2nd man executed in torture killing of Arlington teenager

The second man convicted in the 1998 torture killing of 19-year-old Amy Robinson in Arlington has been executed.

Michael Wayne Hall, 31, was pronounced dead at 6:23 p.m. Tuesday at the Huntsville Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the Associated Press reported. Robert Neville, the other man convicted in the murder of the mentally challenged teen, was executed in 2006.

Before he was executed Tuesday, Hall apologized for what he'd done and repeatedly asked for forgiveness, the AP reported.

Gee he knew he had done wrong (apologized and asked for forgiveness), according to mommy dearest and the ambulance chaser he was retarded. I am thinking only retarded ones are mommy dearest and ambulance chaser

I do not believe in executions but what they did was so wrong. I just hope there other ways of punishment to those people.

Justice served.

There is no other way to punish these type of people. They expect mercy but never show mercy to their victims. In order to stop this madness, death penalty needs to be utilized more, and make the death penalty open to the public. Go back to courthouse hangings. Let these killers and animals see what will happen when they rape, molest and kill children, women and those that cannot help themselves. www.mcelyealaw.com

You may not believe in the death penalty and think its inhuman to humans but guess what...someone who tortures and kills a mental challenged teen is really NO longer human. He is worse then an animal.
