He made a brief last statement: “I love you. To Gerald, you’re a zero. I love you Mandy; Tiffany, I love you, too.” He paused for a moment, then said: “Punch the button. We are ready.” Yowell, 43, was the 14th inmate the state of Texas has executed this year, and the second from Lubbock County. Mandy and Tiffany referred to his daughters, who attended the execution. Gerald may have been in reference to a witness, Gerald Harder, who attended the execution with the daughters and Yowell’s ex-wife, Amanda Weathers. Yowell was taken from a holding cell at 6:42 p.m., shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected one final attempt to block the execution pending the outcome of a lawsuit filed last week challenging the state prison system’s use of the drug pentobarbital obtained from a compounding pharmacy. The lethal dose of pentobarbital, also known as Nembutal, was injected into the intravenous catheters at 6:52 p.m. Shortly after that, Yowell appeared to struggle for breath several times before settling into sleep, inhaling and snoring eight times before his audible breathing stopped. Yowell, 43, became pale. A prison physician checked for pulse and breathing and made the pronouncement of death. Yowell was convicted in 1999 of killing his parents, John and Carol Yowell. No witnesses attended on their behalf. He told investigators he initially planned to take a few cigarettes when he entered his parents’ bedroom early on the morning of May 9, 1998 — the day before Mother’s Day. He shot his father in the head, then beat his mother before strangling her with a lamp cord. Yowell already was on probation for burglary and drug convictions. He was arrested on federal firearms charges and charged with his parents’ slayings after authorities determined his mother had been beaten and strangled and his father was shot. “At some point he’s looking his mom in the face, beating her and wrapping a lamp cord around her neck,” Lubbock County District Attorney Matt Powell, who prosecuted the case, recalled Tuesday. “I think always there are some unanswered questions. You want to know how somebody is capable of doing that to their parents.” Evidence showed Yowell had a $200-a-day drug habit he supported by stealing. Evidence also showed he burned some of his bloody clothes and hid a blood-stained jacket and the murder weapon in the crawl space of a friend’s house. Defense attorneys unsuccessfully tried to show Yowell was insane. After murdering his parents, Yowell then shut his grandmother, Viola Davis, in her bedroom before going to the kitchen and opening a gas jet. The house later exploded, and Davis was fatally injured, dying 12 days later of burns and complications from smoke inhalation. According to a death watch timetable distributed by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Yowell spent his final days talking with friends, his ex-wife and his daughters. His breakfast, served shortly after 3 a.m., was fried eggs, country gravy, cereal and applesauce. He took photographs with his daughters and friends who visited in the morning."

"HUNTSVILLE — Michael Yowell, who killed his parents more than 15 years ago while trying to steal money from his father to buy drugs, died by lethal injection at 7:11 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 9.3Texas Execution Information Center, www.txexecutions.org, Oct 10 2013.
On 19 May 1998, Yowell, then 28, was in his parents' house in Lubbock. Yowell's father, Johnny, 55, caught him trying to steal money from his wallet. Yowell then fatally shot his father. He then beat his mother, Carol, 53, and strangled her with an electrical cord. He then opened a natural gas line in the kitchen and fled. Yowell's 89-year-old grandmother, Viola Davis, who was living in the home at the time, was disabled and was unable to get out of the home. She was injured when the house exploded. She died from her injuries several days later. Yowell confessed to the crime two days later. He said he was stealing from his father to support his $200-a-day drug habit. He admitted killing his parents and opening the gas jet. The gun was found in the crawl space of his friend's house. At trial, the defense argued that Yowell was insane at the time of the offense and was unaware that killing his parents was wrong. His lawyers put a psychologist, Philip Davis, on the witness stand to read Yowell's extensive history of psychological treatment and his treatment for drug addiction. Yowell's attorneys did not allow Davis to personally examine Yowell, for that would have invited the state to conduct an examination with one of their own expert witnesses. Yowell had previous convictions for burglary of a building and possession of a controlled substance for separate 1988 offenses. He was first sentenced to 10 years' probation on the burglary conviction. He was subsequently sentenced to 8 years in prison on the drug conviction. He served 4 months of that sentence in 1989, then was released on parole. (At the time, early release was common in Texas due to strict prison population caps imposed by U.S. District Judge William Wayne Justice.) Yowell had also stolen from his mother by forging checks and illegally using her credit cards. He purchased firearms from stores using falsified information and his mother's credit cards and then pawned them for cash.
"Michael John Yowell, 43, was executed by lethal injection on 9 October 2013 in Huntsville, Texas for the murder of his parents and grandmother in their home.
After the state presented its evidence for the punishment phase of the trial, Yowell's attorney announced that the defense would not offer any mitigating evidence, because Yowell had instructed him not to. The attorney told the court that Yowell told him "he doesn't want us to take any action that would result in the possibility of a life sentence. He wants a death sentence." The judge advised Yowell to allow his lawyers to defend him, but Yowell said he disagreed with his attorney's plan to play his recorded confession again. The judge decided to allow the attorney to present his defense. The attorney then played Yowell's confession and asked the jury to impose a 40-year sentence in prison in light of the "genuine remorse" Yowell expressed in the recording. A jury found Yowell guilty of capital murder in October 1999 and sentenced him to death. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the conviction and sentence in February 2002. In August 2010, a federal district court vacated Yowell's death sentence based on his claim that his attorney's performance during the punishment phase of his trial was ineffective. While the attorney did present evidence giving a sympathetic depiction of Yowell during the guilt/innocence phase of the trial, that evidence was not presented again during the punishment phase. The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed this decision in September 2011, however. The appeals court found that all of the evidence Yowell had wanted the attorney to present was presented during the guilt/innocence phase, and it was not necessary to present it again during the punishment phase. All of Yowell's other appeals in state and federal court were denied. Yowell expressed love to his family at his execution. He then told the warden, "Punch the button." The lethal injection was then started. He was pronounced dead at 7:11 p.m."4Find A Grave Records, www.findagrave.com, Find A Grave Memorial# 141414754, Jan 16 2015.
