A Texas man who was on death row for the murder of a pregnant
Lubbock woman was executed on Tuesday.
Rosendo Rodriguez III, dubbed the "Suitcase Killer," was
sentenced to death in the 2005 slaying of 29-year-old Summer
Baldwin, a pregnant prostitute whose naked and battered body was
found inside of a new suitcase in a Lubbock city landfill.
Investigators tracked down the luggage purchase to Rodriguez, a
38-year-old Marine reservist who was in Lubbock for training.
He also confessed to killing a 16-year-old girl, also from
Lubbock, and similarly dumped her body in a suitcase.
Rodriguez's lawyers on Tuesday made a last-minute appeal to the
U.S. Supreme Court to stop the execution, wherein they
questioned the credibility of a medical examiner who testified
at Rodriguez's trial about the fatal injuries suffered by
Baldwin.
The Supreme Court rejected the appeal less than 30 minutes
before his scheduled death.
