Arthur Lee Burton was sentenced to death for killing Nancy Adleman, a mother of three, while she was jogging on a summer evening in Houston.
TexasTexas is set to execute Arthur Lee Burton on Wednesday evening for the 1997 killing and attempted kidnapping and rape of a Houston woman.
“The morning after she didn’t come home I find a baby sparrow in the garden next to the birdbath, under the pine tree,”. “If I can nurse the bird back to health my mother will be OK. I make a home for the bird in a shoebox, cut grapes for it to eat, and keep it on my bedside table for two nights.” In a petition filed just days before his scheduled execution, Burton presented “recently-developed evidence” of his intellectual disability, including an evaluation by a clinical psychologist who found that Burton meets the criteria for “mild intellectual disability,” various neuropsychological tests, school records and supporting commentary from seven people who knew him in his adolescence.
