David Wood's execution stay frustrates victims' families in Texas

David Wood, known as the "Desert Killer," received a stay of execution from Texas's highest appeals court just before his scheduled execution on March 13. This marks the second time his execution has been halted, with a previous stay granted in 2009. Victims' families, including Marcia Fulton, whose daughter was among Wood's victims, expressed frustration over the delays. Fulton has waited 37 years for justice and is concerned about the ongoing appeals process, which could take weeks to resolve. Wood has maintained his innocence for decades, claiming unreliable evidence led to his conviction. The Texas Attorney General's Office is reviewing multiple appeals filed in the case, but no new appeals have been recorded since the stay was granted.
