       'Ice Pick Killer' Danny Bible executed for r*p*, murder--
       Danny Paul Bible received lethal injection Wednesday evening for
       the death of 20-year-old Inez Deaton, whose body was found on
       the banks of a Houston bayou.
       Wednesday, June 27, 2018
       HUNTSVILLE, Texas - A 66-year-old Texas prisoner accused of four
       killings and at least nine rapes has been executed for a 1979
       r*p* and murder in Houston that went unsolved for two decades
       until he confessed.
       Danny Paul Bible received lethal injection Wednesday. He died at
       6:32 p.m.
       Bible gave no final statement but did mutter "Burning...it
       hurts."
       He raped 20-year-old Inez Deaton, stabbed her with an ice pick
       and dumped her on the banks of Greens Bayou. Deaton was the
       mother of a 2-year-old girl.
       "Mr. Bible's history of criminal conduct puts him in a class of
       the worst of the worst,” said David Mitcham, trial bureau chief
       for the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
       Bible’s attorneys still filed a lawsuit in attempt to halt the
       66-year-old’s execution, saying his veins are too weak for
       lethal IV, and it could result in a botched execution.
       Mitcham calls the suit absurd.
       "It's without any kind of medical foundation,” he said. “It's a
       tedious argument of insidious intent to evade justice."
       It’s justice some thought might never come.
       After initially getting away with Deaton's murder, Bible left
       Houston.
       In 1983, outside of Dallas, Bible murdered three people on the
       same day: his sister-in-law, her 4-month-old son and their
       roommate.
       Bible was sentenced to 25 years in prison, but he was released
       in 1992 on parole after serving only eight years.
       He then raped five young family members, according to Harris
       County District Attorney Kim Ogg.
       In 1998, he was arrested after raping a woman in Louisiana.
       That’s when he confessed to the Houston cold case.
       In 2003, a Harris County judge gave him the death penalty. Since
       then, he’s been living out his days on death row.
       Mitcham said it’s a sentence fitting for a man known as the “Ice
       Pick Killer.”
       "He is certainly deserving of what the jury decided was the
       proper punishment,” Mitcham said.
