Texas Executes Travis Mullis for 2008 Murder of Infant Son

Mullis, who waived his right to appeal, was the fourth inmate executed in Texas this year.

Travis Mullis, 38, was executed by lethal injection for killing his 3-month-old son Alijah in January 2008.
Mullis had a history of mental illness and had repeatedly waived his right to appeal his death sentence.
He confessed to sexually assaulting and killing his son after reaching a 'breaking point' when the baby wouldn't stop crying.
Mullis' execution was part of a series of five executions scheduled within a week in the U.S., the first time in over 20 years.
In his final statement, Mullis expressed regret for his crime and thanked those who supported his rehabilitation efforts.
