Texas Man Faces Execution for 2008 Toddler Murder

Texas Man Faces Execution for 2008 Toddler Murder

Blaine Milam, now 35, is set to be executed for the 2008 murder of 13-month-old Amora Carson.

Milam, then 18, and his girlfriend claimed they were performing an exorcism.

Prosecutors say Milam tortured the girl, including beating, biting, and strangling her.

The autopsy found multiple injuries, but could not determine a single cause of death.

Milam denies the crime, blaming his ex-girlfriend, who is serving a life sentence.

His lawyers are trying to stop the execution, citing unreliable evidence and potential intellectual disability.

The Supreme Court has rejected his appeals.

If carried out, Milam’s execution would be the fifth in Texas this year.
