Execution warrant reinstated in Texas.
Charles Dean Hood. Cried when he was informed he could live.
Hood was convicted of a double slaying almost 20 years ago in Texas. Hood won a reprieve just an hour before he could have been put to death.
"I just thank God," he said. "I just walk by my faith. If it didn't happen, I was going home to the Lord."
I wonder if he thanked God when he killed.
Apparently the Judge did not give a reason for lifting the death warrant. Seems once he lifted the death warrant he removed himself from the case.
The attorneys for Hood lost the last day appeals and out of the blue get a reprieve from a Judge who was accused by the defense of having an affair with the prosecutor that was assigned to the case. The now retired Judge and prosecutor declined to address the allegations.
Hood was convicted in 1989 for the slayings of Ronald Williams and Tracie Lynn Wallace. They were at the home of Williamson in the Dallas suburb of Plano.
Hood fled the scene in Williamson’s Cadillac and when he was arrested in Indiana he insisted he has permission to be driving Williamson’s Cadillac.
Hood still claims he is innocent in the case. Tuesday’s execution date was he 5th scheduled date to die and mysteriously won reprieve hours before he was scheduled to die.

Execution warrant reinstated in Texas.
Charles Dean Hood should have been crying again today.
As reported he had won a reprieve just over an hour before he was scheduled to die.
A State District Judge withdrew the execution warrant, but appeals court reinstated the warrant.
The appeals court said the judge did not have permission to spare Hood from lethal injection.
The warrant is scheduled to expire at midnight. The U.S. Supreme Court has denied three other appeals.
Likely meaning he will be put to death.
