Dominique Green, a death row inmate, was executed by lethal injection in Huntsville, Texas, 26/10/2004. Green was 18 when he robbed Andrew Lastrapes Jr outside a Houston convenience store, but he maintained until he died that he did not shoot him. Two of three accomplices were convicted of aggravated robbery and received prison terms. The third was not tried for the crime. Green was granted a reprieve hours before the scheduled execution which was then overturned. The execution went forward despite an 11th-hour appeal to the US Supreme Court. In the weeks before the execution, the family of the man Green was convicted of murdering joined in the struggle to have Green’s sentence commuted.
