Garcia Glenn White’s final words before Texas execution

A man convicted of fatally stabbing twin 16-year-old girls more than three decades ago was executed in Texas on Tuesday.

Garcia Glenn White, 61, was pronounced dead at 6:56 p.m. CDT after receiving a lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville.

He was condemned for the December 1989 killings of Annette and Bernette Edwards. The bodies of the twin girls and their mother, Bonita Edwards, were found in their Houston apartment.

White confessed to killing five people in total in three separate attacks. His first victim was Greta Williams in 1989, and his last victim was Hai Pham, who he beat to death during a robbery of his convenience store in 1995.

White repeatedly apologized for the killings in his final words. “First I would like to apologize for all the wrong I have done, and for the pain I’ve caused to the Edwards family,” he said from the death chamber, according to a transcript provided to Newsweek by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

“I regret, I apologize, and I pray that you can find peace, comfort and closure in your heart for the wrong I have done and the pain I have caused you, and anybody else I’ve caused pain to. I just want to apologize; I take responsibility for it.”
