Death Row Inmate Who Murdered his Mom and Brother Spared Just Minutes Before Execution
With just 30 minutes until he was due to die via lethal injection, Thomas “Bart” Whitaker’s life was spared on Thursday.
The Texas man was to be executed for trying to kill his entire family. The 38-year-old tragically succeeded in murdering his younger brother and mother and severely wounded his father, Kent Whitaker, in the brutal 2003 attack.
In 2007, Bart was convicted of the murders and sentenced to death.
