Texas governor spares inmate from execution after a father’s pleas

Thomas “Bart” Whitaker had already eaten his last meal.
It was about 5:30 p.m. Thursday, roughly a half-hour before his scheduled execution in a Texas prison. He was supposed to be strapped to a gurney soon.

Whitaker had been sentenced to death for orchestrating the ambush-style murders of his family in 2003 as they returned to their suburban Houston home. An accomplice fatally shot Whitaker’s 51-year-old mother, Patricia, and his 19-year-old brother, Kevin.
