The murderer spent his final moments talking to his wife Helena Noah Dubois – fully on her as she hugged the white service dog in the window that separates Nelson from witness to his execution It encouraged me to live a life.
“That's what it is,” he told his wife.
Nelson then faced forever and offered his final phrase.
“I'm not scared. I'm in peace, I said just before the murderer was fatally injected.
When a fatal dose of pentobarbital passed through his system, Nelson was seen putting the word “love” in his mouth twice before temporarily convulsing.
He was declared dead 24 minutes later, according to the Associated Press.
While imprisoned and awaiting trial, Nelson was charged with the murder of another inmate.
This is the second run to be implemented in the US in 2025.
The first was last Friday in South Carolina, when Marion Bowman Jr. received a fatal injection for the 2001 murder.
The AP reports that Texas is scheduled for three more runs by the end of April.
