Billy Crutsinger, 64, was declared dead at 6:40 p.m. CDT at the state’s death chamber in Huntsville, the Texas Department of Justice said in a statement. There is a lot of this I don’t understand but the system is not completely right,” he said in a lengthy statement before his death, according to the department. Crutsinger was sentenced to death by a jury in 2003 after being convicted of the murders of Pearl Magouirk and her 71-year-old daughter, Patricia Syren, earlier that year.
