The oldest Texas death row inmate is to be executed in April for killing a Houston police officer more than 30 years ago, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Buntion was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death in 1991, but the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals vacated his death sentence in 2009. A jury in 2012 returned him to death row following a new sentencing trial.
In October, the U.S. Supreme Court denied an appeal by Buntion's lawyers. But in a statement, Justice Stephen Breyer said that Buntion's"lengthy confinement, and the confinement of others like him, calls into question the constitutionality of the death penalty."
