Arthur Burton (TDCJ)
A man who killed a jogger in Houston 27 years ago is scheduled to be executed in Huntsville on Wednesday.
Arthur Lee Burton, 54, will be executed by lethal injection at 6 p.m., pending any last-second appeals.
On July 27, 1997, Burton confronted Nancy Adleman, a 48-year-old jogger, and forced her into a nearby wooded area. He attempted to sexually assault her but was alerted to a witness approaching during the attack. She screamed, and he strangled her with her own shoelaces and fled on foot.
KPRC 2 investigative reporter Robert Arnold will be a media witness at the execution at Texas State Penitentiary at Huntsville.
