It is execution day in Huntsville, Texas. Texas is the death capital of the United States. Anti-death penalty activists, and the friends and supporters of condemned killer, Mark Stroman, gather outside the Death Unit to protest Stroman's execution. Stroman's case is a high-profile case in the United States because his motive for killing his victims is linked to the 9/11 terrorist attack. Some believe that Stroman is a changed man and should not be executed. Even one of Stroman's victims, Rais, a Bangladeshi-American, who survived Stroman's attack, has forgiven Stroman, and wants the execution stopped. Stroman is the so-called 9/11 killer, a former white supremacist who shot and killed people of Arab looking descent after the 9/11 terrorist attack. The normal execution time of 6pm has passed, and the Supreme Court are still considering Stroman's case. This delay by the Supreme Court gives Stroman's supporters and the activists hope. It means that Stroman's execution might not go ahead, and be stopped. The clock continues to tick. Will Stroman die tonight, or will the Supreme Court let him live?
