Texas completes its fifth execution of 2025
As reported in this Texas Tribune article, in Texas “Blaine Milam was executed Thursday evening for the 2008 killing of his then-fiancée’s 13-month-old daughter after his two previous execution dates were delayed.” Here is more:
In 2008, Milam and the girl’s mother, Jesseca Carson, called police to their home near Tatum, where authorities found 13-month-old Amora Carson dead, with human bite marks on her body and signs of physical and sexual assault, according to court documents. The two initially gave police different reasons for the toddler’s death, including that they had left the home and found her injured, that she had eaten insulation and later that they had performed an exorcism on the child.
Milam was executed by lethal injection and pronounced dead at 6:40 p.m., according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. In his final statement, the 35-year-old thanked those who supported him while he was on death row and the TDCJ chaplains for helping him find religion.
