Kevin Lee Zimmerman, 42, was executed today for the 1987 robbery and murder of Leslie Gilbert Hooks Jr., 33. The execution occurred 6 weeks after he had made a similiar trip to the death house only to have his life spared within about 20 minutes of the scheduled execution (see December 11 and 15, 2003). At 6:19 p.m., he was pronounced dead. Zimmerman becomes the 3rd condemned inmate to be put to death this year in Texas.
