February 25, 2003 -  Texas killer executed for contract slaying:   Excerpts from UPI News
Richard Williams, 33, was pronounced dead at 6:19 p.m.  In his final statement, Williams apologized to the victim's family.  "We came a long way through the tragedy -- from hate to love and I would like to apologize for the pain I have caused all my families on both sides," he said... Williams execution came a few hours after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected his request for a stay of execution so he could argue that he was mentally retarded. In an historic decision last June the high court outlawed the execution of mentally retarded... The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals rejected a similar request from Williams late Monday... Williams was the ninth convicted killer executed in Texas this year and the 298th since the state restored the death penalty in 1982.
