Execution of El Paso serial killer halted

from The El Paso Matters Podcast

Texas' highest criminal court recently blocked the execution of David Leonard Wood, an El Paso man who has been on death row for 32 years after a jury in 1992 convicted him of murdering at least two young women and burying their remains in the desert. El Paso Matters founder and CEO Bob Moore comes on the show to discuss why the court halted the long-planned execution, his experience covering this story for decades and what it means for criminal justice in El Paso. You can read Bob's reporting on the Wood case at elpasomatters.org.
