A purported white supremacist is set to be executed for participating in a notorious hate crime in Texas, in which a black man was chained to the back of a pickup truck and dragged to his death. Lawrence Brewer is scheduled for lethal injection this evening. He was condemned for fastening 49-year-old James Byrd Jr. to the truck in Jasper in 1998 and pulling him along a bumpy road. Another man's case in Byrd's death remains under appeal. A third got life in prison.
