Texas man scheduled to be executed for killing ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend
AI Summary
Charles Victor Thompson, a Texas man, is scheduled to be executed on Wednesday for the 1998 murders of his ex-girlfriend, Glenda Dennise Hayslip, and her new boyfriend, Darren Keith Cain, in Tomball, a Houston suburb. Thompson was convicted of fatally shooting both victims after a history of possessive and abusive behavior towards Hayslip. His attorneys are seeking a stay of execution from the Supreme Court, arguing that Thompson was unable to challenge evidence regarding the cause of Hayslip's death, claiming medical negligence contributed. Prosecutors maintain that Thompson is responsible for Hayslip's death and that a jury has already rejected this claim. Thompson's death sentence was previously overturned, and he had a new punishment trial.
