Tommy Sells
HUNTSVILLE, Texas -- Tommy Sells is one of two death-row prisoners who prevailed recently in a lawsuit demanding that Texas prison officials disclose the source of the drugs used in lethal injections.
But the court decision has not stopped the wheels of death from turning. Sells is slated for execution Thursday.

TEXAS PLANS TO EXECUTE:
TOMMY SELLS, condemned
in the New Year’s Eve 1999 slaying of a teenage girl in Del Rio in
1999. When Del Rio police questioned Sells about the killing, he took
responsibility for it and dozens of slayings around the country. His
appellate lawyers said detectives pressured him into making far-fetched
assertions about being a serial killer. His attorneys also said counsel
failed to represent Sells effectively, both at trial and early in the
appeals process.

Take it like a man Tommy, you gotten more chances than you gave your victims. Should have been fried after your trial. I suspect these bleeding hearts would think different had it been their kids you raped and murdered... May God bless your soul, BITCH.
