Richard's friends and family are in my prayers, as well as Richard himself. My God give him the strength to get through this nightmare. I seriously thought he would be granted a stay, and i'm so disappointed that he has not as of yet.......this world is a sad, sad place.

As of 2:40 PM TX time; TX TV station reporting that the execution is still expected. However; there is still an appeal pending.
Guys - til the last minute there can be a stay... I have seen it be on, then off, then on, then off; then on all within a couple of hours.
So this could be an emotional roller coaster....
Or they could just deny it and proceed at 6 PM. TX time. (which is 7pm EST)

I have seen them wait for the appeals to work their way through and the execution does continue until like 2 hours or so later.
This waiting is cruel for family and friends.... All I keep thinking about today is little Rikky. As an adult, I don't deal with this stuff well. How does an 8 year old child deal with it?
