+ William Speer is slated to be put to death for the July 1997 strangling of a fellow inmate but the victim's sister and religious leaders want Speer's life to be spared.
A Texas inmate faces execution Thursday for killing another prisoner more than 26 years ago, but the victim's sister and religious leaders have asked authorities to spare his life. William Speer, 49, is set to receive a lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville. He was condemned for strangling Gary Dickerson to death in July 1997 at the Telford state prison, located near New Boston in northeast Texas. 'I am so aware of the things that I've done.
When Dickerson was killed, Speer was serving a life sentence for fatally shooting a friend's father, Jerry Collins, at the man's Houston area home. Speer was 16 then. The paroles board on Tuesday voted 7-0 against commuting Speer's death sentence to a lesser penalty. Members also rejected granting a six-month reprieve. Speer killed Dickerson in a bid to join the Texas Mafia prison gang, prosecutors said.
