In a final statement, Gayland Bradford, 42, thanked friends for being with him "through thick and thin." "I am at peace," he said. "We have no worries, just as I have no more worries. To the victim's family, may you be at peace also."
"We have no anger towards Mr. Bradford and forgive him of his crime against our family," the victim's brother said in a statement released following the punishment. "We now turn our thoughts and prayers to Mr. Bradford's family and friends and pray that God will give them the strength, comfort and understanding as they now grieve the loss of their loved one."
The U.S. Supreme Court last week refused to reconsider an appeal they rejected earlier, clearing the way for Bradford to become the fourth Texas prisoner executed this year.
