Behind the story
Last year, CT covered the legal fight of John Ramirez, a man on death row in Texas who had been denied the chance for his pastor to be with him and lay hands on him during his execution. Ramirez was granted multiple delays, including by the US Supreme Court, and his death by lethal injection has been scheduled for today.
But unlike the previous dates, this time the state plans to grant Ramirez’s request and allow his pastor, Dana Moore, to lay his hand on his chest as he dies. CNN reports that after years of ministering to him, it would be the first time Moore and Ramirez get to touch.
