AUSTIN, Tex. (Reuters) - Texas on Wednesday executed a San Antonio man convicted of kidnapping a single mother from a bus stop, then robbing, raping and murdering her.
Ramon Torres Hernandez, 41, was convicted in the 2001 death of 37-year-old Rosa Maria Rosado.
Hernandez was pronounced dead by lethal injection at 6:38 p.m. local time at the state penitentiary in Huntsville, Texas, according to the state department of corrections. He was the 39th execution in the United States this year and the 14th in Texas.
"I'm sorry for putting you through all of this. Tell everyone I love them," Hernandez said, as part of a brief final statement, according to Jason Clark, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
"To everybody back on the row, I know you're going through a lot over there. Keep fighting, don't give up, everybody," he quoted Hernandez as saying.

This is why the Southern red states need to become Texas Country and Texas law.
