Blaine Milam
Blaine Keith Milam, 35, was a native of Rusk County, Texas. The State of Texas executed him by lethal injection at the Huntsville Unit in Huntsville on September 25, 2025, and the Associated Press reported he was declared dead at 6:40 p.m. Before he died, he spoke about his faith and told those watching, "I love you all." Hours earlier, the U.S. Supreme Court denied a last-minute appeal that argued forensic evidence used at his trial was unreliable. Reports said he had an intellectual disability that should have barred his execution, a claim the courts rejected, and the case had been under appeal for many years.
Cause of death, as reported: Executed by the state. Reports say he had an intellectual disability that made him ineligible for execution, but the courts rejected his appeals.
