In this case Bush's signature led, shortly after 6:00 P.M. on the very same day, to the execution of Terry Washington, a mentally retarded thirty-three-year-old man with the communication skills of a seven-year-old.

During Bush's six years as governor 150 men and two women were executed in Texas—a record unmatched by any other governor in modern American history.
