    In today's orders, the United States Supreme Court declined to review Bible's petition for certiorari.

    Appeals exhausted. Ruling could result in execution date.
    Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next products.

    "They will hurt you. They will hurt your grandma, these people. The root cause of this is there's no discipline in the homes, they don't go to school, you know, they live off the government, no personal accountability, and they just beat people up for no reason, and it's disgusting." - Former Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters

    Texas death row inmate Danny Bible loses at US Supreme Court

    HOUSTON (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court has refused an appeal from a prisoner on Texas death row for the 1979 slaying of a woman who went to his house in Houston to use a telephone and was found later stabbed 11 times with an ice pick, raped and dumped on the bank of a bayou.

    The high court, without comment Tuesday, rejected the appeal of 65-year-old Danny Paul Bible.

    Bible wasn't tried for the killing of 20-year-old Inez Deaton until 2003. He was arrested in Florida in 1998 for a Louisiana rape and told authorities about her killing and two others in Weatherford, just west of Fort Worth. He previously served prison time in Texas for killing another woman in Weatherford. Records also show he raped an 11-year-old girl in Montana.

    Houston ice pick killer and serial rapist gets June execution date

    By Keri Blakinger
    The Houston Chronicle

    Everywhere he went, Danny Bible left behind chaos and carnage.

    Slayings in North Texas. Kidnapping in Montana. Robbery in Houston. Rape in Louisiana.

    Once, he took an axe to his girlfriend's car because he didn't like her haircut. Another time he set a woman's car on fire.

    But now - almost 40 years after the gruesome crime that landed him on death row - Bible is set to meet the state's harshest punishment.

    In a court hearing early Monday, a Harris County judge signed a death warrant for the 66-year-old quadruple killer, who is now slated to die by lethal injection on June 27.

    "Some criminals' actions are so heinous, they earn the label 'worst of the worst,'" Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a statement Monday. "The jury who listened to the facts and saw the evidence of the crimes Danny Bible committed clearly reached that conclusion by sentencing him to death."

    A former drifter, Bible's lengthy string of violence dates back to at least 1979. That May, a passerby found the bloodied, half-naked body of Inez Deaton along the slope of a Houston bayou.

    The 20-year-old was covered in bruises and had been stabbed 11 times with an ice pick before her killer posed her corpse by the water, according to court records.

    The married mother of a 2-year-old had disappeared days earlier, when she stopped next door at Bible's home to use the phone.

    No one ever saw her alive again.

    For nearly two decades, Deaton's slaying went unsolved. In the meantime, Bible crisscrossed the country with a chain of violence.

    Immediately after the Houston killing, Bible fled to Wyoming and Montana. While there, he terrorized his new girlfriend, once punching her face so hard she needed stitches, and another time dousing her car with gasoline before setting it ablaze.

    After that relationship, he came back to Texas, where he landed a job in the town of Weatherford, west of Fort Worth. There, in 1983, he murdered his sister-in-law Tracy Powers and her infant son Justin.

    Then, he killed Powers' roommate, Pam Hudgins, and left her body hanging from a roadside fence.

    Following the slayings, he fled to Montana where he kidnapped a woman and raped an 11-year-old girl.

    Eventually, he was caught and in 1984 he pleaded guilty to Hudgins' murder. He was sentenced to 25 years for the killing and 20 years for a Harris County robbery, according to court records.

    He was released on parole after just 8 years.

    While still under supervision he repeatedly raped and molested five younger relatives, including a 5-year-old. He sexually assaulted the girls in the back of a converted bus, they later testified, and even offered to pay a 12-year-old to have his baby.

    Then he moved to Louisiana and in 1998 forced his way into Tera Robinson's motel room, then tore off her clothes and raped her. When he couldn't maintain an erection, he became enraged, binding and gagging the woman before stuffing her in a duffel back.

    She managed to break free and call for help.

    Bible fled to Florida, where he was later arrested and brought back to Louisiana.

    In a series of tape-recorded interrogations, Bible freely admitted to a slew of crimes - though authorities at the time suspected there could be more.

    "There's no telling what we've got here," West Baton Rouge Parish detective Randall Walker said. "A serial killer can't kill three or four people and then just quit."

    Bible was sentenced in life without parole in Louisiana and in 2003 a Harris County jury sentenced him to death after just three hours of deliberation.

    "I think it's wonderful," his cousin Wynona Bible - Deaton's best friend - said after the sentencing. "Justice was done for Inez today."

    Weeks after his loss in court, Bible narrowly escaped death during a head-on collision as prison guards drove him to death row in July 2003. The officer behind the wheel, 40-year-old John Bennett, died after the wreck on U.S. Highway 190 near Polunsky Unit.

    Although Bible survived, he spent months in the hospital, requiring multiple surgeries and ultimately ending up in a wheelchair due to lasting nerve damage in his left leg, according to appellate court filings.

    The extent of his injuries formed a key part of his later appeals, when his attorney argued that he couldn't be a future danger in his deteriorating condition.

    Over the course of his nearly 20 years of appeals, Bible also challenged the constitutionality of Texas' death penalty, raised claims about alleged bias in jury selection and argued that bad lawyering earlier in the case failed to object when prosecutors reenacted a rape in the courtroom.

    The U.S. Supreme Court turned down his appeals in 2016.

    On Monday, Bible was appeared in the 351st State District Court in Harris County for a short hearing, according to the Harris County District Attorney's Office. A judge signed off on the execution order and issued a death warrant.

    The Lone Star State has already seen three execution this year, including another Houston serial killer, Anthony Shore. Aside from Bible's, there are three more death dates on the calendar in Texas.
