Texas executes man who questioned evidence from 2000 carjacking trial

Jedidiah Murphy was executed in Texas for fatally shooting an elderly woman during a 2000 carjacking.
Murphy's attorneys sought DNA testing on evidence from his trial and appealed the execution over safety concerns about the lethal injection drugs used.
The U.S. Supreme Court overturned an earlier stay and allowed the execution to proceed as scheduled.
Murphy apologized to the victim's family before reciting a Psalm during his execution.
The execution took place on World Day Against the Death Penalty despite advocacy against capital punishment.
