A Texas inmate, who reportedly taunted a jury to sentence him to death, was executed on Wednesday evening for torturing and drowning an East Texas woman in his bathtub and eventually stuffing her body into a barrel. Troy Clark was punished for the May 1998 killing of his former roommate, Christina Muse of Tyler. According to authorities, Clark, who was a drug dealer, was worried that Muse would snitch on him.

Reports from the New York Post stated that while he was taken to his execution, Clark chuckled and addressed several friends watching through a window a few feet from him. He even told them a number of times that he loved them and "it's all good".
