Execution milestone

Texas, which executes more people by far than any other state in the country, is about to hit a milestone. Kimberly McCarthy is scheduled to be executed tonight by leghal injection for killing her neighbor during a robbery in 1997. She will be the 500th person put to death in the Lone Star State since the death penalty was reinstated in 1977. Number-two in executions is Virginia, but that state is almost 400 behind Texas.
