The inmate, Jack H. Smith, had been on death row since October 1978 for a fatal shooting during a $90 robbery of a Houston store.Death by natural causes is not an execution.
I am left curious as to other evidence of the guilt of Jack H. Smith.

Group Says Politics Are Stalling New York City’s Inquiry of Yeshivas
Critics who say the schools don’t provide an adequate secular education accused the de Blasio administration of dragging its feet to retain support of ultra-Orthodox Jews.The problem seems to be the definition of "substantial equivalency".
The Department of Education lawyers are probably having difficulty.
They failed to define school.

A Promise to Favor Republicans for Ohio Jobs Spurs Call for Inquiry
A politician in the city of Marietta said in a Facebook post that young Republicans would have a leg up for summer jobs at the state Department of Transportation.
"Mr.
Bertram, the city legal director and a former Republican City Council
president, denied that political cronyism played any role in how
government jobs were given out in Marietta. He said doing so would not
be “kosher.”
He
called Ms. Oxender’s Facebook post “an off-the-cuff statement that was
inappropriate that has been blown out of proportion,” but said he had
trouble understanding why she would have written or shared it at all.
“I
don’t think she was trying to be funny,” he said. “I just don’t
understand. I think it just comes down to she wasn’t thinking.”
City
Council members are not directly involved in the personnel decisions of
the Transportation Department, he said, but he added that a local
politician could recommend job applicants, “and then they are pushed on
to the powers that be” for an interview."
"Truth will out."
