An Inclusive Litany
10/13/92
In mid-1988 Texas officials were unable to carry out the execution of
convicted murderer Ramon Montoya because his death warrant failed to
arrive before his scheduled execution date. The warrant was mailed
more than one month before the date on which Montoya was to die.
Officials rescheduled the execution for December 1, 1988, before the
bulk of the Christmas mailing rush.
