TEXAS PLANS TO EXECUTE: VAUGHN ROSS, A former architecture student at Texas Tech. He was condemned in the 2001 murders of an 18-year-old woman with whom he was feuding and a Texas Tech associate dean who happened to be with her. Ross’s attorneys argued that police contaminated DNA testing by mishandling it and suggested the slayings stemmed from Birdsall’s visits to “a high-crime area” to patronize prostitutes. Family members of the victims said the death sentence brought them little peace. Family members included Birdsall’s son, Nat, who opposes the death penalty and said his father did, too. Ross’s execution would be No. 502 in Texas in the modern death penalty era.
