Depending on who you ask, Marvin Wilson was either dumb as
a rock or a brilliant entrepreneur. Wilson, a career criminal who was sentenced
to death for killing a police informant, almost escaped his capital punishment
by performing poorly on a state-issued IQ test. But others contend that Wilson
was both smart and capable.
“Considering Wilson's drug-dealing, street-gambler, criminal
lifestyle since an early age, he was obviously competent at managing money, and
not having a 9-to-5 job is no critical failure,” said an assistant attorney
general, who then commented on Wilson’s “inventiveness, drive, and leadership.”
After Wilson’s execution, the prison print shop started work
on a series of motivational posters which will be placed in all cells
immediately.
Because Texas did away with special last meal requests in
2011, Marvin Wilson was served the same food as every other inmate. The daily dinner was chicken patties, but officials aren't sure if Wilson ate them or not.
