HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) -- Train-hopping serial killer Angel Maturino Resendiz, linked to at least 15 murders near railroad tracks around the country, was executed Tuesday night.
Resendiz mumbled a prayer, saying "Lord, forgive me. Lord, forgive me" as he waited for the execution to proceed. He acknowledged the presence of relatives watching through a nearby window and then turned and looked toward the relatives of victims in another room.
