Texas Executes a Man in Killing of 3 During a Home Robbery, the State’s Fifth This Year
Norman’s lawyers asked the Supreme Court to halt the execution, arguing prosecutors misrepresented evidence and Texas has used pentobarbital in past lethal injections.
- On Wednesday, the state of Texas is set to execute LeJames Norman at the state penitentiary in Huntsville for the 2005 triple murder of three people in Edna.
- In 2005, Norman and co-defendant Ker'Sean Olajuwa Ramey broke into a neighbor's home in Edna, a city about 100 miles southwest of Houston, intending to steal cocaine according to court records.
- Norman filed a petition to the Supreme Court on Monday arguing that prosecutors misrepresented facts during his trial compared to Ramey's proceedings to make him appear more culpable for the killings.
- Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton successfully requested that The CCA block a district judge from pausing the executions over concerns regarding the state's drug supply.
- If carried out, this would mark five executions in Texas in 2026, continuing the state's lethal injection pace through the remainder of the year.
