TEXAS----new execution date
Convicted killer in 1996 Kerrville slaying set to die
A convicted killer on death row for a January 1996 fatal robbery in the Texas
Hill Country is set to die later this summer.
Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Jason Clark said Monday the
agency has received court documents setting 42-year-old Jeffrey Wood for lethal
injection Aug. 24.
Wood's 2008 execution was stopped by a federal judge for testing to determine
if Wood was mentally competent for capital punishment. Testing showed he was
competent and other courts now have upheld those findings.
Wood was convicted under the Texas law of parties, which makes the participant
in a capital murder equally culpable of the crime. Evidence showed his
roommate, Daniel Reneau, fatally shot 31-year-old Kerrville store clerk Kriss
Keeran. Both men then robbed the store.
Reneau was executed in 2002.
