It could get interesting in Huntsville on Wednesday.
Partial excerpt
Basso was condemned for the gruesome beating death in 1998 of Louis "Buddy" Musso. According to the state, Basso lured Musso, a 59-year-old intellectually disabled man, to Texas from New Jersey by promising to marry him and then, with five other people – including her son – abused Musso, beatings that left his body covered in bruises from head to toe, before he was finally killed by a series of brutal blows to the head, as part of a scheme to collect insurance money and Musso's other assets.
Basso will be the eighth woman put to death in Texas since the mid-1800s, the second inmate executed this year, and the 510th executed since reinstatement of the death penalty.
