
Rhoades confessed to the murders several weeks later when he was arrested for allegedly burglarizing a school.
Attorneys for Rhoades said Monday that they would file a last-resort appeal to try to stop the execution.
