11 Criminals Executed for Horrible Crimes in East Texas

It's a place that no one wants to be on death row in the state of Texas. While I have never been there myself I can only assume it is a very lonely and depressing place as you continue to fight for one day to hopefully find freedom or for some it's just time to come to the realization that whatever crime was committed will now be the event that leads to the end of their life. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice keeps track of all inmates who have been put to death which helped me put together this list of criminals put to death from crimes that were committed in Smith County, Texas.

What I found most alarming in many of the instances you will read about below is that these criminals were willing to use such extreme violence over such a small amount of money, we're talking a few hundred dollars. It's just mind-blowing to hear about such violent situations that happened in the same areas that we drive by every day.
