Christopher Coleman, 37, was executed yesterday, September 22, at 6:22 pm. Coleman, a convicted hit man was put to death for a triple drug related slaying in Houston nearly 14 years ago. Lethal injection was the method used, and counted as Texas’ 18th this year, making us the nation’s most active death penalty state. (Criminals beware!) Christopher Coleman, 37, was condemned for his part in a scheme by a Colombian man who hoped to eliminate a drug debt by staging a robbery. Four people wound up shot in a car on a dead-end street. Three of them, including a 3-year-old boy, died. The whole story was a good novella made for TV, so keep a weather eye out for a TV spin off or a movie.
