Norman Green Case
A man who gunned down a San Antonio store clerk during a robbery has been executed in Huntsville. Norman Evans Green was declared dead at 6:17 p.m. CST today after receiving a lethal injection for the 1985 slaying of 18-year-old Timothy Adams during the robbery of a Dyer Electronics store.
Green replied ‘no’ when asked if he had a last statement. The victim’s father, Ernest Adams, knelt on one knee and bowed his head in prayer after Green was declared dead.
According to the evidence, Timothy Adams was shot four times when he failed to move quickly enough in following Green’s commands during the robbery, which netted nothing for Green and his accomplice, Harold Bowens. Witnesses who came into the store after hearing shots fired said that before he died, Adams said, ‘They tried to rob me, but they didn’t get anything.’
Green’s former attorney, Sid Harle — now a state district judge — says Green repeatedly rejected a plea agreement for a life prison sentence. Bowens is currently serving a life term for his role in the crime. The manager of the Dyer Electronics store at the time of the robbery was Gerry Rickoff, who is now the Bexar County Clerk. Green was the seventh Texas death row inmate executed this year and the 171st since the state resumed the death penalty in 1982.
