Texas' top criminal
court called off Wednesday's scheduled execution of a death row inmate linked
to five killings in Houston, though attorneys said the court didn't immediately
explain its decision.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals issued a
reprieve Tuesday afternoon to inmate Garcia White, 51, who was sentenced to
death after being convicted of fatally stabbing twin 16-year-old girls at a
Houston apartment where their mother also was killed. White also was tied to
the deaths of a grocery store owner and a prostitute.
