LIVINGSTON ? Texas prisoner Coy Wesbrook is realistic about the likelihood that he?ll be executed Wednesday for a Houston-area shooting rampage more than 18 years ago that left five people dead.
?I?m very optimistic they?re going to kill me,? Wesbrook said from a visiting cage outside death row. ?Yeah, there ain?t no doubt.?
That?s set to happen Wednesday evening in Huntsville, when Wesbrook, 58, is scheduled for lethal injection for the 1997 shooting rampage during a party at his ex-wife?s apartment in Channelview, just east of Houston.
?The main thing in my case is five victims, five shots, five bodies, and everybody died,? he said. ?There was nobody left alive and that pretty much cinched it, you could say.?
Among the five victims was Wesbrook?s ex-wife, Gloria Jean Coons, 32. Others killed were Coons? roommate, Diana Ruth Money, 43, and three men: Antonio Cruz, 35; Anthony Ray Rogers, 41; and Kelly Hazlip, 28.
