A Texas man who said his death sentence was based on false and unscientific expert testimony was executed Thursday evening for killing a man during a robbery decades ago.

Brent Ray Brewer, 53, received a lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville for the April 1990 death of Robert Laminack. The inmate was pronounced dead at 6:39 p.m. local time, 15 minutes after the chemicals began flowing.

Prosecutors had said Laminack, 66, gave Brewer and his girlfriend a ride to a Salvation Army location in Amarillo when he was stabbed in the neck and robbed of $140.

Brewer’s execution came hours after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to step in over the inmate’s claims that prosecutors had relied on false and discredited expert testimony at his 2009 resentencing trial.

    Ok nvm you’re also insane lol

    I randomly happened to notice how you downvoted that comment a rather long time ago, like at least 20 minutes. So presumably, you spent quite a long time writing your reply. I’m guessing, you tried writing an actual response first, and realized that you couldn’t find a way to make yourself look good, so you resorted to this… thing.

      Like I said, you’re insane. “randomly happened to notice” my ass. I’m so glad this is an anonymous account because you’re actually give stalker vibes.

        Yes, I happened to look at my own most recent comment when I logged on this morning. What a weird thing that only a stalker would do! I must be stalking myself, and that’s something that only an insane person would do! As you say, that’s the most likely explanation.

        Anyways, you’re just insulting me and saying the dumbest shit. I’m disappointed. If Mister Rogers was still alive, he’d be disappointed in you, as well.
