Arthur Brown Jr. is on death row for capital murder following the deaths of four people during a 1992 drug rip at a southwest Houston home.Prosecutors and defense attorneys are trying to sway a Harris County judge to make a decision about death row inmate Arthur Brown: set an execution date or let his lawyers investigate whether he has an intellectual disability that could preclude him from capital punishment.
A lawyer with experience in investigating such claims should be appointed instead, he continued, adding that more time will be needed. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office expressed no surprise by Mansur’s apparent attempt to push back the execution and reminded Cornelio that “the law does not require a delay for appointment of new counsel.”
The victims can be seen face down on the ground with gunshot wounds to the head, blood-stained linens used to tie them up pictured near their bodies. Toys for children are scattered about.“Crime scene photographs considered by the jury underscore the brutality of the capital murders and the appropriateness of the death sentence,” Reiss wrote.
