Will We Have The First Execution Of The Year?

This photo released by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice shows death row inmate Curtis Moore who is scheduled for execution at the Texas prison in Huntsville on Jan 14. Moore, condemned for the slayings of three people during a drug-ripoff robbery in 1995 in Fort Worth, is set for lethal injection this week in what would be the first execution in the United States in 2009.
