Texas Executes James Broadnax in Huntsville After Supreme Court Snubs Final Plea
James Broadnax, convicted in the brutal 2008 Garland studio slayings of two music producers, received lethal injection Thursday evening, hours after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected his appeal over a cousin's confession. The 37-year-old became Texas' third execution of 2026, marking the 599th death penalty case since 1982. Witnesses described his final moments as he addressed victims' families from the gurney.
