HUNTSVILLE (April 25, 2012)—Death row inmate Beunka Adams, 29, is still scheduled to receive a lethal injection Thursday evening in Huntsville for killing an East Texas man after robbing a convenience store, after the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals lifted the reprieve that a federal judge in Texarkana gave him on Monday.
Adams, who still has appeals pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, is scheduled to die just after 6 p.m. Thursday in Huntsville for the September 2002 slaying of Kenneth Vandever, 37, outside of Rusk.
Vandever and two women who worked at the store were abducted during the robbery.
One of the women was raped, and then all three were shot.
The women survived, but Vandever died.
On Monday, Adams’ lawyers convinced U.S. District Judge Michael Schneider in Texarkana that the execution should be delayed until the courts review allegations that Adams had poor legal help in the early stages of his appeals.
But the 5th Circuit agreed Wednesday with arguments from the Texas Attorney General's office that the reprieve was improper.

I Wonder if this is the work of Eric Holder? Ted Nugent is right,,If Obama wins re-election he will end up like Lincoln when he won re-election.
