A Texas man convicted of killing an elderly woman decades ago was put to death Tuesday, an execution that took place hours after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned an order that delayed the sentence. Jedidiah Murphy, 48, was pronounced dead at 10:15 p.m., after a lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville for the October 2000 fatal shooting of 80-year-old Bertie Lee Cunningham of the Dallas suburb of Garland. She was killed during a carjacking.
