Texas man set to be executed for children's murders

We want to talk right now about Texas. We are set, not we, Texas is set to carry out another execution tonight, this time for the 2003 killing of three young children in Brownsville. Right now to tell us all about the case is our assignment desk editor, Tan Radford, with the latest. What can you tell us, Tan? Hey Coco, John Rubio is set to be executed by lethal injection today down in Huntsville. Now his team has worked to try and make this stop, but the only thing that can stop this is the US Supreme Court with an emergency stay. This all happened in 2003 when he was 23 years old. Right now he is 46 years old and he is charged with capital murder of three children. Those children were ages two-month Mary Jane, one-year-old John Esteban Rubio, and three-year-old Julissa Angela Quisada. Prosecutors say Rubio and his common-law wife, Angela Camacho, suffocated. ...stabbed and decapitated the children inside their apartment, with Rubio claiming he believed they were possessed by evil spirits. Two of those children were his biological children, and the oldest was his stepdaughter. Angela Camacho is currently serving three life sentences for her role in the killings, while Rubio's attorney spent years appealing his death sentence over claims of severe mental illness. A judge did rule him competent. For execution last month, federal and state courts ruled that the jury had ample evidence showing Rubio knew his actions were illegal. Specifically, that he cleaned up the crime scene, hid the bodies in trash bags and immediately surrendered to police, telling them to just arrest him because he knew he did something bad. Both the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles rejected recent requests to halt tonight's lethal injection, which is scheduled for six. He is set to have his last meal at 5 p.m. And right now we don't know what witnesses may be there, but we do know there could be witnesses from the victim's side, along from his side of the family, as well as the media. So we will continue to keep posted as we learn more on this execution that is set for around 6 p.m. tonight, Coco. And, you know, there has been some talk after the botched Krista Pike execution in Tennessee. I know there has been another one in Texas, Jamal Howard, in October. Are there any concerns that something like that may happen again? Well, that's another option to stop this process if there are some medical procedures that go wrong in there. But we haven't heard any concerns as of right now, but that could stop the process as well.
