James Scott Porter, 33, was executed January 4, 2005 at 6:12 p.m. by lethal injection in the Walls Correctional Facility at Huntsville, Texas for the May 28, 2000 murder of fellow inmate, Rudy Delgado, 40.
Porter was convicted of Burglary in 1990 and again in 1991, then sentenced to 5 years imprisonment. He was paroled and in 1995 was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to 45 years imprisonment. Porter shot a 40 year old male transient two times in the head and dumped his body in a water well. Porter expressed no remorse for this murder and thought he had done society a favor. While imprisoned, in 2000 Porter beat to death fellow inmate Rudy Delgado in the prison day room. Porter struck Delgado, who was seated at a table, from behind with a rock sheathed in a pillow case. Delgado fell to the floor and lay helpless on the ground as Porter continued to bludgeon his face and head with the rock. When the pillow case finally ripped, Porter stabbed Delgado in the head and face with a makeshift knife. Porter then stomped on Delgado's head and face with steel-toed work boots. Once the attack was over, Porter surrendered to a correctional officer. Porter gave a written statement to investigators, confessing to the murder of Delgado. In his confession, Porter admitted that he had been planning to kill someone for some time, and had decided to use the rock and the knife the week before the murder. Porter later added that Delgado was a convicted child molester who had made a pass at him.
