Killer in Amarillo robbery executed

HUNTSVILLE, TX He quoted from the Bible in his final statement, saying, "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted."

He then said -- quote -- "It is finished."

The parents of Davis' victim watched through a window a few feet from him but he never looked at them. He was pronounced dead eight minutes after the lethal drugs began to flow.

Forty-year-old Davis had been out of prison less than four months when authorities said he and several friends were involved in robbing an acquaintance, 26-year-old Michael Barrow, and killing him at Barrow's home.

Davis' execution was the fourth in Texas this year and the second in as many weeks.
