Texas set to execute man who killed food delivery woman

By Jon Herskovitz AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) – Texas is set to put to death convicted murderer Anthony Doyle on Thursday as it keeps its pace of executions steady while other states have had to postpone capital punishments because they cannot obtain drugs used in lethal injections. He is scheduled to die by lethal injection at the state’s death chamber in Huntsville at 6 p.m. CDT (2300 GMT). Texas, which has executed more people than any other state since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976, has obtained a fresh batch of its execution drug pentobarbital, the Department of Criminal Justice said this month, without revealing the source. On Thursday, a state judge ordered Texas to release the name of its new drug supplier.
