TEXAS, ALABAMA EXECUTE KILLERS POWELL, TAYLOR

NO ONE is going to get out the hankies for these guys. Two states ratcheted up ultimate justice yesterday for a pair of ruthless killers. Alabama executed Eddie Duval Powell, left, for the rape, robbery and murder of a woman, aged 70. He apologized for "the pain he caused everyone." An earlier appeal was knocked down. He murdered Mattie Wesson in 1995. He said there should be no execution because he is mentally challenged. Didn't work.
In Texas, Lee Andrew Taylor, 32, right,was put to death for stabbing another inmate to death in 1999. He told his mother and wife he loved them and apologized for the murder of Donta Green. He always maintained he was acting in self-defence. Lest you have doubts... he was doing a life sentence for killing a man during a home invasion.
