Johnny Paul Pendry

March 27, 2001 -- It was the morning of Oct. 25, 1979, and Pamela Moseley Carpenter didn't want to disappoint her young nieces. Her Halloween decorations weren't complete, and Carpenter wanted them ready before school let out.



But before the 22-year-old could finish cutting out her paper jack-o'-lanterns, a man came to the door of her Livingston, Texas, home.



It was Johnny Paul Penry, a 23-year-old mentally retarded rapist on parole who had helped install appliances in her home weeks earlier. He raped Carpenter and stabbed her in the chest with the scissors she was using to make decorations.



Carpenter lived for two hours after the attack, long enough to give police a description of her assailant. Within hours, Penry — who has an I.Q. of 56 — confessed to the crime. He was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death.
