- Crime and Conviction:
Matthew Lee Johnson, 49, was executed by lethal injection in Huntsville, Texas, on Tuesday evening for the 2012 murder of Nancy Harris, a 76-year-old store clerk and great-grandmother. During a robbery at a convenience store in Garland, Johnson doused Harris with lighter fluid and set her on fire. Despite sustaining severe burns, Harris survived for several days and managed to describe her attacker before dying. Legal Process:
Johnson confessed to the crime during his 2013 trial, expressing deep remorse and attributing his actions to the influence of crack cocaine. His legal team presented mitigating factors, including a long history of substance abuse and sexual abuse suffered during childhood. Subsequent appeals centered on procedural concerns, including the constitutionality of the “future danger” determination required for a death sentence in Texas. The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles ultimately denied clemency, and Johnson’s legal team chose not to pursue further appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court.
