Texas Death Row Inmate Danny Bible Loses at US Supreme Court
By MICHAEL GRACZYK, ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON — Oct 11, 2016, 3:10 PM ET
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday refused an appeal from Texas death row inmate Danny Paul Bible, who was convicted of the 1979 icepick slaying of a woman who went to his house in Houston to use a telephone and was found later stabbed 11 times, raped and dumped on the bank of a bayou.
The high court offered no comment on its rejection.
Bible, 65, does not yet have an execution date.
Court records show Bible has confessed to four killings, including 20-year-old Inez Deaton, whose slaying went unsolved for nearly two decades. He wasn't tied to her death until 1998 when he was arrested in Fort Myers, Florida, for a Louisiana rape and told authorities about killing Deaton in Houston and a woman and her baby west of Fort Worth in North Texas.
