Steven Lawayne Nelson, convicted of murdering Rev. Clint Dobson, was executed on Wednesday. Before his death, he urged his wife to live a full life and uttered 'love' twice as the lethal injection took effect.
A Texas man convicted of murdering a pastor was executed on Wednesday, delivering chilling last words before his death. Steven Lawayne Nelson, 37, was found guilty of the 2011 killing of Rev. Clint Dobson, who was brutally beaten, strangled, and suffocated with a plastic bag inside NorthPointe Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas .
Nelson spent his final moments alive speaking to his wife, Helena Noa Dubois, urging her to live a full life as she held up a white service dog to a window separating Nelson from witnesses to his execution. 'It is what it is,' he could be heard telling his wife, whom he married just two weeks before his execution, according to the Associated Press. Inside the execution chamber, Nelson remained defiant. 'I’m not scared. I’m at peace. Let’s ride, Warden,' the killer said right before he was lethally injected with pentobarbital. As the fatal dose coursed through his system, Nelson was seen mouthing the word, 'love,' twice before briefly convulsing. Nelson had been indicted in the killing of another inmate while imprisoned and awaiting his trial, though he was never tried for that charge. This execution follows another lethal injection last Friday in South Carolina, where Marion Bowman Jr. received the death penalty for a 2001 murder.
