Texas strangler of ex-wife, girl gets wish - execution

DeseretNews.com

Friday, Sept. 26, 1997

A man who said he wanted to be executed ever since he strangled his ex-wife and stepdaughter two years ago got his wish.

Benjamin Stone, 45, died by injection Thursday. Stone refused to make a final statement, shaking his head no as one of his sisters cried and trembled. None of the relatives of the murder victims attended the execution.

"As far as I'm concerned, it's the only way I'll find peace of mind," Stone said in an earlier interview.

Stone told police he "just snapped" when explaining why he had killed the two at the family home in Corpus Christi.

Stone refused legal help and refused to have appeals filed on his behalf. His execution was the 28th in Texas this year, adding to the state's ongoing record.
