Texas inmate Richard Lee Tabler, convicted of murder, faces execution despite mental competence questions.

Richard Lee Tabler, a Texas inmate, is set for execution after being convicted of murdering strip club manager Mohammed-Amine Rahmouni and his friend Haitham Zayed in 2004. Tabler also confessed to killing two teenage girls who worked at the club but was never tried for those crimes. In 2008, he smuggled a cellphone to threaten a state senator, leading to a statewide prison lockdown. Despite appeals questioning his mental competence, Tabler's execution is scheduled to proceed.
