Texas inmate executed for murder of ex-classmate

  • Death row inmate Moises Mendoza, 41, was executed for the murder of Rachelle Tolleson, 20, in Texas in 2004.
  • Mendoza confessed to killing Tolleson and later moved and burned her body, although he contested the sexual assault claim.
  • His appeals, including one to the U.S. Supreme Court and a clemency request, were denied, with the Texas Attorney General's office asserting they were meritless.
  • Mendoza died by lethal injection at 6:40 p.m., using his final words to apologize to Tolleson's family for taking her life.
