Texas Executes Harvey Earvin for 1977 Robbery-Murder
Death Sentence Upheld by Texas Courts
Conclusion
The execution of Harvey Earvin marks the culmination of a long and controversial legal battle. Earvin's attorneys argued that he was intellectually disabled and therefore ineligible for the death penalty. However, the courts rejected this argument, ruling that Earvin was not intellectually disabled enough to be spared execution. Earvin's execution is a reminder that the death penalty is still a legal punishment in Texas. However, it is also a reminder that the death penalty is a controversial punishment, and that there is ongoing debate about its morality and efficacy.
