“I’m sorry for shooting your son down at that particular robbery. Politicians say that this brings closure. But my death doesn’t bring your son back—it doesn’t bring closure. I wish that I could do more, but I can’t. I hope this brings you peace.”
— Emerson Rudd, convicted of murder, lethal injection, Texas.
Executed November 15, 2001
When Rudd was eighteen years old, he and three others entered a seafood restaurant, intending to rob it. After the manager, Steve Morgan, handed over eight hundred dollars, Rudd shot him in the abdomen. He died the next day.
